Pet Photographer in the New Forest, Bournemouth, and Southampton
Dog, Horse, Livestock and Small Animal Photography – Natural, Relaxed & Personal
Are you looking for a professional pet photographer in East Dorset or West Hampshire?
I offer bespoke one-to-one pet photography sessions designed to capture your animal’s true personality in a relaxed, natural setting.
From playful dogs to gentle horses and characterful donkeys, every session is tailored to you and your animal, creating timeless images you’ll treasure for years to come.
My photography training concentrated on Wedding, Studio, and Outdoor Locations, so your session may include several pets or family group photos, capturing the bond between pet and owner.
Personal Pet Photography Sessions
Every pet is unique, which is why I take a calm and patient approach to every shoot. My sessions are never rushed and are always focused on making your pet feel comfortable and at ease.
Whether we’re working outdoors or at a location that is special for you, I aim to create natural, authentic portraits that reflect your pet’s unique character.
Dog Photography in the New Forest, Purbecks, and surrounding areas
Dogs are full of personality, and my goal is to capture exactly what makes yours special. From energetic action shots to quiet, intimate portraits, I create images that truly reflect your dog’s spirit.
Perfect for Family pets, Working Dogs, Puppies and Older Companions
Equine & Horse Photography
With a strong understanding of horses, I offer dedicated equine photography sessions in the New Forest and surrounding areas.
Whether you’re looking for elegant portraits, horse and rider images, the bond between horse and owner, or natural shots in the field, I work with patience and care to produce striking, professional photographs.
Donkey & Livestock Photography
I also specialise in photographing donkeys and a wide range of livestock — something few photographers offer.
From smallholdings to farms, I can capture Donkeys and Rescue Animals, Cattle, sheep, Llamas, Alpacas, and other livestock.
A Relaxed, One-to-One Experience
Unlike busy studio environments, my sessions are completely one-to-one. My studio comes to you, or at a location of your choice. This allows your pet to relax, resulting in more natural and expressive photographs.
I take the time to understand your pet and work at their pace, ensuring a stress-free experience for both of you.
Pet Photography based in the New Forest
I live near Lymington and cover the surrounding areas, including the New Forest, Bournemouth, Southampton, and the Isle of Purbeck.
