For many of us, our dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. They share our homes, our routines, and our hearts, so it’s no surprise that more and more people are choosing to have professional portraits taken of their four-legged best friends. At Nicola Bald Photography Studios, we absolutely love welcoming dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities into the studio for unforgettable pet photography sessions.

A Stress-Free, Pet-Friendly Studio

From the moment you step inside, our studio is designed to be calm, welcoming, and comfortable for your dog. We understand that every animal reacts differently to new environments, so we give your pup time to sniff around, explore, and settle in before the camera even comes out. Patience is key—and we have plenty of it!

Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, we take the time to work at their pace so the experience stays positive and enjoyable.

Capturing Genuine Personality

The magic of dog photography lies in the details: the head tilts, the goofy grins, the soulful eyes, and the little quirks that make your dog one of a kind. Nicola’s relaxed approach allows those natural moments to shine. By using gentle direction, plenty of toys, and a whole lot of treats (with your permission!), we create an environment where your dog can genuinely be themselves.

We’re not looking for perfect poses—we’re looking for personality.

Perfect for Every Stage of Life

One of the most beautiful things about pet photography is how it captures your dog through the different stages of their life.

• Puppies with their oversized paws and boundless energy

• Adults in their prime, confident and expressive

• Senior dogs with their wisdom and gentle hearts

Each stage is worth celebrating, and each session becomes a treasured memory you’ll look back on for years.

What to Bring to Your Session

To help your session go smoothly, we always recommend bringing:

• Your dog’s favourite treats

• A beloved toy or squeaker

• A comfortable lead or harness

• Anything that helps your dog feel relaxed

And don’t worry—if your dog can’t sit still, that’s completely normal! We’re experienced in photographing wiggly pups and wild personalities.

Beautiful Portraits You’ll Treasure

After the session, you’ll have a collection of stunning images that truly reflect your dog’s unique spirit. Whether you want a big wall portrait for your home, a set of prints, or digital images to cherish forever, we’ll help you choose the perfect way to showcase your photos.
