Beautiful award-winning images that capture the spirit and character of your pets, created as stunning artwork pieces for your home.
Clients are always saying how hard it is to get action shots of their dog or how they really want to capture a particular side of their character, but it just never seems to happen. This is where I succeed. I specialise in location and fine art studio imagery, where I will capture the distinctive personality and character traits of your dog in a natural and relaxed location with the beautiful backdrop of the North Wales countryside.
Capture those precious moments to treasure forever, with the perfect pet portrait.

As a dog owner, I fully appreciate how important our pets are to us, the special bond they have in our lives, their characters and that they are an integral part of the family. The natural images I create, as a professional pet photographer, enable you to celebrate the special relationship you have with them, the trust, respect and love that stands the test of time.
Explicitly tailored to you, your session will produce timeless fine-art images to present at home.
It’s always the perfect time to have your session booked in or to purchase a voucher. We would all love for them to be with us forever, but this isn’t the case. So whether they are a recent young addition to your family, or in their more mature years, book a session with me; that way, you will always have a professionally photographed and beautiful lasting memory to enjoy forever. After all, this is the major reason investing in pet artwork products are so worthwhile. Have the artwork of the dogs you cherish now welcome you to your home when they are no longer able to do so themselves.
A great experience. Very welcoming and the photos were amazing.
I had a wonderful time and photos were amazing.
Thanks for such a great experience.
Absolutely thrilled with the photographs. Jonathan really captured his personality in the pictures.
Spoilt for choice when selecting.
Beautiful pictures and a very relaxed, calm atmosphere.
I could tell Flair felt very comfortable with Jonathan.
What an amazing day!! We were bowled over by the photographs of our Newfie.
Couldn’t recommend Jonathan highly enough!!
As the saying goes, life is too short not to capture the essence of your loyal companion. Whether they are mischievous puppies or wise seniors, every stage of your dog’s life is worth preserving through photographs. Just like humans, dogs go through phases of growth and change. Their youth, energy, and undeniable cuteness won’t last forever.
I want to talk about some common myths and misconceptions people might have about booking a professional dog photography experience. As a pet and equine photographer, I understand there might be doubts or concerns about getting professional pictures of your furry friends. But fear not because I’m here to clarify things and show you why it’s worth it!
Dogs hold a special place in our hearts. They’re our loyal companions and confidants and an integral part of our families. As dog owners, we cherish the moments we spend with them, from long walks in the countryside to playful romps in the park.
It’s already the end of 2022, and what a year it has been.
As I reflect on the past year in dog photography, I am filled with gratitude and joy. I have had the privilege of working with so many amazing dogs, each with their unique personality and special bond with their humans.
One of the best things I’ve done in recent years is building my dog photography studio.
It’s flown by, but five years ago, I broke ground on the foundation groundworks for my studio space. I’d previously run my sales and studio dog portrait sessions from a dedicated space in my house, but it was time to take it to a purpose-built location.
I’m fortunate that I had sufficient space to build the studio I wanted on the grounds of my home. Having been in business for quite some time, I really knew what I wanted and could specify the right size and fundamentally how dark I needed it too.
Does your dog suffer from ‘Squirrel syndrome’ when you are trying to get those perfect photos?
We all know the problem…we’ve spent the last few minutes trying to get our dog to sit in the perfect location with the best background for you to create that memorable photograph.
Here are a few tips for you to use when you are next out enjoying life with your dogs
We often struggle to take photographs that do our dogs and their character justice. Perhaps they’re just too fast for you, and you end up with a blur of a tail and nothing else. Or your dog is too dark, and all you can see is a pair of eyes. Maybe they’ve got a short attention span, and you can’t get them to look at you or the camera for that perfect shot.

Another year has passed by so quickly
2021 has been a struggle for everyone, but I’m so pleased that when the rules allowed me to re-open I’ve been able to meet so many lovely dogs and their owners.
I’m very grateful to those clients who trusted me to capture their dogs out on location and travel to spend time in our little part of the beautiful North Wales countryside.
Can I and the family be in the photographs? That’s a question I sometimes get asked by my clients when they book a dog photography session with me. We enjoy amazing relationships with the dogs in our lives and we really should make sure that that is captured during the session too.
I’m lucky to have a pair of dogs at home that are my, sometimes reluctant, models for new locations. They do love water though and any chance of exploring a new forest walk is going to be taken up with happy giggles from them both.
I’m fortunate that as a dog owner, I’ve got a pair of crazy Cocker Spaniels on tap to photograph whenever I need them. But it also means that I put in a lot of time to capture images of them to remember them by. After all, we never know when we might lose them forever.
Although my family had dogs when we were children, and after I left for University, they were always my parent’s dogs rather than my own. My relationship with them was very much like them being part of a busy family unit and companions to all of us.
What if your dog can’t be let off their lead? It’s really not a problem at all. We’ve a number of physical and digital tricks up our sleave
Whilst I do love my outdoor sessions, both at my favourite country park or other locations of my clients’ choice, I am fortunate to have a dedicated dog photography studio.
I really do love my job and the business I have been so lucky to build up over the last eight years or so. Getting to meet my clients and appreciating their love for their dogs is what makes my hours of lying in the mud and being trampled by dogs such an enjoyable career.
When a client decides on booking a specialist dog photographer, what they want to know is will their dog enjoy the experience; plus can the photographer capture the images they see in the photographer’s portfolio with their dog.
An insight into a lot of the questions asked as to why it is important to select the right professional dog photographer for you and your dogs.
As we head out of lockdown, there are various precautions that some clients might wish to take when meeting for our sessions.
Those first few days, and weeks, of having a new puppy in your life is something we sometimes aren’t ready for.
We all appreciate how our dogs aren’t with us for long enough. Depending on the breed, they average around ten years.
