Pet Photographer in Greenwich

Patience is our main tool. We move slowly, speak gently and let your pet set the pace, using treats and play instead of force. Our studio near London stays quiet and free of other animals, so nervous cats and dogs feel safe and settle in their own time. This applies across Greenwich and Blackheath, Deptford and Charlton.

Yes. A pet session anywhere in Greenwich runs on ground the animal uses anyway, and Blackheath, Deptford and Charlton work identically. Say where the dog gets walked most days and we start from that spot, not the doorstep, because familiar ground counts for more to an anxious animal than any view. Cats and small pets remain inside.

Of course. Portraits of owners with their pets are some of the most touching we take. You are welcome to be in the frame, capturing the bond between you, or to stay just out of shot keeping your animal calm and looking the right way. For Greenwich bookings, getting here is simple: Cutty Sark DLR station and Greenwich station connect the area, with the DLR and National Rail links to central London.

Particularly then. An older animal wants a short session on level ground, so in Greenwich we keep to the flat and avoid anything involving a climb. Twenty minutes is often plenty, mostly still frames rather than movement, made low down so the picture meets them at eye level. Their own bed or favourite chair frequently makes a better portrait than anywhere outdoors.

No, though it decides where we go. An energetic dog wants space in Greenwich well away from roads before it will settle enough to be photographed, so a first ten minutes goes on simply letting it run while the camera stays down. After that it holds still for a second or two at a time, which is as much as a frame needs. Bring the good treats.
