Luxury Outdoor Dog Portrait Experiences in a Private Fine Art Estate
Welcome to an exclusive dog photography studio set within 7 acres of safe, secure, and secluded countryside — a tranquil outdoor haven where artistry and emotion meet.
Each session is a private commission, tailored to reflect your dog’s unique spirit through elegant, expressive portraiture in natural surroundings.
Whether playful, soulful, or serene, Carolyne captures your dog’s essence with sensitivity and style, transforming fleeting moments into heirloom-quality artwork.
Our signature outdoor offerings include Fine Art Portraits created within our beautifully curated sets and scenes — from mature trees to wild grasses and seasonal textures — each natural backdrop chosen to complement your dog’s personality and elevate the final artwork.
For those seeking something more heartfelt, the Guardian Angel session offers a deeply emotional tribute to enduring love.
And for new beginnings, the Puppy Photo Package – My First Photo Shoot celebrates your pup’s earliest milestones with charm and grace.
This is more than a photo shoot.
It’s a luxurious, personal journey — one that honours your dog’s story through exceptional outdoor art.
We look forward to welcoming you.

About:
Creating beautiful dog portraiture is far more than simply ‘point and shoot’. It’s a thoughtful, artistic process rooted in connection, trust, and vision.
Once we understand what our clients truly value, Carolyne carefully designs the ideal outdoor setting — crafting an environment that allows your dog to feel relaxed, confident, and seen.
This intentional approach ensures every image reflects not just how your dog looks, but who they are.
Each photo session is an opportunity to capture meaningful moments and subtle expressions — the kind that speak to your heart.
These are then transformed into bespoke works of art, designed to be cherished for a lifetime and beyond.
