Want to turn your pet into an Old Master star- how about a pet portrait?
I offer two packages - either I can use a good quality photo you already have, or we can do a short photoshoot in my Somerset studio to get suitable images. A lovely present for your friends and family for Christmas!
I have a wide variety of images that can be used to work with a range of poses.
Cost: image from supplied photo: £25
short photoshoot and one image: £50
one high resolution digital image will be supplied. For an additional cost of £10 I will supply an A4 print

Some more of the Lovely Louis yesterday...

09/07/2022

Louis the retiired greyhound visited today - he was huge and very hot but I think we got some nice shots!

24/04/2022

Rigsy came today - he is only 9 weeks old and and is a cross vizsla/doberman. He is at the stage where he hasn't grown into his skin and feet yet!! Despite his youth, he was so well behaved - more so that many of the adult dogs that have been!! I was anticipating my first 'puppy puddle' in the studio but the floor has survived unscathed!!

It’s March, meaning it’s time for the March promotion for Petsmiles!
This month, I am looking for puppies- no restrictions on breed or age, but they must still look like a puppy rather than a young dog.
If you win, you will receive a free photoshoot in my Shapwick studio, plus one free digital image. You will be able to purchase other images, either as digital files or as prints.

Please comment below with a picture and tell me about your pups. I will choose the winner on the 8th March…

02/02/2022

Its the beginning of the month and that means... a new free session up for grabs!
this month I am looking for bulldogs - French, English, whatever! Please add some info and a photo in the comments below. Feel free to share with anyone who might be interested!
I will choose the lucky winner on SATURDAY 12th FEBRUARY so you have until the end of Friday 1st to show me your pups :-) If you are selected, you will win a free photoshoot in my Shapwick studio, plus one free image. Further digital downloads or prints will be available to purchase afterwards. See the last month's lucky winners below - Nellie, Wilf and Mavis!

And the winner of my first offer of the year of a free photo session is…. Laura with her three wire fox terriers, Nellie, Will and Mavis! Laura wins her session free and one digital image. Further images can be purchased after the session! I’m looking forward to having these three in my studio- it could be trouble! Thank you so much for everyone that took part in the promotion. For those that weren’t lucky this time, please contact me if you would like a session with 20% off standard prices plus and extra two digital images. Look out for the new promotion at the beginning of February when I will announce the pet or breed I am looking for!

See the January competition below! I am going to close entries next Saturday 15th, to allow time for the session to be taken before the next promotion… so- if you have a small terrier, message me with details and an image and you could win a free photo session!

Happy New Year to all of my customers and friends!

14/11/2021

I'm looking for a ginger/apricot coloured dog to try out a new backdrop with. I will do a session for free with one digital image for your time...

31/10/2021

I have just received my beautiful professional range book from Saal Digital UK . The quality is simply outstanding, with gorgeous thick acrylic cover and glossy papers inside. I went for the 30cm square option and am so pleased I did- it’s the perfect size to show off my Petsmiles photography images. Take a look- if I’ve photographed your pet recently they are likely to feature!

A lovely bronze for Flora at the Guild of Photographers this month! Kathy Smith

13/09/2021

I had some very special visitors into my studio today, as my two work worlds came together - as a teacher and a photographer. For the last 16 years, I have worked as an advisory teacher with young people with visual impairments. Until she achieved her place at Oxford university to study maths, I worked with Ella in school, teaching her braille and ensuring the school was supporting her appropriately.
Normally I would remove collars from dogs in the studio, but we felt Rio should wear her Guide Dogs tag with pride!

Over the summer holidays, I have visited Scotland to see the red squirrels there....
