Pet photography in Chesham
- Included in the session: A calm sitting for dogs, cats and other pets, led by the animal's temperament rather than a rigid plan, with fine-art prints, framed pieces or canvases to order from the favourites.
- Where we photograph in Chesham: Your home or garden, or a walk at Lowndes Park, The Moor or Chesham Bois Wood. We travel from Northwood, about 11 miles away. The Northwood studio is there too, if you ever prefer it.
- To book: Call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or use the enquiry form on this page.
Expect a shorter booking than you have set aside. A dog spends its best twenty minutes at the start and what follows is a heavier version of the same animal, so anything needing energy is taken at the front and the settled frames are collected later.
You get movement and at least one calm portrait, since the one that gets framed and hung is nearly always the quiet one. Nervous and elderly animals are handled in brief spells with long rests between, and nothing is held in place for a camera.

Kaushik is an amazing guy, and took lovely family photos when requested. I would definitely recommend him!
I love his services, he was very very patient even though we got there late he still took his time capturing a very good family pictures. He also gave us time to satisfy our 6months old one in order to capture her great smile despite the fact that it was passed his closing hours. I would definitely recommend him as you won't be disappointed, you will love him.
I took my elderly parents to have photos path the grandchildren. The whole experience from photo shoot to choosing and picking up the photos was amazing. Kaushik was polite helpful and friendly and made all the kids and my elderly parents feel comfortable. They all enjoyed the experience and the photos were amazing. He even delivered them home on Christmas Eve!
What we offer
Pet sessions in Chesham and
Dogs off the lead
Shot low, down at whatever level the animal is on, and off the lead where that is possible.
Dark coats done properly
Dark coats are lit for rather than repaired later, using whatever surface throws light back at them.
Why choose us
Why Chesham suits an outdoor pet session
Treats are handed out sparingly and swapped around, since an animal full of chicken soon loses interest in one more piece. Each kind of animal needs its own approach. A trained gundog answers commands, whereas a family dog is more interested in its name and a squeaky toy.
Wall art, albums and desk prints let your pet's character show around the home. You are welcome in the photos with your pet, or can stay just out of shot to keep them calm.

Chesham parks and riverside ground for a dog session
Chesham has open ground where a dog could run between frames, including the flat expanse of The Moor beside the River Chess. Every summary is linked to its source, and any lead rules should be checked on site before a dog is let off. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
- Woodland Trust dog code. In Woodland Trust woods such as Chesham Bois Wood and Cowcroft Wood, dogs are welcome but must be kept in sight, under control and on a lead where signposted, and on a short lead near livestock and ground-nesting birds, particularly from March to July. 1
- Chess Valley Walk. The waymarked Chess Valley Walk follows the River Chess for 10 miles between Chesham and Rickmansworth, passing a Roman villa site at Latimer, 13th-century Chenies Manor and the Sarratt watercress beds, and includes stiles. 2
- Rue de Houilles avenue. The Rue de Houilles, the main avenue through Lowndes Park, was once an elm-lined carriageway first planted around 1760 and is now a bridleway and national cycle route planted with mixed trees including blossom, named after Chesham's French twin town. 3
- Lowndes Park is Chesham's large central park, with a large pond, a new playground opened in 2025, and woodland walks towards the Pednor Valley. 4

Good to know
Pet Photographer in Chesham, FAQs
Not at all, most dogs are the same. We go along with a lively dog, catching its personality between games of fetch. On open ground such as The Moor beside the River Chess an energetic dog can run, and we will be ready for the mid-leap shots. A great portrait does not need a statue.
Yes, though it happens at the yard rather than at Joel Street. We come to the yard, in Chesham or out towards Chartridge, Ley Hill and Bovingdon. Square it with the yard owner beforehand, since we need a corner off the route to turnout. It takes two, one holding and one working the ears. Avoid feed times, and have the horse clean and dry.
Yes. Households in Chesham with several animals are welcome, and we photograph them together and one by one. Cats and dogs can share a session, and we take our time getting everyone to look the same way. It helps to have one person per animal.
Yes. Lowndes Park makes a good starting point, and an early meeting time is best. Walk the dog before we arrive, then bring a lead, a long line, a brush, a towel for the car and treats that can compete with a green full of other dogs. If yours is reactive, flag it when you book so quieter ground gets chosen first.

Two things about Chesham shape a dog booking. One is that Lowndes Park is central to the town, so a local dog may arrive already knowing what the place is for. They come out of the car switched on, ears up and hauling towards the green, which is excellent for anything moving and useless for anything still. The walk therefore comes first and the camera second, once the first burst has gone. Most owners plan the reverse, and getting that order right separates a booking that works from a wasted morning. The second thing is the pond. Water is a low bright surface, and on a dull day it bounces light upward, into the eyes and beneath the chin, exactly what a coat of solid black needs and cannot take from an overcast sky. Turning a dark dog so its back is to the green and its face is to the water fixes most of the problem and costs nothing to do. Quieter ground away from the park is what lets a dog work off the lead when its recall is decent but no match for a green full of other dogs, provided lead rules and livestock allow. Say which sort yours is when you book. Weather counts for less than owners expect, since bright overcast flatters a coat far better than sunshine does, and sunshine digs shadow into every fold of it. Elderly animals get photographed where they are already comfortable, and those bookings stay short by design.
