Fine Art Owner & Pet Photography in West Cork

 

"The most beautiful photographs are rarely the perfectly posed ones."

 

The Portrait Experience

 

A relaxed, fine-art photography experience for dogs, horses and the people who love them.


Together, we'll create a collection of natural-looking portraits that capture the connection you share, rather than simply getting your pet to sit and look at the camera.

Fine Art Prints & Wall Art


Photographs deserve to be more than files on a screen.


Fine art prints and wall art allow your photographs to become part of your home. They are quiet reminders of the connection you share with your animals and the landscapes around you.


A curated collection of atmospheric dog and nature photography prints is also available in the print shop.

FAQ

Where do sessions take place?

Sessions take place across West Cork and surrounding areas, using quiet natural locations such as beaches, woodland areas and open landscapes.

My dog cannot be off lead. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Many dogs remain safely on lead during sessions, and leads can often be removed naturally during editing.

What happens with bad weather?

Soft clouds, mist and changing Irish weather often create the most atmospheric photographs. If conditions become too extreme, we can simply reschedule.

What should we wear for our session?

The best thing is to wear natural colors that don't overwhelm you. And for your dog or horse it is best to keep them safe. Think about how you want your photos to look. We can talk more about this when we do our pre-session call.

How long does it take to get our photos?

Photos will be delivered to your own personal online gallery within 48 hours after the photoshoot. After choosing your favourites, you'll receive the edited version within 2 weeks (Most likely faster)

Do you offer albums or prints?

This is available on request. Please mention this after booking a session and we can talk about it.
