Hi, I'm Diane

Simply put — I love dogs

I'm a Certified Trick Dog Instructor (CDTI), dog first aider, and professional photographer. I live in Winchester with my partner and our two pups, Dougal the Scottie and Deedee the Irish Terrier
I'm on a mission to create beautiful artwork of happy pooches that you will treasure forever. I believe that each pup is different and needs a unique approach.
Thanks to my knowledge of dogs, I'm confident that we can create stunning artwork of your best friend, no matter how excited, anxious, or goofy they are.

Give it a listen here if you are interested in how and why I ended up photographing pups. If you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear them

'My Dog Cannot Be Photographed'

Do you think that your furry friend is too hard to photograph because they can't be off the lead, are fearful, don't have basic training, etc.? 

Do not worry! I excel at editing out leads, managing the environment, and setting up the session so your pup is happy and relaxed. 

See this picture of Sprout and Noodle? As they are excitable teenage boys, they needed to stay on the lead for this portrait - but that had no impact on the final image whatsoever.

Awards & Shortlisted Images

International Pet Photographer of the Year 2023

This year the International Pet Photographer of the Year has been changed massively which means that there is a more complex scoring and awarding system.

I'm over the moon that from the 6 images I entered, 3 received Silver and 2 Bronze Awards, and one scored at the Professional level. What is more, all three Silver images were taken during normal client sessions with lovely pet dogs.

Animal Image Makers Competition 2023

I'm extremely proud that all 6 images I submitted to the 2023 Annual AIM Image Competition scored 77 points or above.

Two of these images were taken at client sessions with normal family dogs.
