We loved bringing Fabio & Pepe for their shoot. They are normally quite nervous dogs but Steve soon had them posing and having fun (with the help of a few treats!)

Absolutely! We encourage owners to be part of the photo session. Your interaction can help your pet relax and allows us to capture the special bond you share. Just let us know in advance, so we can plan the session accordingly.
