FAQs
My dog has to be on a lead, how will the photoshoot work?
Your dog’s safety is Liv’s top priority. It’s absolutely fine if your dog stays on a lead for all or part of your photoshoot. Liv is skilled at removing leads during the editing process, so your final images will look completely natural. This photograph was captured during a training event, the background distractions and lead have been removed in the final image.
Is it going to be really expensive?
Liv wants you to have complete freedom in choosing how to showcase your images. That’s why her pricing is structured so you only invest in the wall art and prints you truly love. She has carefully sourced premium printing services to ensure your artwork is of the highest quality, with true-to-life colours that will last for years to come.
Your photo session is £75 and includes 90 minutes of photography. Afterwards, you’ll enjoy an in-person gallery viewing where you can see your final images and explore wall art, album, and print options — with Liv’s friendly guidance to help you choose the perfect way to showcase your photos.
I have more than one dog, does it cost more to photograph them all in the same session?
