When you make contact or purchase a session online, we will be in touch to schedule your photoshoot. You will receive a pre-session questionnaire and I would love to chat beforehand to discuss your requirements, anything you may have in mind for your session and what your desired outcome is for your images.
​
The session usually lasts between
1-2 hours, although your best friend will be running the show!
Environmental sessions can be at your home, garden, the park, or I can join your pets favourite walk. If the weather is too gloomy, or your pooch, horse or small furry isn't feeling great, I can reschedule at no additional cost.
​
Studio photography sessions are available in Shirley, Croydon with easy parking.
Provided you have enough space at home, I can also bring the portable studio to you.
If your doggy knows "sit" and a few commands, that would be helpful, but I have worked with many dogs who haven't learnt this yet.
The little pets and cats I have worked with usually do their own thing!
Favourite toys and yummy smelly treats are good to get the eyes on me, and fun action shots can work well. I can even include their humans too.
Clients usually invest between £250 - £1,800 to treasure these special memories of their best friends forever.
​
After your session, your images will be edited and together we will arrange a viewing appointment to view and choose from your photo collection. Once you have decided on your photo order, your edits on your chosen images will be fine tuned before you receive your products and digital images. 50% deposit is required to place your order with the balance due on collection/delivery.
​
Products: with various Wall Art options, Folio Print Boxes, Albums and prints sizes available, there is
something for everyone's pets to feel and look best in show.
​​
All prints and products include the matching digital images, with packages and collections available to make the most of your images. We have many different options to suit your style, space and budget.

Including Humans in Pet Photoshoots:
Creating a Comfortable, Connected Experience
At Caroline Lilian Photography, we understand that pets are more than just animals—they're family. When it comes to capturing those special moments between you and your furry friends, it's important that you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the process. We know that not everyone feels ready to jump in front of the camera, and that's ok!
Our goal is to create a relaxed, enjoyable experience where you and your pet can shine. We work hard to ensure that every shoot feels relaxed, stress-free, and most importantly, fun for both you and your pet.
For those who prefer not to be fully in the spotlight, we offer creative ways to include you in the photos without the pressure of being front and centre. We can focus on your hands, feet, or even your shoes—subtle, intimate details that still show the connection between you and your pet. These shots can be just as powerful and personal, preserving the bond without making you feel exposed or uncomfortable.
Whether you're holding your pet, gently touching their fur, or simply sharing a quiet moment with your feet next to theirs, we tailor each photoshoot to reflect your unique relationship in a way that feels natural and stress-free.
Our goal is to create a collaborative and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet. Through gentle guidance, a relaxed atmosphere, and a few creative approaches, we can ensure that your photoshoot captures the essence of your relationship in a way that feels comfortable and true to you. You’re not just another subject in front of a camera—you’re part of a shared experience with your pet, and we’re here to make that moment as special as it should be.
Every session is designed with your comfort in mind, ensuring that you and your pet have a fun and enjoyable, memorable experience.
Let us help you celebrate the unique connection you share with your pet, in a way that feels true to you both. Together, we’ll create images that you’ll treasure forever.
If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch.
