FAQ
My dog isn't well trained?
A sit/stay is great but not all dogs will do them. Sometimes we have to gently coax them with treats and toys into the positions we need them to be in to get great photos. Plus dogs can always stay on lead for the photoshoot and with a little photoshop magic i can make that lead disappear! There is no time limit on the shoot so i stay as long as i need to get the shots we want, there is really no rush.
What about the weather?
Ah, the unpredictable British weather! Unless the forecast predicts a torrential downpour or an exceptionally hot day, most shoots can still go ahead. Light rain isn’t a problem—I’ve captured some stunning photos in those conditions. However, extremely hot days are a different matter. The welfare of your dog is my top priority, so if it’s too hot, I’ll happily rearrange the session. Warm, sunny days are wonderful, but full sun isn’t ideal for photography. In these cases, shooting in the shade works best, or scheduling the session for early morning or late evening during the summer months is perfect.
What do i need to bring?
Tasty treats and toys that your dog loves and you know will get their attention. I bring some treats of my own (even a tube of squeezy cheese) but it is up to you with what you think your dog enjoys most.
How and when do i pay?
Full payment is taken when you decide what package you wish to go for. This can be through either bank transfer or Paypal ( Paypal has a pay in three option to spread payment over three payments.)
Full payment details will be given on securing your session.
How far will you travel?
I work predominantly in the Greater Manchester area but i love exploring new locations so i am more than willing to travel further afield for a basic travel cost.
How and when will we receive the artwork?
Once the shoot is complete, I will start processing your images behind the scenes. You will then receive low-resolution, watermarked images to review. After you select the images you’d like turned into artwork, it will take 2–3 weeks for delivery (each piece is quality-checked before it goes out). You can either pick it up, have it delivered by me, ( depending on distance )or opt for postage at an additional cost.
