Frequently Asked questions
Where is your studio?
The studio is based at our home, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, UK.
Parking is available on site.
Address details will be provided after confirmation of booking & payment received.
What should I bring?
You are welcome to bring along your dog's favourite toys or any props you wish to be in the photos. I provide treats, however if your dog has any food allergies or is a picky eater, please bring along plenty of treats which are high value and suitable for them.
How should I prepare for the photo shoot?
No specific preparation is needed and no need to tire out your pooch before the session! We understand most dogs are full of energy and that's exactly what we wish to capture in our photos.
If planning on grooming your dog, we recommend doing this a week or two before the session to allow a little growth so they look like their usual selves.
The eyes are the most important part of your pups face, so for very fluffy dogs we advise a good brush and a little trim around the eyes.
What if my dog is shy, anxious or reactive?
We take as much time as necessary to allow your dog to adjust to their surroundings. We start off with allowing them to fully sniff the studio, before introducing them to the camera, lights and backdrop. We expect most dogs to need time to get used to the environment, this is totally fine! We allow as many little breaks as needed.
There will be no other dogs at the photoshoot. Your dog will be in a safe, private space. We always allow extra time between appointments to ensure dogs do not meet on their way in/way out.
The experience is not suitable for dogs who show aggression towards humans.
What can I expect?
A fun, stress free experience! Lots of play and treats, with plenty of time given to allow your dog to get used to their new surroundings.
