In A Nutshell
Who Am I?
I am a Dog and Equine portrait photographer who specialises in producing images that tell the story of you and your pet, capturing the spirit and personality of them to be preserved forever in beautifully produced framed images, display cases or prints for your home. Long after they leave us you will have memories that will brighten up your day and make you smile, never forgotten.
10% of all profits from sales goes directly to dog or horse rescues or charities to help animals who need our help.
I run my business as ethically as possible using local businesses where possible and businesses that support the planting of trees or with zero carbon initiatives if further afield.
I believe in creating meaningful work for clients that becomes more valuable as time goes on.
In return, with your help we can help animals who are in desperate need of food, shelter and medicine due to the way they have been treated by people.
What Does It Cost?
Every photoshoot is bespoke to you and your pet.
Photoshoots cost £49.95 to book if you have never been with us before.
They last between 90 minutes and 2 hours and will allow time to capture your dog or horse In a variety of images.
The cost covers insurance, my costs and the cost of travelling in the local area (within 20 miles) of KA4.
The shoot fees fees are fully refundable if :
You decide that you do not wish to take or purchase any of the images once you have seen them.
We have to cancel the shoot for any reason and are unable to re-arrange, up to 48 hrs before the arranged date.
This means you can book in confidence that if you are unhappy with the final images presented there is no financial loss to you for booking.
Please Note:
If you are a returning client who has made a purchase before then photoshoots are FREE to say thank you for coming back.
All shoot fees are redeemable against framed wall art and display boxes.
Certain items may not be included as we sometimes change our stock during the year, please ask for details.
What Can We Have done With Our Chosen Images?
I am a print specialist and believe in the power of a printed image to improve someones life.
Our wall art, display boxes and print offerings often change throughout the year as we are at the mercy of our suppliers when they decide to increase/decrease costs, which a long with everything else it seems, have been fluctuating rather a lot in the last six months. Therefore details of what we have will be sent out when we take you though the booking process, so that you get accurate and up to date information up front. Examples of our most popular items can be seen below.
If there is something in particular you are looking for, I can source specific items for you, whether that's a display option or a certain kind of frame colour, just let me know during the booking process.
I always supply a full size digital image copy of any printed wall art that you choose to have made but I do not supply digitals for sale and any digitals that are supplied are edited by myself, cannot be altered in any way, claimed to be by yourself in any way, used in competitions etc.
Please also remember that 10% of all profits from sales goes directly to dog or horse rescues or charities to help animals who need our help.
'Make Your House A Home'
Show off your images with beautiful fully finished art work.
Investing in a photoshoot and then selecting how you wish to display your images around your home can involve some big decisions and can seem overwhelming.
But I have made it really easy for you and will guide you through the process.
Top Tips For Choosing Artwork
Before you see your images:
1. Have a walk around your home and think about where you might like to put images - on the wall, on a shelf, on a sideboard or mantlepiece,
2. Have a measure up to see how big they will need to be to be able to fit the space.
Typically as a rough guide.
40" above a 3 seater sofa.
30" above a 2 seater sofa or above a fireplace.
20" in an alcove.
3. Don't make any decisions until you have seen the images.
4. If you need help send me a photo of your wall with a piece off white A4 paper where you are thinking of hanging an image and I can create a mock up for you so that you can visualise it.
Once you have seen your images:
1. Pick out your favourites.
2. Decide where they will go and how big they need to be to fill the space.
3. Decide how would you like the image finished? - framed, wrapped, acrylic, box?
4. Once you have decided on your favourite images what are you going to do with the others? Possibly the whole collection in a print box or some matted prints?
5. Would any other family members or friends like anything? They make unique, bespoke gifts for birthdays or Christmas or just as a thank you for dog sitting maybe?
6. If in doubt ask for advice before ordering.

Why Buy Direct From Me?
Why make purchasing decisions through me?
The main reason is because myself and all the people I work with to deliver your products, care about you and your images and the animals we are trying to help.
We believe in creating meaningful work for clients that becomes more valuable as time goes on.
In return, with your help we can help animals who are in desperate need of food, shelter and medicine due to the way they have been treated by people. 10% of all profits from sales goes directly to dog or horse rescues or charities to help animals.
But if that is not enough, how about these reasons:
1. We take care of you personally and offer a no-risk guarantee allowing you to see the images first and then, if you are not happy with any of your images and do not wish to make a purchase, I will gladly refund your session fee with the full back up of my industry partners.
2. I can advise you on the best options depending on your home decor, space available and budget.
3. None of my products are available on the high street or online.
4. Everything is bespoke and made for you by hand. Everyone in the supply chain cares about you getting the best product possible and will do everything to check and perfect what I will then hand over to you.
5. All of my products are hand made in the UK and Ireland by people.
6. I only use professional trade labs which are not accessible by the general public.
7. Most of the lab craftsmen have been working in the industry for decades and what they don't know about printing is not worth knowing so your images will turn out as vibrant as you remember them having gone though multiple checks on the way to make sure the colours are calibrated correctly and there are no errors when printing.
8. I have direct contact with the suppliers by name and have met the people who make the products. Often it can take up to 12 different people to work on a product from order to dispatch.
9. If you are not happy with any aspect of your finished product I can get it fixed with no trouble at all.
10. My suppliers all have ethical practices in place regarding recycling and sustainability.
11. The papers I use for printing are of a much higher quality than that available on the high street or online.
12. For our fine art papers we use gallery quality art paper, 100% acid free and ph neutral, allowing for archival prints the same as you would find in an art gallery or museum guaranteeing the life of your images. Add to this textured varnishes applied by hand and invisible, non reflective, UV resistant art glass and you have the ability to create something truly special for your home.
13. When selecting products to offer there is so much choice. I therefore have criteria that every one of my products must meet in order to earn a place in the store. This means that I can guarantee quality and service and that you can buy with confidence and know that if you are not happy with anything then it will never be a problem.
14. If you have something in particular in mind that is not in the store let me know and I'll find it for you.
15. I offer online sales but can also do in person viewings or video calls where you can discuss the images and put an order together with me to make sure that you get exactly what you would like within your budget.
16. Some products carry a 5 year guarantee so if within the 5 years there is an issue, I can replace the product without any questions.
17. I am a 'Specialist Fully Finished Product and Print' based studio.
About The Products

Questions?
How much does it cost?
Prices for prints start at £20 and we create amazing products, whatever your budget. My store is a stress free experience where you can browse at your leisure and contains products for all budgets with bespoke hand picked items perfect for the type of photography I provide. Detailed price lists can be requested when booking a session and products can change throughout the year or be specific to a promotion. I pride myself on never trying to 'sell' to you, the choice and budget is totally up to you and what you can afford. Payment options are available on request if you would like to split payments over £300 if this helps with budgeting. If you would like to see products then this can also be arranged either over a video call or by visiting me in Galston, Ayrshire. The average spend of a client is normally around £450.
What makes the service you provide special for clients?
I provide a bespoke Photoshoot Experience from start to finish and there is nothing more important to me than making sure clients are happy, informed, advised and certain they are making the right decision at every stage of the journey. Customer service is the most important part of what I do and so if the client is not happy then nor am I.
I offer a "Personal Promise and Guarantee' that any problems or unforeseen circumstances can be fixed, re-arranged or re-funded so the client will always leave happy.
What makes your products stand out above anything else available to the average consumer?
I like to make sure that what I create cannot be found on the high street. I use a number of small suppliers in the UK and Ireland who I have confidence in to produce the high demands I put on my work and have ethical practices regarding the wood sources and re-cycling etc.
The products that are offered are all styled personally to the photography I produce and will suit any style of living that you may have from Country Cottage, Flat, Town House to a Beach House for example so if you should move then you it will always look amazing and never out of place.
Why should clients choose you and use your services?
Why not? Try me and see, I promise you will have an amazing experience. I love what I do. I am passionate about the power of Pet Photography to improve peoples lives and want to share this with you.
How can you make my life better?
Every now and again it is important to treat yourself to something special, I know I do. Especially now, people are looking for more than just spending their money on 'things', they are looking for experiences, special products, something that once the money has been spent will stay with them for a lifetime.
That is what I can do for you. An amazing experience in the countryside, having some special one to one time with your best friend , having a really fun time, getting home feeling like you have done something different and then a couple of weeks later, the viewing of images from your special day to bring it all back with option of purchasing a permanent reminder to put on your wall.
Seeing images of your pets on your wall will make you smile and remember every single day and at some point that becomes a really special and important thing to do.
