FAQ

How do you photograph dogs?

I have many tricks up my sleeve to get the dog working with the camera and capturing their best side! Though to be fair dogs rarely have a bad side! I will use food, toys and you to move the dog into various positions, but also I often let the dog be a dog and just capture the resulting cuteness!

Where do you shoot and do you travel?

I am based in the middle of Skåne near Snogeholm however I can come to Veberöd, Malmö, Lund and Ystad. Other locations may result in a travel cost! This will be determined before we sign or commit to anything. I shoot outdoors in public parks, forests and open spaces. We will discuss locations and agree on one together. I can also come to your home and shoot in your garden/house!

When will we get our photos?

You will receive some sneak peeks within 48 hours and the full album will be delivered online within 4 weeks unless otherwise agreed. You can download all the photos from the gallery but also save your favourites, share the album and you will also get a personalised mobile album app that can be saved on your phone for convenience when showing off your beautiful model dog! I don't print photos, however, I can help guide you with the printing process.

How many pictures will we receive?

I depends a little on the package you choose but at a minimum, you will receive 10 high quality edited photos. You will receive the same album twice. One will be optimised for online sharing via social media and mobile apps like whatsapp and the other album will be optimised for printing and displaying in the real world.

I have a nervous reactive or big dog? I am worried about their reaction and yours!

I understand your concerns, and I'm sure (just like me) you've had bad experiences before. But being a proud mamma to a reactive big dog, very little phases me these days. We will have a call before the shoot where we can plan the best way to ensure your dog has the best day ever. While every dog is different I have a lot of methods at my disposal that have proven to work! We can discuss these on the call and I will always listen to you, as you are the expert when it comes to your dog.

I have never been on a shoot. I don't know what to do.

Most people I shoot, haven’t either. So being unsure is normal. However, it is also not your job or responsibility to know how to pose. That is what I am here for. I will utilise you at times to help distract the dog or get them to focus in one direction but I also specialise in candid natural shots. So usually you will just walk your dog, play with the dog and love on your dog like you do on a normal day and I will just be snapping away in the background.

I have a puppy who is not well-trained yet, is that a problem?

No problem. I understand puppies come with higher energy and less command control. But they also come with an extra dose of cute. Puppy shoots always have an element of chaos but that is also why they are so magical. If you wait till the perfect training kicks in you will have missed the adorable puppy phase. Do not wait. The training is not required for a fun and successful shoot!

I am adopting/collecting a dog and want photographs of the first few hours/day together. Is this an option?

YES! I have such regrets for not booking one when we collected Bruno. I underestimated the challenge of both being in the moment and trying to capture the moment! Like so many key events in life they only happen once and it always goes too fast! Having a photographer there who can capture those precious firsts means you can just enjoy the day as it unfolds and then when life calms down you can sit down and relive the chaotic joy of your new dog's gotcha day!

My dog is high energy, never sits still or gets zoomies all the time- how will you get the shots?

With magic :D But also a combination of fancy camera gear and experience! This is perhaps where pro cameras have the edge over phone cameras. We may not get every zoom and leap but trust me we will get plenty of epic shots that demonstrate your dog's athleticism.

My dog's recall isn’t great, but I don't want a leash in the shot. Is there a solution?

Yes of course. Since I shoot outdoors a lot and in a lot of public places often we are legally required to keep the leash on. But with some clever posing on the day, using long lines that are dark in colour we can minimise the visual impact of the leash. And for all else there is photoshop!

Do you only shoot dogs?

No. I am open to photographing all pets however dogs are what I specialise in. But if you have another animal in mind then I am always open to discussing it.

Do I have to be in the shoot with my dog? I am camera-shy!

While the photos I deliver will primarily be just the dog, I always make sure to get shots of the dogs with the humans. I understand you may be nervous or shy in front of the camera. But every time (and I mean every single time) those are the photos people love the most, will print out and be most excited by after the shoot. Remember, your dog is your world, but you are theirs. It is the relationship that is the most special aspect. It deserves to be captured.

We just visited the vet and got bad news. Our time is limited with our dog.

I am so sorry. I dread the day that I get that news from the vet about Bruno. I have special prices and processes to ensure to the best of my ability to get the portraits done in time. I also understand it will be an extra emotional experience, and while it may be hard, it is a wonderful and beautiful way to honour your dog, and the life you have had together. I suggest reaching out to me directly and let get the shoot organised as quickly as possible!
