Young at Heart – A Celebration of Senior Dogs.
Honour their golden years with portraits that last a lifetime
Make a £35 donation to Dogs Trust, and receive a studio or countryside dog portrait session - plus a £75 credit toward artwork.
Only 10 portrait sessions available during this offer period.
Because every moment matters more now.
Celebrate the love, loyalty, and joy your older dog brings with a special charity portrait session in support of Dogs Trust.
If your dog is getting on in years, you already know how quickly time passes. The puppy years are long gone. They’ve grown wiser, calmer, and even more precious to you.
This is your chance to capture them exactly as they are today - every whisker, every gentle glance, every sign of the bond you’ve built together.
For a limited time, your £35 donation will give you:
* A full countryside park or studio portrait session
* A £75 artwork credit to use toward your favourite images
* A relaxed, patient experience tailored to your dog’s pace and comfort
100% of your donation goes straight to Dogs Trust.
Let’s make something meaningful together.

Older dogs are treasures. They’ve been with you through life’s ups and downs, and the connection you share is like no other.
Too often, people put off getting professional portraits until it’s too late. This campaign is about saying “now”, not waiting for “someday.”
Imagine looking back years from now and seeing the way they looked at you. Imagine having something you can hold in your hands, hang on your wall, and cherish forever.
Why Dogs Trust - and Why Now?
As a lifelong dog lover and portrait artist, I know how important dogs are to the people who love them. Sadly, not every dog has found that kind of love, yet.
Dogs Trust helps thousands of dogs each year find safety, support, and forever homes.
This promotion is a way to celebrate the dog who’s already part of your life and help the ones who are still waiting for theirs.
Your £35 donation goes directly to Dogs Trust.
And you will walk away with memories you’ll treasure forever.
What does a senior session look like?
Whether in my purpose-built studio or outdoors in the beautiful North Wales countryside, your session will be calm, patient, and completely focused on your dog.
No pressure, no rushing. Just time to capture their true spirit. If your dog prefers a slower pace, needs extra breaks, or enjoys a favourite blanket or toy nearby - we’ll make sure they’re comfortable from start to finish.

FAQs
Just in case you've got some questions first...
How well trained does my dog need to be?
While it would be useful for your dog to have a basic sit/stay, especially for studio sessions, I have worked with many dogs of mixed abilities over the years. We will work together at an appropriate pace to create the best images possible while ensuring that your dog isn't under any stress.
My dog is too nervous and doesn't like cameras.
I've incredible amounts of patience and will never put a dog through anything they are not happy with for the sake of a photograph. Unlike your camera phone, I can work with my camera from a distance away which often means the dogs don't even know they are being photographed..
Can I bring more than one dog or person?
Of course! I love multi-dog sessions and bringing along other family members or a friend makes for great images...or even just a helping hand during the session. If you've a number of dogs of differing ages, that is absolutely fine and we will mix the session up to capture that perfectly.
Can I be in the photos too?
Absolutely. Many clients choose to be in some portraits with their dogs, those often become the most meaningful images.
What if my dog can’t manage a long session?
That’s fine, sessions are completely flexible and tailored to each dog I photograph. We’ll take breaks and work at their pace.
My black coloured dog never photographs well.
As the owner of blacks dog myself, I appreciate how hard they are to photograph. My many years of experience means that I know how to capture their dark fur perfectly. You will love how stunning they look in your finished artwork.
Will I be expected to buy something?
No pressure at all. You’ll see your photos and can use your £75 credit toward any artwork. Products start from £195, but most clients choose to spend from £500 and upwards, but that’s completely your choice.
I'm not quite sure what I want as artwork.
The same day, super-relaxed, design appointment allows me to use my years of experience to help design the best possible artwork from the images you selected and for your home.
