Dog Portrait Photography in the South of England, Sussex and Kent.
Memories Frozen in Art.
Your dog is family,
and I understand how much they mean to you.
Time with our dogs is precious, my mission is to celebrate every moment by creating artwork that truly captures your dog’s spirit, giving you stunning portraits to cherish forever.
My promise to you is….
1. Your dog’s welfare and happiness is my top priority.
2. I will create images that you will love for years to come.
3. You’ll want to put photos of your dog on your walls.
Can you photograph me and my dog?
Yes, absolutely!
I always recommend having at least one photo with your dog at some point during your session. Some of the most meaningful photographs I’ve taken are of people with their dogs and more often than not, these end up being the favourite’s of the session. Capturing your bond with your best friend really adds a whole load of emotion and story to your photographs and creates unforgettable memories you are guaranteed to treasure for years to come.
Dog Photography Sessions
Outdoor, On-Location
Your favourite walk, the forest, the beach, a field, a town or a hired location, there are endless opportunities and we can take the session anywhere.
Studio
It’s all about your dog under lights with simple backdrops, at my studio in Jarvis Brook Crowborough.
“My dog can’t be loose…”
Dogs are only ever photographed loose if they have a solid recall and we are in a safe environment (or secure field). Instead, we keep your dog on a lead and I remove it during retouching, like in this example here.

What our clients’ say…
I love them all!
I met Liv for an outdoor shoot with my home bred 8 month old spaniel, the place Liv suggested was absolutely beautiful so I was excited for the photos before they arrived but when I was sent them they were just beyond anything I could have hoped. Liv managed to totally capture the bond, relationship and love that I share with Rizzi and I cannot stop looking at the photos. If you are in two minds about booking, you absolutely won’t regret it!

Fantastic birthday present!
I had a photoshoot with Liv for my spaniel Bonnie as a birthday present. The whole experience was lovely! Liv was very patient with Bonnie who can be very excitable especially out in open spaces like where we had our photos taken. Liv was also kind and helped pose us so that we could get some natural photos together too. I love the photos which are now framed around my home and think it made a fantastic birthday present!

Liv was amazing she was so patient and profession with Ted and Charlotte and the photos are out of this world we are so pleased with them and captures Charlotte and Ted bond perfectly. I would highly recommend Liv.
