For Bushey
We work at the animal's pace. A nervous dog gets the first ten minutes with the camera down, and an older one gets a session built from short walks, sitting and standing rather than running. Nothing is asked twice if it clearly is not going to happen.
Bring the toy and the treats that genuinely work, and somebody the dog will actually look at, because a photographer calling a name is a stranger calling a name. You get the still portraits and the moving frames, with leads and lines cleaned up in editing.

What we offer
Enclosed or traffic-free ground agreed with you at booking, never picked at the last minute on the day.
A long line kept outside the frame and edited away afterwards, so uncertain recall stops being a problem.
Overcast light or late afternoon booked for dark coats, so the face reads instead of going flat.
Twenty-five years behind the lens
We plan the light and background before your pet arrives, so the time together is spent playing, not fiddling with kit. We photograph at your animal's eye level, so the pictures feel intimate and full of the character you know at home.
We finish every session with a gallery of edited images, ready to enjoy, share and print. Bring your pet's favourite toy and a pocket of treats, and we will supply plenty of our own too.

Good to know
Keep two hours free, although the part spent taking pictures is shorter than that. The opening stretch goes on letting the animal settle and lose interest in us, which takes longer on the open grounds around Bushey Hall than in the enclosed garden simply because there is more to investigate. Bring water, a towel and one treat the animal does not usually get, held back for the frames that matter.
No, but the order of the day changes. We start on the open grounds around Bushey Hall and let the dog take the edge off before asking for anything, then move to the garden for still frames with the lead on. Bring a long line and whatever noise gets an ear up at home, saved for when we ask rather than spent on the walk over.
Yes. We photograph horses and ponies at the stables or in the field, and small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs in the studio. Whatever the animal, we work patiently and calmly, catching its character without ever hurrying or unsettling it. For outdoor photographs in Bushey we would suggest Bushey Rose Garden and the open grounds around Bushey Hall.
Of course. Anxious cats just need patience, and we have plenty. We keep everything quiet and calm, let your cat wander and sniff at its own speed, and wait until curiosity replaces caution before we start. Gentleness reveals a shy animal's true nature. Bushey and neighbouring Aldenham, Elstree and Carpenders Park are all covered.
Yes, and we cover Aldenham, Elstree and Carpenders Park too, so if the better ground for your animal is across one of those boundaries we can meet there instead. In Bushey we would use the open grounds around Bushey Hall for anything with running in it, and Bushey Rose Garden for portraits on the lead. Sessions at your own home suit older or anxious animals better than either.

The two places worth photographing an animal in Bushey ask for opposite handling, and it is worth deciding which before the day rather than on it. Bushey Rose Garden is planted and kept to a design, so it is a lead-on location and we would not pretend otherwise. An animal in among formal beds is a problem for the garden and a poor frame regardless, because the planting crowds the subject and the hard edges of the beds cut across legs. What the garden does well is the still portrait, taken close in, with the animal sitting and the geometry behind it dropped out of focus. Anything with running in it belongs on the open grounds around Bushey Hall. Open ground has one weakness worth planning around, which is that it offers no shade and no shelter. Under a high sun the light comes straight down, the brow throws the eye sockets into darkness, and an animal cannot be asked to lift its chin, so we drop the camera to the height of the animal's own head and work late in the day when the light arrives flat from the side. Wind is the other open-ground factor. It lifts a long coat, which can help, and it carries scent, which does not, since scent is what turns a settled dog into a distracted one. Older animals generally do better in the garden, where the distance between one setup and the next is a few paces. Anxious animals do better on the open grounds, where nothing comes close enough to startle them.
