THE GROOMING SESSION ✨
"A quick brush and a wipe around the eyes makes a huge difference in the final edits!"
THE GOOD STUFF 🍖
"Bring high-value treats (cheese or chicken work wonders!) and their favourite squeaky toy."
ENERGY CHECK 🏃♂️
"If your dog is high-energy, a short walk before we meet helps them settle for portraits. If you want action shots, keep them rested!"
SAFETY FIRST 🐕🦺
"Don't worry about the lead! Keep them on a lead for safety; I can usually work my magic and edit it out later."
STAY RELAXED 😊
"Dogs pick up on our energy. If you're having fun, they will too! Don't worry about 'perfect' behaviour."
WANT THE PHOTOS TURNED INTO A MOBILE APP FOR YOU ONLY?
"Then let me know in the email"

COORDINATES✨
"Try to choose a colour palette (like earthy tones or soft blues) rather than everyone wearing the exact same outfit (if you want to match that is fine)! Avoid large logos or neon colours, as they can be distracting in the final edits."
the snack attack🍎
"For families with younger children, bringing small, non-messy snacks is a lifesaver! A quick 'bribery' snack can help keep energy levels high and smiles genuine."

comfortable footwear👟
"Since we'll be using one of our 'Recommended Locations' in Carlisle, we might be walking on grass or trails. Feel free to bring comfortable shoes to walk in and swap them for your 'photo shoes' once we arrive at the spot."
want the pics as a mobile app too? 📱
"Just like my dog sessions, I can turn your family gallery into a custom mobile app for easy sharing! Just let me know via email if you'd like this option."
THE "SECRET" TO GREAT PHOTOS 🤫
"The best images happen when you’re interacting with each other rather than staring at the lens! Don't worry about 'perfect' behavior; if the kids are running around or being silly, just go with it. Those genuine, laughing moments are always the ones you’ll want to hang on your wall."
