Dog Photography Mini Sessions
I am on a mission to capture beautiful images of people's beloved dogs. We have recently lost our beautiful Hamish and have clung on to the photographs we have of him. They bring us so much joy and are priceless to us. Professional photography is costly, for good reason. In memory of Hamish, I am offering mini photography sessions at a reduced rate, together with big reductions in products and the cost of digital images for a limited number of sessions in September.
What’s included for just £40
20 minute photo session
A personal viewing session (within 10 days)
Fun props and treats provided
Special promotional offers starting at £50, with big reductions off images and art work
Spots are limited to the dates below. Message liz@the-cowshed.com to reserve your session and capture quality pawsome memories of your special friend. Non refundable session fee is due at time of booking.
📅 Date: Saturday 20th, Sunday 21st and Saturday 27th September.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a maximum number of dogs?
Mini sessions are for 1 dog, as longer time is needed to get dogs working together. Please contact me if you want to include more dogs. We can book two sessions if available. The dogs should be from one household.
What do I bring to the studio session?
Your dog needs to be on a lead when outside on site and we would ask that they come into the studio on one until introductions have been made. If this is an issue for your dog, please discuss it before your session and we can adapt.
A photographer's best friend is the treat tin (well for most dogs) and it is always well stocked. If your dog has a sensitive digestion or needs extra encouragement to focus, please bring a high value treat that they can have such as chicken, sausage, cheese or whatever their food porn is!
Mini sessions are short and are about capturing your dog's personality in beautiful, but simple images. Full sessions allow us to incorporate your dog's favourite toys, beds, quirks and even their hoomans. If this sounds more to your needs then why not consider a full session instead?
What preparations should I make?
Once you have booked, you will be sent a Handy Hints Guide. Please exercise your dog before their session, especially if they are a very energetic breed or youngster. They will still rally during the session, but it is easier if they are not hyper!
Just before your session, please take your dog on a lead walk on site just to encourage last minute wees and poos. All dog waste must be picked up by the owners. Ideally it will be taken home with you or desposited in the dog waste bin near Usk Vets on your way home. It can be left in the temporary bin outside the studio for collection after your session.
Does my dog need to be trained?
Basic commands are helpful, but we photograph dogs of all ages and experiences. We can remove leads or guiding hands in the editing stage if necessary.
What is the timescale for payments?
The non refundable session fee is paid at the time of booking. The session fee payment also confirms that you are agreeing to our terms and conditions, without it the session is not booked.
All print products must be paid for before they are ordered. This will be at the viewing and ordering session after your photographs have been hand edited. We can accept BACS and credit/ debit card payments at that session.
Do you photograph dogs on the banned/dangerous list?
Our insurance does not cover us for the dogs inside the studio, but providing that the rules regarding muzzles and leads are followed then we can photograph them outside. They must be on a lead at all times (which can be edited out).
