How much is a dog photo shoot in Lancaster?

A Dog Portrait Experience with PJL Pet Photography is £95, which includes the photo shoot, professional editing, and a private online gallery.

I’m based in Lancaster and Morecambe, covering Lancashire, South Cumbria, and the Lake District for dog and pet photography.

Do you offer pet photography gift vouchers?

Yes, I offer pet photography gift vouchers, which are perfect for birthdays, Christmas, and special occasions. They can be purchased online.

What if my dog won’t sit still?

That’s no problem at all! I work with dogs of all personalities, and often action shots are the best way to capture their true character.

Can I be in the photos too?

Absolutely! Many owners love joining in for a few portraits with their pets to capture the special bond they share.

How long does a pet photo shoot last?

Most pet photo shoots last around one hour, giving plenty of time for your dog to relax and for me to capture a variety of shots.

What happens if it rains?

If the weather is bad, we simply reschedule your session at no extra cost.

When will I get my photos?

Your edited gallery will be ready within 1–2 weeks, with prints and wall art delivered shortly after ordering.

Do you only photograph dogs?

Dogs are my speciality, but I also photograph cats and other pets.

"Excellent dog photoshoot. Everything was very professional from arranging the appointment, the photoshoot itself to the gallery of amazing photos. Having a black dog, we have really struggled to get any decent photos yet Phil has captured him perfectly. He put us all at ease and made the experience really enjoyable. We are so pleased with the photos- it will be difficult choosing!"
