For Newham
We plan for an hour outdoors and finish sooner if the dog has clearly had enough. The camera stays low for most of that, down at head height instead of aiming down at the animal, which is why the results look like the dog rather than a pet standing by your shoes.
The lead stays on anywhere recall is doubtful, and it gets taken off the picture at the retouch stage. What lands is an edited gallery, including mono conversions wherever the coat justifies one.

What we offer
Dogs photographed on the ground they walk every day, in Newham parks or your own back garden.
Water, mud and long grass are all fine by us; we bring towels and expect to use them.
Nervous or elderly dogs get shorter sessions, planned around their day rather than around ours.
Twenty-five years behind the lens
We stay flexible, moving from studio to garden or park if that is where your pet is happiest and most itself. Focus goes on the near eye every single time. A dog's nose sharp with soft eyes behind it is the most common fault in amateur pet pictures.
You choose your favourites from an edited gallery, and advice on sizes is offered, since a small print of a large dog rarely satisfies anybody. Reactive or anxious dogs are booked in at quiet times, and the plan is agreed with you in advance rather than worked out on arrival.

Good to know
No. An energetic dog hands us movement, and movement photographs better than a sit stay held under protest. The opening ten minutes get spent running about, which takes the edge off, after which the photography runs in short goes, each one followed by a break. Bring the highest value food in the house and a toy that normally lives out of reach, and save the recall calls for when they count.
A set of carefully edited photographs that show your pet exactly as it is. From that gallery you are free to order prints, framed pictures or canvases for your walls. We work to a fast turnaround, so there is very little waiting before you see the results. Getting to Newham is straightforward for us: served by Stratford station on the Elizabeth line, Jubilee line and DLR, with the A13 crossing the borough.
Outdoors for dogs, almost always. West Ham Park in Newham gives room to move, and a dog behaves normally on ground it recognises. Cats, rabbits and anything anxious get done indoors at home instead. Northwood is there for the times a plain backdrop is precisely what the picture needs, and it suits a calm older dog rather better than a young one.
Yes. A horse gets photographed where it is kept and is never taken elsewhere, so the session is built around that yard's routine rather than around what the sky is doing: we work in the gaps left by turnout, feeding and other liveries. The ground itself settles the rest, since a school offers footing and a clean backdrop where a churned paddock offers neither. Dark coats want the day's first or last hour.
Deeply so. Across twenty-five years and thousands of sessions, we have worked with dogs, cats, horses and small pets of every temperament. Owners in Newham can rely on that experience showing as a calm, quick and gentle manner that reassures even the most anxious animal.

The A13 runs across the borough, and it wants settling before a Newham dog session rather than during one. Traffic noise carries a long way, and a dog steady in a quiet garden becomes a different animal beside a road it can hear but cannot see. West Ham Park is the answer largely for that reason: enclosed ground, back from the carriageway, where the noise floor drops far enough that a whistle or a name actually lands. Coat colour picks the hour after that. On mown grass under flat cloud a black dog has no edges at all. The grass sits mid tone, the coat records as a silhouette, and lifting it afterwards only brings up green grain. What puts the fur back is light raking across it instead of falling from overhead, which means the first proper light of the morning or the closing stretch of afternoon, with the dog turned so the sun crosses the flank rather than the face. A pale dog has the reverse problem and wants the flat cloud that ruined the black one. Footing then decides how long the session lasts. Mown parkland drains and stays walkable soon after rain, but soft ground under the trees holds wet for days, and a small dog or an old one gets cold and tired on it much faster than its owner notices. Nervous dogs and elderly dogs get short sessions over ground the dog has walked a hundred times, and nothing whatsoever is gained by pushing on once the animal has lost interest in what is happening.

How it works
We travel to Newham rather than asking you to travel to us. On-location coverage suits weddings, corporate events, team headshots and product shoots, and we bring whatever lighting the space needs. The Northwood studio is available too if you prefer it.
