How it works

Your session will last around an hour and is the time to have some fun. Our studio is relaxed and friendly. Bring some props and a change of outfit with you to mix up your session.

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?

Our sessions cost £25 to book. We include a complimentary 8×6″ printed photograph.

Our products start from just £59. There’s no minimum spend, but to give you an idea, most people spend around £300 when they come back to see their pictures. But we are real believers in our pictures should do the talking, rather than a pushy sales session. Every person is different… and you aren’t every person, right? There… we got that out of the way!

As a small family run business we appreciate all your support during these difficult times. We’ve also had a difficult time with being closed for so long, so every penny you spend with us really means the world. We do kindly ask that you please keep that in mind when booking with us. Our products are competitively priced and we’ve done our best to bring a selection of quality products at reasonable prices.
