Once we’ve chatted about you and your dog and started planning the perfect session, we’ll agree a date and time.
Most of my sessions take place in the early morning or right before sunset – it’s all about beautiful light! When possible, I encourage you to keep the whole day free so that we can work around any inclement weather.
Here at Top Dog, we believe in full transparency when it comes to pricing. You can find all the information about our Open Air Studio Sessions here and our Outdoor Adventure Sessions here.
The session fee is paid to book your session. Only after you have watched your online slideshow premiere will you have to make any decisions on your collection purchase. You only buy what you love!

Sessions usually take 1-2 hours but we will take all the time and breaks your dogs need. With plenty of space for a breakout game of fetch or maybe a quiet cuddle to decompress…

Once your photos have been finalised, prepare for your very own online premiere! Only after viewing your photos do you have make any decisions on what you’d like to purchase.
No digital or printed images are included in the Session Fee. These are sold separately.
Yes, absolutely.
Capturing the connection between pet and owner can make for the most treasured images!
With that said, we are primarily a dog photography studio – the dogs will always be the star of the show in here! You’ll be welcome (even encouraged) to get in a few photos with your dog if you like.
Whatever the training or behaviour of your pet, I completely believe they can have a great photo shoot! I have many years experience photographing dogs of all temperaments and have lots of tricks up my sleeve to get a good gallery of images for you to fall in love with.
Before any session, we’ll chat about your pet so we can plan based on their personality and set expectations. If you have any concerns about how your pet would cope with a shoot, get in touch and we can discuss!
Of course. Lots of our sessions take place with doggos on lead for most (if not all) of the session. It helps keep their attention on us! We’ll work a little Photoshop magic so when you see your final images – you’ll forget they were even on lead.
Yes. I am passionate about ensuring that all dogs can have a fun, relaxed session and get some great photos.
This is why I ask so many questions about your dog before the session – so I can suggest ideal locations and plan the session around not only the look of the photos, but also your dog’s temperament.
I have photographed hundreds of dogs and will use all my experience and expertise to get the very best out of your dog. Every dog is different – you know your dog best and I will discuss all the options with you.
Most sessions take 1-2 hours. That being said, I only ever book one session per day so that we can be flexible to each dog’s needs (and work around the Welsh weather!).
At our Open Air Studio, we have a breakout space if your dog needs a break. We don’t rush the dog – the best photos come when they’re relaxed and having a great time!
