NOTTINGHAMSHIRE DOG PHOTOGRAPHER

Hello, I’m Jim

A passionate Dog photographer, based in Nottinghamshire, with a focus on capturing the true spirit and beauty of man’s best friend.

My aim is to create stunning, timeless portraits of your dog(s) that go beyond ordinary pet photography.

My goal is to immortalise the unique bond and personality of your canine companion, turning fleeting moments into cherished works of art. Whether it’s the playful exuberance of a puppy or the wise gaze of a senior dog, I ensure that every image reflects the love and joy your pet brings to your life.

If you’re seeking to capture the heart and soul of your beloved dog in captivating portraits that tell their story, then Jim Connolly Photography is dedicated to creating images that you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

HOW IT WORKS

 

On the Day

Once the booking has been arranged I will send out a little questionnaire to get to know your Dog a little better and to ensure as a photographer that I can get the best out of them and you on the day.

Before we set a date we will had had an initial call either via Zoom or on the phone to plan the session to ensure that you get the images you’d like.

This planning will include where we will meet, be that on your Dogs favourite walk, in your garden, or even in a secure Dog Park – the aim is to ensure that they are are relaxed and comfortable. Don’t worry if you’re not sure where to go, we have some stunning walks in Nottinghamshire with forests, meadows and rivers that I can suggest.

One the day itself I will spend some time before we start introducing myself to your Dog and get to know them a little to put them at their ease. this will included lots of sniffs of equipment and me!

As we spend time together I will focus on picking out natural background that will allow your dog to shine and for their personality to come to the fore. The focus of the session is to capture the bond you have with your Dog will be a mixture of naturally posed images more candid moments and where possible some action type images.

 

After your session

You will receive your images within 14 days after your session in a private on line gallery. Ideally we will meet to do an in person viewing of your gallery either face to face or via Zoom for you to order the images for printing or framing.

Very pleased with the lovely photographs Jim produced of my dog. He was so patient and kind to my very fidgety spaniel and certainly got the very best natural shots and poses in a variety of backgrounds. Can thoroughly recommend.

Our experience with Jim was phenomenal, Biscuit wasn’t exactly the most patient but Jim got some gorgeous pictures of her, the only difficult thing was choosing what pictures to use!
We would absolutely use Jim again, he keeps to time slots and has no problem getting down to dog level, even lying on the muddy floor to get some great shots 📸
My pictures really don’t do the frame justice.
Thank you so much Jim!
We were lucky enough to win a photoshoot with Jim through an event he had kindly sponsored. Arranged to meet Jim at our chosen location (Clumber Park) and had a great hour walking, talking and getting some great photographs of our pooch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jim to get some great photographs of your four legged friend!
My pony and I had a fantastic photo shoot with Jim recently, we thoroughly recommend him! From initial contact and the fantastic style guides for inspiration through to the actual big day and post shoot after care; Jim made us feel comfortable and at ease. We enjoyed his company and the whole experience; and we’ve got some amazing photo memories. Thanks Jim.

FAQs

The answer to your questions

What happens if it rains or my Dog is ill.

I will check in the day before the session is booked to ensure that everything is still ok. If for any reason you can not make the session we will simply rearrange for another date.

Can I have more than one dog?

Absolutely – there is no additional charge for extra Dogs, Horses, Alpacas, Children or Grandparents. Just let me know when we have the initial call so that I can understand and plan the session accordingly

My dog can't be let of the lead, how will that impact on the images

During our initial call we will cover things like this. I would recommend a secure Dog field if you have one near by to that we can get images that where your Dog can run free.
In addition I can remove leads in the editing process if needed and will plan the session accordingly

Do I have to be in the photos?

If you feel at all uncomfortable in front of the camera then not at all. My aim is to capture the connection between you and your dog. I will guide you to pose in the way you and your Dog are comfortable – think high fives, hand licks, over the shoulder or between legs

How far will you travel?

Yes – travel is included in my package pricing – however anything that requires an overnight stay (normally over 3hrs driving time from Nottingham) will be charged at £125 over the session fee to cover the cost.

Do you offer payment plans

A non refundable deposit, 50% of the package cost is required to holding the booking- payment for the session must be made 7 days before the session is booked.

I offer monthly payments via Pay it Monthly – minimum price is £250.
