Frequently Asked Questions

Every pet parent has questions before booking a session, so we've put together answers to the ones we hear most. From choosing between studio and on-location, to what's included in your Collection, to how cats and dogs are each handled with their own pace and personality, you'll find it all here. Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out on WhatsApp or email and we'll be happy to help.

What kind of pets do you photograph?
Mostly dogs and cats, but we love photographing all kinds of animals, from horses to smaller or more unusual pets.  If you have a pet (or two, or three!) you'd like captured, just reach out and we can chat about what's possible.

Do you offer studio or on-location sessions?
Both! We have a studio in Silicon Oasis, Dubai, and a smaller version of our studio in Vila Verde,Braga, Portugal.  We are also happy to travel to your home, a favourite location such as a beach, a forest, river or desert location across the UAE and Portugal.  Please ask us about travel costs to get to the location of your choice.  If you're not sure which suits your pet best, I'm happy to help you decide during your consultation.

How long does a session take?
Most sessions run about 1-2 hours. We move at your pet's pace and take as many breaks as needed, this is meant to be a stress-free, fun experience, not a rushed one.

My pet is nervous, reactive, or not great with strangers, can we still do this?
Absolutely. Every pet is different, and that's exactly why we start with a consultation, so we can learn your pet's personality and plan a session that feels natural for them, not forced. There's no posed, stiff photography here; your pet leads the way.

Can I be in the photos too?
Yes! We photograph pets and the people who love them, if you'd like some portraits with your pet, just let me know ahead of time so we can plan for it.

What's included in the price?
Every Collection is fully inclusive, no hidden or additional costs. Depending on the package you choose, you'll get high-resolution edited digital images, social-media-sized files, professional wall art (canvas or framed print), and/or a printed photo album.

Is there an extra cost for on-location sessions?
On-location sessions may include a travel fee, which depends on how far the location is from Dubai or Vila Verde, Braga, Portugal. I'll always confirm this cost with you upfront during your consultation, so you know the full price before you book, nothing gets added as a surprise later.

When and how do I see my photos?
Within 1-2 weeks of your session, you'll receive a curated shortlist of unedited images in an online gallery to choose from. Once you've made your selections, I'll edit them into the final artwork, removing any distractions so all that's left is you and your pet looking their best.

Do you edit out things like leashes, harnesses, or other distractions?
Yes, any unwanted elements are removed during editing, so you won't even remember they were there.

How do I book a session?
The easiest way is to reach out via WhatsApp or email, and we'll set up a consultation to talk through your pet, your preferred location, timing, and the artwork you're hoping for.

Do you travel outside Dubai?
Yes, I'm happy to travel to other locations across the UAE, and I also offer sessions in Portugal.

Which is better - studio or on location shoots?
Both have their charm, and that's exactly why I offer both. A studio session gives full control over light and background for clean, timeless portraits.  There are less distractions for your pet, as well as being a safe, temperature controlled environment with lots of props which you might want included in your images.    An on-location session captures your pet in a place that means something to you and your pet, whether that's your home, or somewhere on location.   During your consultation, we'll figure out together which suits your pet and your vision best.

Do you only shoot in Dubai and Portugal, or can you travel further?
I serve the whole UAE and mostly north of Portugal, but if you are located elsewhere, get in touch and we can discuss whether we can accommodate you.
