Put your pooch’s personality on show with an adorable dog photoshoot

The relationship we have with our pets is special and unique. Whether you own a dog, a cat or something more unusual or exotic, your pet is just like another member of the family.

Celebrate that special bond

Our pets, and especially dogs, bond with their humans in such a special way. They bring so much joy, love and laughter into our lives. A dog photoshoot is an opportunity to celebrate and honour the unique connection that you share with your loyal furry friend. Whether it’s a playful romp in the park or quite momment snuggled up on the couch, these images will capture the essence of your special relationship.

Book your dog photoshoot with Justine at The Picture Box

I’m Justine McMillan—an award-winning pet photographer. Dog photography is more than just taking pictures of animals—it’s about capturing the essence of our relationships with our canine companions and preserving those memories for years to come.

Every dog is different—some are bold and some are timid. Dogs can be funny, brave, loyal, loving or sometimes just plain ridiculous. A professional dog photoshoot will capture the essence of your pet. Whether it’s the way they cock their head to one side, the way their ears prick up when they are excited or the way they curl up in a cozy ball when they’re sleepy, it is these quirks and nuances that make them who they are. And these are the special moments and expressions that I focus on in my dog photoshoots.

Our pets are with us for a relatively short period of time, but memories of our time together can last a lifetime. The images from a dog photoshoot will become more precious as the years go by—creating memories that you will cherish for years to come. Whether you choose framed prints to hang on the walls of your home, or a custom pet photography album, your pictures will serve as a reminder of the love and joy that our pets bring into our lives every day.

When you first book I’ll be in touch to arrange a convenient time for you to bring your dog along to the studio. Prior to the session I will chat to you about any ides you may have and whether there are any particular poses or props you would like to include. If you dog a has a particular routine then it may be worth scheduling the photoshoot around this so that they are on their best behaviour.

A dog photoshoot usually lasts upto an hour. After the session you will be invited back to the studio—usually in about a week’s time—to view your images on the big screen in stunning high definition.

Dog Photoshoot FAQs

Of course—as well as dog photoshoots I have photographed cats, horses and even ferrets. Whatever the animal, I’ll be happy to create a collection of beautiful photographs of your pet.

I much prefer to work in my studio where everything is set up and I can control lighting etc. For some animals like horses, this isn’t practical and we can arrange a location shoot. However this will incur additional costs depending on the distances and time involved. I am happy to discuss this with you when you book.

That’s no problem at all—some of the best pet photographs show pets with children or the owner, capturing that special bond that exists between them.
