Reviews
"Cate is super talented, has a very calm and kind demeanour, and really knows how to work with families and pets. We have come back to her time and time again, celebrating our family’s special moments through her photography. I would definitely recommend Cate for pets, families, newborns, outdoors shots and headshots!"
"I've had the pleasure of working with Cate a few times over the past two years. I've been very impressed by her professionalism and her photography skills, even with the most challenging of subjects such as my dog! In particular, her positive + cheerful attitude goes a long way at making some of the more nervous among us feel comfortable, which makes for some fantastic photos! Thanks Cate!"
"Cate puts so much effort in all those small details that make her works outstanding when compared with others. She has a studio with many resources on both scenery and clothing, located in an amazingly looking part of the city next to the Thames. She took a set of pics of my little one and our dog and these are by far the best pictures we have of them. And yes, we have been before to a photo session and there is simply no comparison between Cate’s work and others."
"My daughter, Laura brought my dog Stanley and her own, Freddie into Cate’s studio for a photo shoot by prior arrangement with me during a week that I was away and Stanley was staying with her. I thought it sounded like a lovely idea and was happy for Cate to photograph the boys; what a great morning out. I wasn’t sure how Stanley would fare as he can be slightly sensitive in unfamiliar surroundings but I was keen to see the photos Cate would take, so we decided to give it a whirl. Laura reported back that the dogs had a wonderful time with Cate; she really did her utmost to make them feel relaxed and they had really enjoyed the experience. Well, it really does show because the photos are extraordinary and she has really captured their personalities. Thank you so much Cate xx"
"We (myself, mine and my Mum’s dog) had a truly wonderful time with Cate. She set up a photo session with our two, very large and very fluffy dogs and was amazing with them throughout. The dogs had a superb time being loved and cuddled by her, which made them feel totally at ease…even Stanley who is slightly more anxious in unknown territory, particularly as my Mum was abroad that week and he was staying with me, which can heighten his sensitive nature. Cate made sure to be aware of his delicate soul and balanced the need to have the dogs posed for the shots with giving them lots of freedom to wander around and out of shot when they needed some space, which worked wonders to make Stanley feel secure and grounded with Cate and in her studio. Freddie, on the other hand was quite the attention seeker and absolutely loved the limelight- standard. She was extremely patient and kind with them and the results speak for themselves…the photos are absolutely stunning- we are both thrilled- thank...
Photoshoot questions & Answers
When should I book?
For the best results in dog photography, it’s a good idea to book your session as early as possible, especially if you’re hoping to capture a specific milestone, like a puppy’s early months or a special event. I recommend getting in touch at least a few weeks in advance to discuss your dog’s temperament and any key shots you’re after. Once we’ve agreed on a provisional date, you can secure your booking by paying the initial invoice. If you need to reschedule due to any changes, don’t worry, I offer flexible scheduling options. After the date is confirmed, simply settle the second invoice and look forward to a relaxed, enjoyable session where we’ll capture your dog’s unique personality and charm
What if I'm not feeling well or strong enough?
Your health and well-being come first, so if you’re not feeling well or strong enough on the day of your dog’s photography session, don’t worry! Just let me know as soon as possible, and we can easily reschedule to a day when you’re feeling better. I offer flexible booking options to accommodate any changes, so there’s no need to stress. The session should be a fun, relaxed experience for both you and your dog, and I’m happy to work around what’s best for you.
Who should I bring?
For your dog photography session, it’s ideal to bring those that your dog is comfortable with, especially if they can help keep your dog calm and engaged. This could be family members, a partner, or a friend who your dog knows well. Having an extra pair of hands can be helpful for positioning your dog or grabbing their attention with treats and toys. However, if it’s just you or your family and your dog, that’s perfectly fine too! I’ll guide you through the session to make sure we capture beautiful moments together.
What if my toddler acts up on the day?
It’s completely normal for toddlers to have off days, so don’t worry if they act up during the session! I’m experienced in working with young children and pets, and we can take breaks as needed to keep things relaxed and fun. I’ll work around your toddler’s mood and capture moments when they’re calm or engaged. Feel free to bring along their favourite toys or snacks to help keep them entertained. The session is meant to be stress-free, and I’ll ensure we get lovely shots, even if we need a little extra patience.
What should I bring?
For your dog photography session, it’s a good idea to bring along a few essentials to help keep your dog comfortable and engaged. Bring their favourite treats, toys, and perhaps a blanket or bed if it helps them settle. If your dog wears a collar or harness, make sure it’s something you’re happy to have in the photos, or bring a backup that suits the style you’re after. If your dog is energetic, a lead might also be helpful for keeping them focused. Feel free to bring anything else that showcases your dog’s personality or helps them feel at ease.
How do we book?
To secure your session slot, I’ll send a 50% invoice for the bronze package in the realm of dog photography. This is vital due to the fast pace of bookings. Once you finalise the session date, a second invoice will be issued, requiring payment before the session’s commencement. This single payment comprehensively covers the entire Bronze package. Upgrading is an option, sans additional charges. The viewing of your image slideshow and selection transpires 1 or 2 weeks post-session*. Choose 5 images or opt for more by upgrading. Our gallery viewing encompasses not only image choices but also showcases wall art, frames, and other selections. All payments, including upgrades and products, occur through card transactions at this meeting.
Are you insured?
Certainly. My professional standing is fortified by comprehensive coverage through ‘Photoguard Insurance,’ assuring you of reliable protection. Certificates validating this insurance are accessible upon request upon booking dog photography services. It is strongly advised to exercise caution and refrain from engaging with photographers lacking proper insurance coverage. The safeguarding of your experience, memories, and investment rests at the core of my practice. This commitment to professionalism and security underscores my dedication to providing you with a trustworthy and secure photographic experience for your precious family moments.
Are you Qualified?
Absolutely, my professional background boasts 4 years of accredited photography qualifications, further fortified by specialised training in posing techniques and safety protocols with dogs. This comprehensive education equips me with the expertise needed to artfully capture these precious moments while prioritising the well-being and comfort of your family. This commitment to both technical excellence and safety underscores my dedication to delivering a photography experience that is both skilful and secure, ensuring your treasured memories are impeccably preserved.
