Equine Testimonial

"We have just arrived home from Joanne's studio after taking part in the small breed fundraiser project, that Joanne is running at the moment. We were lucky enough to get a spot and we've had a lovely session with her. Joanne is so friendly and down to earth, my dog can be nervous sometimes and she was able to walk around the studio and take her time to get used to the camera, props and back drops ect. Joanne asked if there were any particular photos we wanted taking and make us feel so welcome. We can't wait to go back and see the photos after they've been edited ect. Thank you for having us Joanne! We loved it!"

Hi,

I'm Joanne

Like many of you, my pets take a huge part of my life. My husband and I never had any children so my pets are very important to me. I always have been a cat person but since becoming a pet photographer I love working with dogs. I will definitely have one in the future but at the moment I spend to much time working full time as a photographer.

I love learning about your pets, their personality and their funny or sad stories. I am always patient when it comes to work with pets and nothing really faze me! For me, the most important is that your pet(s) is not stressed during their photography session. I always give them plenty of time to get used to me (and my camera). I am one of the only pet photographers who gives a 100% guaranty!

I am fully insured and I have gained a Licentiateship  with the BIPP.
I am a published and award winning photographer.
