Where We Can Shoot
I work with dogs and their owners across Lancaster, Morecambe, South Cumbria and the South Lakes, creating natural outdoor action portraits in a variety of carefully chosen environments.
The majority of action sessions take place in and around Lancaster, including Williamson Park, where I know the light, terrain, and backgrounds extremely well — allowing for fast-paced, confident shooting and consistent results.
Beaches, woodland paths, open fields, parkland, and quiet walking trails are all locations I regularly use locally.
If your dog has a favourite walk elsewhere in Lancashire or South Cumbria, this can often be discussed by request and may be subject to a time and travel surcharge.

Why Outdoor Works Best
When dogs are outside, they’re truly themselves.
No waiting, no sitting on a prop, no pressure.
Just fresh air, favourite places and space to explore, relax, sniff and move as they like.
These are the sessions that produce:
- Tail-wagging joy
- Gentle glances and meaningful pauses
- Beautiful portraits full of character and life
Ready to plan something special?
I’d love to meet you and your dog, learn a little about who they are, and choose a location where they’ll feel completely relaxed and happy.
There’s no pressure and no rush — just a lovely walk, some gentle time together, and photographs that feel like *them*.
If you have any questions at all, just ask. I reply personally and I’m always happy to help.
Your dog doesn’t need to do anything special — just be themselves.
