Showcasing Your Photos
The best way to showcase your favourite photographs from your session is by turning them into printed artwork that you can display proudly in your home.

Whether you would prefer to have lots of small prints or a large wall art display, there are products to cater for all. Explore the collections available on this page, all products are also available individually (you don’t have to choose a collection – you could even make your own!)

“Liv did some wonderful photos of my dogs. we are extremely pleased with them. liv was very patient with them both especially my jack Russell who is 19.5 partially sighted and deaf. Would highly recommend.” – Wendy, Oscar and Poppy
“I have had two photo shoots with Liv. First was with my two horses a few years back and most recently was with my family (husband, baby and dog) and we have enjoyed both experiences. We also have photos from both shoots at home on our walls and they look great. Easy to book and great value. Also Olivia ordered our photos and had samples to show us so we could pick what was right for our house and budget.” – Steph, Adam and Finley
“Our photo shoot was extremely chilled out and we managed to get some wonderful shots! Liv was great helping to direct me to get the most out of my dog’s shoot because I was a complete novice! The editing was spot on and Liv took time to go through all the print options. I would highly recommend” – Laura and Mae
“I booked my nervous rescue dog for a birthday photoshoot at Liv’s studio for the first time. We turned up in such a fizzy excitable mood and immediately chilled out within 5 minutes of entering the studio! Liv was incredibly calm and professional, making sure we got all the photos we wanted and suggested even more ideas & adapted them for my dog accordingly. The photos have turned out better than we could have ever imagined and we are so thankful for the time and dedication Liv has put into them. She is incredibly talented and we can’t wait to book in again.” – Zoe and Louie
“Ariel and I had an amazing experience with Liv. She dealt very well with the fact Ariel wasn’t too keen on keeping her ears forward. She really showed our relationship off really well and the photos will be a lovely momento of our bond we have formed over the years.” – Charlotte and Ariel
