Dogs in Action — Fast, Fun & Full of Personality
If your dog loves to run, jump or play, this is their perfect session. Action shoots capture energy, movement and excitement — ideal for high-energy dogs.
Whether your dog sprints across fields or splashes through water, I’ll photograph them doing what they love most.
Some of the best moments happen when dogs forget about the camera completely.
Ears flying, paws lifted, running towards the people they love — those bursts of pure happiness are where their personality really comes alive.
This session celebrates their joy.
"Our experience was very good. It was professional, fun and the photos of brilliant quality. We would 100% recommend."

What These Sessions Are Like
We head outdoors to a place your dog enjoys — woodland trails, open fields, parkland, beaches or familiar walks.
Then we simply let them run, explore, play and be themselves.
I’ll guide things gently when needed, but mostly I work quietly and patiently, waiting for:
- The sprint
- The trot back to you
- The playful bounce
- The moment of eye contact mid-run
- The soft panting smile afterwards
These are the moments that show who they really are.
FOR EVERY KIND OF DOG
These sessions are perfect for:
- Dogs who love to run
- Energetic and playful personalities
- Puppies discovering the world
- Confident adventurers
- Dogs who need space and freedom
- Excitable, goofy, happy dogs who don’t sit still
Your dog does not need to have good recall, stay on cue, or “behave.”
We work safely, at their pace, with patience and care.
HOW IT WORKS
1. We start in a familiar outdoor setting where your dog feels comfortable and confident
2. We walk, play, pause and move — nothing forced
3. I capture natural action and joyful expression without interrupting their rhythm
4. You receive a private online gallery to choose your favourite images and artwork
This is about freedom, fun and personality — not perfect posing.
Many sessions take place in and around Lancaster, including Williamson Park. Other locations across Lancashire / South Cumbria can be arranged by request and may incur a travel surcharge.
What You’ll Receive
After your session, your images are carefully edited and presented in a private gallery.
You can choose from:
- Digital image collections
- Print & digital packages
- Framed wall art & statement pieces
In Their Element
Dogs show their true selves when they’re allowed to move, sniff, chase, play and just be.
Your session is shaped around their natural joy, not a staged performance.
The result?
Photographs full of life, energy and happiness.
Ready When Your Dog Is
I’d love to capture their joy in full motion — and the love they always run back to.
"Phil did a photo shoot at Witton Park earlier this year with my Bichon Frise Max. The photo shoot went great and Max was really at ease with Phil and posed at the mention of his name with no trouble at all. The pictures look fantastic and I would definitely recommend Phil at PJL Photography again.A lovely, friendly, down to earth bloke and a great photographer"
