Pet Photographer in Kingston upon Thames

That is completely normal and rarely a problem. We work with a lively dog rather than against it, catching its character between the games. For dogs from London, we happily embrace the action too, with spirited shots mid-leap. Stillness is never needed for a great portrait. Outdoors in Kingston upon Thames we would head for Canbury Gardens, riverside gardens along the Thames, with Bushy Park a short distance away.

Yes. Kingston upon Thames is well inside the area we cover, along with Hampton Wick, Ham and Teddington, and dog sessions happen where the dog already walks rather than anywhere new. We agree a meeting point rather than an address, usually a park gate, and start from there. Cats and smaller pets are done at your home, since moving them is the surest way to ruin a session.

Very often. A puppy or kitten session captures those fast-changing early weeks before they grow up. For families in London, we keep it gentle and playful, working in short bursts and letting the little one explore, so the pictures hold all that early character. This applies across Kingston upon Thames and Hampton Wick, Ham and Teddington.

Regularly. Canbury Gardens covers most of it, and Bushy Park a short distance away is worth the trip for a dog that needs to run properly. Riverside work has one rule: the dry frames are made before anyone goes in the water, because a wet coat lies flat and photographs several shades darker. An older or anxious dog is better off with a short visit well away from the town centre.

Very. With twenty-five years behind the lens and thousands of sessions, we have photographed dogs, cats, horses and small pets of every age and temperament. That experience means a calm, quick and gentle presence that puts even anxious animals at ease. Kingston upon Thames and neighbouring Hampton Wick, Ham and Teddington are all covered.
