A pet session for Cricklewood owners can take place on the open hillside of Gladstone Park, with London stretching out behind. Dogs, cats and other companion animals are photographed alone, together or with their family.
In Gladstone Park, dogs need a lead in the walled garden and are kept out of the playgrounds, outdoor gym and courts, so action pictures happen on the open slopes.

Why book a pet session in Cricklewood
The animal sets the pace. Time to explore comes first, then treats and noises are used to catch attention, and the camera waits for natural moments such as a head tilt or a sprint across the grass.
Older animals are handled gently, with short bursts of shooting and plenty of rest. Retouching keeps the coat's real texture. Afterwards you choose favourites from an online gallery, and images come ready for web and print, with frames, canvases and prints available.

Pet Photographer in Cricklewood, FAQs
Yes. Group frames of two or more pets are planned in short bursts, usually with the calmest animal positioned first and the livelier one brought in once everything is ready. Individual portraits of each animal are taken as well, so nobody's personality gets lost in the group.
That is normal, and it does not stop good pictures. Plenty of strong frames are taken while a dog is moving, sniffing or looking at something off camera. Treats, toys and a little patience usually produce a pause, and on Gladstone Park's slopes there is room to let it run first and pose afterwards.
Very much so. Pictures of an older pet often become the most treasured ones an owner has.
Not at all, and it can be a gift. Energy shows up as wonderful running and jumping pictures, especially on open ground. A burst of play at the start helps a lively dog settle, so the calmer portraits that follow come more easily.
Yes. Outdoor pet sessions in Cricklewood would usually centre on Gladstone Park, on the area's western edge, where the hillside suits action shots and the walled garden suits leashed portraits.
