Hounslow and nearby
We work at whatever pace the animal will give, and stop when it has had enough rather than when the hour is up. Photographs are taken from the animal's own height, which means being down on the ground for anything small.
The set comes back edited, with the training line taken out of every frame it appears in. Owners are welcome in the pictures and usually should be, since a dog looking at somebody it loves beats a dog looking at a stranger with a camera.

What we offer
Dog sessions on home ground in Hounslow, or out in the park if recall allows for it.
Cats, rabbits and older animals photographed at home, in short spells, with no travelling involved.
Studio sessions at Northwood on a plain background when weather or footing rules the park out.
Local and experienced
Treats are used sparingly and rotated, because an animal that has already eaten twenty pieces of chicken stops caring very much about the twenty-first. Horses are photographed in the yard or the field rather than anywhere unfamiliar, with the handler kept close and just outside the edge of the frame.
Backgrounds are chosen against the coat: a paler backdrop behind a dark dog, a deeper one behind a golden, ginger or white animal. Outdoor sessions can take place on a walk your dog already knows, which is usually where its best behaviour and its happiest expression both live.

Good to know
The Broadway, 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6. For a dog in Hounslow it often does not matter, since we travel to you or meet at the park instead. The room earns its place for cats, rabbits and anything that will not settle outdoors, and for days when rain makes an outdoor session pointless. With a nervous animal, home is nearly always the better answer.
Yes, at the yard where the horse is kept. Horses are never brought to a studio, so the session gets built around turnout, feed and whoever is free to hold, rather than around the light. A dark coat wants the first hour after sunrise or the last of the evening. The yard's own ground and fencing decide what is possible, so we would look before agreeing a time.
No, it usually makes the better pictures. The plan is to let the dog run the edge off first and photograph in the gaps when it comes back to check on you. Movement is easier to work with than stillness, since a dog running towards the camera at a steady speed is far more reliable than one asked to sit and hold it. Open ground helps.
Mostly with calm and patience. We take things slowly, keep our voices soft, and let the animal lead, tempting it with treats and play rather than pushing. For pets from Hounslow, the quiet, single-animal studio means even anxious cats and dogs soon relax.
Both. Outdoors is the default for dogs in Hounslow, on ground the dog already knows or at the park, because a familiar place produces a calmer animal and better ears. The studio suits small pets, very dark coats that need controlled light, and older animals who cannot manage a walk any more. A session can be split, though one or the other is usually enough.
Serving Hounslow
We photograph pet sessions right across London, and Hounslow (Greater London) is well within our regular patch. It sits close to Ealing and Richmond upon Thames, which we cover too. You are always welcome at the Northwood studio too.
A diverse west London borough close to Heathrow, with a busy High Street and a large mix of communities. Served by Hounslow Central, East and West stations on the Piccadilly line, with the A4 Great West Road running through it. For on-location sessions we often head to spots such as Lampton Park, close to the well-known Osterley Park.

Recall decides more about a dog session in Hounslow than the choice of park does, because it sets which end of the ground gets used and how much of the hour goes on walking. Lampton Park is open enough for a dog to be photographed running, but a borough with the A4 Great West Road through the middle of it has traffic close to the edge of most green space, and a dog that ignores its name near a road is not a dog to unclip. Where recall is uncertain the answer is a training line, slack and lying flat on the grass, which is taken out of the picture afterwards; nobody looking at the finished frame can tell it was ever there. Footing changes what is worth attempting at all. Dry ground allows a run straight towards the camera from low down, which is the shot most owners actually want. Wet ground turns the same idea into churned grass and a dog muddy to the elbow, so on those days we hold one position and let the animal come and go from it. Coat colour is the other constant. A dark dog against dark grass or deep shade arrives as a silhouette with the eyes lost in it, and the fix is lighter ground, light coming from behind and above the camera, and a bright overcast sky rather than sun. Pale coats fail the other way and do better in shade. Nervous or elderly animals are steadier at home, on ground they already know, in short bursts with long pauses between them.
