an incredible journey with little nippers & chunky puddings
Raising a litter of fur babes is certainly not for the faint hearted! These little monkeys will steal your heart along with your slippers, but before you know it they will be off to their forever homes with a new name and their mummy-scented blanket.
If you would love to capture your precious litter, I recommend booking in as soon as possible, as 4-5 weeks old is the small time frame that they are awake enough to show their budding personalities, but not quite crazy enough to get up to too much mischief in the studio!
Choose your theme and I will provide suitable props and creative vision.
How does it work?
I have oodles of patience, but you are going to need to bring some too. I can work real magic with these sessions, and they are structured into 2 parts.
The Family Photo - I will set up a prop to fit all your puppies in, but we will take them one by one and spend time with each puppy individually until I get a perfect image of them. - Once I am happy with each pupper's picture, I take these and merge them all together to create for you a gorgeous portrait of the full family!
This takes a good while to accomplish, and a lot of skill!
Individual portraits - After the main event, usually everybody is a bit sleepy from all the commotion. This is when we allow them to settle into another prop for a gorgeous portrait of each beautiful little soul.

FAQ
Is your home studio safe for unvaccinated puppies?
Yes, my home studio space will always be cleaned with parvocidal disinfectant and maintained for their safety.
Do you need a deposit?
For litter bookings, I take a £150 upfront, and the remaining amount or payment plan should be arranged to start from the day of your session.
What happens if puppies are unwell or unable to be photographed on the day?
We can always re-schedule. The timeframe of 4-5 weeks is the best time but I've had several successful sessions with older puppies/kittens - it just might involve a little more patience as they'll be more inclined to explore and wriggle.
When & how will my images be delivered?
New owner packages are prepared after the session and passed to you to distribute — I recommend presenting them at collection day for a really special touch.
Shortly after your session you will be invited to choose from your favourite individual portraits.
All your digital images will then be downloadable from your online gallery which you have permission to also share with the new owners.
Prints will be delivered to your home in time for collection day — just let me know your expected dates when booking so I can plan accordingly
What if we go over time?
I schedule a half day realistically in my diary for these sessions to ensure that we are not rushed. The size of your litter will depend exactly how much time we need, as each little one adds a little more organised chaos - Plus did you really think I wasn't going to schedule time for cuddles? For larger litters, a fee to reflect the extra time and edits will be discussed - but the experience being stress free for both you and the animals is paramount.
How far you travel for home visits?
I'm happy to travel up to 1.5 hours away from SK8 postcode for these sessions, or further for a small travel fee.
