OXFORDSHIRE & BUCKINGHAMSHIRE PET PHOTOGRAPHER
OXFORDSHIRE & BUCKINGHAMSHIRE PET PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
If you’re thinking about experiencing a Pet Portrait Session, the best time to book is right now!
Our four-legged companions play such an important part in our health and wellbeing. They are very much part of the family and can even be our soulmates. Since time goes by so fast, celebrating that special bond is an opportunity some pet owners miss. If you are expecting the arrival of a new puppy or kitten, want beautifully framed images of your pet with family members, or are looking for end-of-life images for your older four-legged friends, I can create timeless imaginings that bring everlasting memories.
I can meet you in a location in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire or South Northamptonshire and photograph your canine or feline companion on their own or with their four-legged friends. We can also make time to get some of you with them.
I mix my love of the outdoors with my passion for animals and can join you to take photographs of your pets. I love taking pictures of dogs and cats – and I have been known to do a photoshoot or two of some beautifully coloured (and giant) reticulated python.
Owning a creative pet portrait is an investment that will make you smile for many years. There will be no rush as we ensure we get the best photographs possible. I will spend time getting to know you and your pets.
Overall, we’ll have fun, and you’ll receive some fantastic images expertly captured in your chosen frame. I’d love to hear from you and meet your fur babies.
We will discuss where to take the photos depending on your companion – be it a cat, dog or other pet – and we can also work together to find the right location.
The safety and wellbeing of your pet is paramount. If they are nervous, I will always work at their speed and if their answer in ‘no’ to a suggested position then we work with that answer and try something else. To prevent a ‘cat-ass-trophy’ we will have a conversation before we meet so we can talk about your cat or dog and the best way to work with them and what motivates them such as treats or toys.
I am used to working with anxious dogs and have undertaken additional training on dog behaviour and canine first aid.

What images does Helen take?
Fine Art Outdoor
The fine art image is a way of storytelling. For example, using light to freeze a moment of your
four-legged friends using artistic skills, something that you will be proud to have as a centrepiece on your wall at home.
Lifestyle Outdoor
Lifestyle photography captures the moment and lets it last forever. This includes everyday fun, which is authentically created into an image for you to smile at for a long time to come.

1. Contact me to book your session
2. Meet me for your photoshoot
3. Come and pick your favourite images to be beautifully framed
4. Enjoy your memories.
STUNNING PHOTOS
I had a brilliant photoshoot for my dog with Helen, we had a fun, relaxed hour of natural poses and action shots ……. I am over the moon with the photos and can 100% recommend Helen to capture the character and beauty of your much loved pet.
YOUR QUESTIONS
What if my pet plays up?
I have worked with shy and scared pets and know from my cats that our pets might not always be keen to have their photograph taken or cooperate during our time together. We will discuss their personality beforehand, including what they like and the best time of day for them. We will plan the session and, if needed, use their favourite toys and treats.
I suggest your dog wear a collar and lead rather than a harness, which can be removed during post-production editing.
We will likely take action shots first, and once your pet settles down, look to take some close-ups and other poses. Whatever happens, we will go with the flow and see how it goes! I look forward to working with you, and we will have a pawesome time!
