How it works

After the session is over, you will be invited back for your viewing and ordering appointment to see your pictures on our large projection screen – usually a week later. You get to choose your favourites and plan where to show off your images.

Most Asked Questions
But my pet won’t sit!
Ok, let’s get the elephant in the room out of the way… or rather the dog or cat in the room! Most pets we photograph won’t sit perfectly for a portrait. Why? Because they are not people! But don’t worry… we’ve been doing this a long time and have a boat load of tricks we use to get great pictures of them. If you’re afraid they won’t sit give us a call to talk it through. Like your pet, we don’t bite! 🙂
But my pet is crazy!
The chances are they really aren’t that crazy! We’ve seen them all, trust me. Our studio is totally pet friendly. So, we don’t mind them running around, jumping on the sofa, making a coffee… That’s why we are a pet photography studio, we expect pets to be pets! PS: The humans however we expect to be on their best behaviour 😉
How much does it cost?
There isn’t a charge for your session – however we do take a refundable £25 deposit on booking – just to secure your date and to ensure you show. We will refund this to you when you come back to see your pictures… or you can put it towards any of our lovely products. Products start from £99. To give you an idea, most people who come in to see us spend around £300+, but there isn’t a hardsell and we aren’t pushy. You could leave just with your free print, but we are sure you will love the photos we take and be tempted to choose more. There, we got that out of the way! 😉

Highly recommend Graham Crichton Photography. The studio is beautiful, clean and so well decorated there is even a water bowl at the ready to make sure your pet is comfortable at all times.
Our dog instantly took to Graham, who got down to his level and made sure to properly introduce himself! When it came down to photos our dog was very relaxed and we were able to make good use of all the props at disposal to ensure on the cutest pictures! I am so impressed with how the photos came out and can easily see why Graham has the reputation he does as they are something I am going to treasure for a lifetime.
To top off all of this Graham himself is so genuine and somehow manages to keep the jokes flowing all while taking these stunning photographs.

We had an excellent time with Graham taking photos of our little pup Ovie. He was very professional in the current climate and also made it very enjoyable for all of us. We had a second session to review our photos and select our desired shots which was very difficult given the quality of all the images. A really enjoyable experience altogether and would highly recommend.
