The Experience

No problem! With the wonders of digital editing I can edit out anything like leads from your photos, just ensure you bring a simple lead with you and for our action shots or beach shoots possibly a long/lunge line and I can do the rest!

No worries, I'm used to working with all kinds of dogs and with a wide range of obedience as well as attention spans. I will figure out as we spend time together what makes your dog tick, enabling me to then be able to use methods to get the very best out of your dog during their session. Every shoot is unique so the end results are varied and specific to your dog and how our session together goes, and this is what makes each session so special.

It can help leading up to your session to practise poses with your dogs to give you a better chance of success on the day. Practising things like; wait, sit, down, paw, doing commands from a distance etc.

As we know the weather in England can be fickle and change very quickly. So leading up to your session I will be keeping a close eye on the weather to ensure we have the best conditions we can for the time of year (with Winter being the wettest of the year). If rain is suddenly forecast, or during the shoot the heavens open and there's no chance it will pass or we can continue, I will cancel the session and we will rearrange for another suitable day free of charge. If the session was already in progress, we will continue where we left off to complete your session.

Of course! If you would like to try a few photos to include you in them that is no problem at all, I will try to get these shots organically while you are interacting with your dog but I can also guide you and your dog into taking some wonderful posed shots to try out too.

During the first part of the session I will allow your dog to just get comfortable around me and my equipment, having a good old sniff. I will just be chatting to you while your dog gets used to both me and the surroundings we are in, and once I feel they are comfortable enough the photos can start. I will take the session to your dogs pace and not push them to go out of what they find comfortable as the point of these shoots is to be relaxed, stress free and happy.

The digital products are a premium product as each photo chosen individually or as a collection will be professionally edited my me to a high standard and these edits will take a few hours each. So the pricing reflects the time and skill taken into creating flawless photos you can print, share and treasure forever!

Please note that I cannot be responsible for the finished look of any artwork or printouts you purchase through online or Highstreet companies.

I am not responsible for the safe storage of your files, if you lose them they will need to be repurchased. Your collection will be saved on my hard drive for up to 6 months before being deleted.

All images are copywrite of LCM Pet Portrait Photography and should not be used for social media, commercial use or to be sold.

When we set up our consultation to go through the different options you might like for your photos and to see any additional photos you might want to have edited, I will show you the range of options, sizes and finishes and advise what would look good in your home. Once you have finalised what you'd like I then require full payment before I can then go ahead and order your requested prints or art. Once full payment has been made, I will put your order through with our professional UK printing lab and from this point forward there is not option to make changes or cancel the order.

Once the order arrives I will check the quality of the printing and finished product, before then arranging to either drop the pieces off to you or for you to collect from me.

Once you have chosen all of your additional photos for editing, wall art, prints etc, the photos will be stored on my hard drive for up to 6 months, in which time if you would like to make any additional purchases of edited photos, wall art or prints I can still order these for you as we did after your session.

But after 6 months the files will be deleted to save storage and additional purchases will no longer be possible, so make sure you order everything you need in plenty of time. I will send you a reminder an month before, to ensure there was nothing more you wanted to purchase or have professionally edited.

I operate in an area around Northamptonshire, South Northamptonshire, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. Feel free to message me your location and I will let you know if you are in my catchment area of work, if you are outside of this I will inform you of the additional milage costs for your chosen location.

Yes! I love different aspects of every season and enjoy getting a variety of moods, finished looks and backgrounds dependant on the time of year. We do special seasonal shoots such as bluebell and heather shoots so look out for these!

Of course! For each additional dog from the same household there is a charge of just £25 so the more the merrier!

If you have a family members dog or your dogs best friend wants to join your shoot, they will be charge £89 which will include 2 fully edited photos for them to keep (they can also make additional purchased of edited photos, wall art, prints etc in a separate private consultation after we have completed yours first). This is for Standard or Trailblazer shoots only.

As with any professional service this totally is unique to what you want. I will go through all the options with you to help you pick the best products for your photos and space in your home. Most people spend on average between £600 - £2000 on their artwork to gain a truly bespoke and personal gallery to treasure and impress anyone coming into your home.
