Professional Pet Photography & Pet Portraits
Our purpose-built pet photography studio in Wiltshire is where happy tails, big personalities and colourful, expressive pet portraits come together. Designed to be calm, welcoming and completely dog-friendly, the studio provides a relaxed environment that allows your dog to feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
Each studio pet photography session is unhurried, giving your dog time to settle, explore and play naturally. This approach enables us to capture genuine expressions and true personality, rather than forced poses. With professional lighting and years of experience, we create high-quality colourful pet portraits that are full of character, charm and individuality.
The result is a collection of beautifully crafted dog portraits you will be proud to display in your home and treasure for years to come.
Why is our Wiltshire Pet Paw Studio is Different?
We're not a general photography studio, we're pet photography specialists with a purpose-built space designed exclusively for your companion's comfort and safety.
Pet Welfare First
Our pet photography sessions are never rushed and poses are never forced. Each studio pet photography session is guided by your pet’s pace, with careful attention paid to body language and behaviour to ensure comfort, confidence and a positive experience throughout.
Purpose Built Studio
Our Wiltshire pet photography studio is fully secure, climate controlled, and purpose-built specifically for animals, rather than adapted from a human photography space. Every element of the studio is designed with pet comfort, safety and wellbeing in mind.
Professional Quality
Clean, contemporary pet portraits created using professional studio lighting and thoughtfully chosen backdrops that complement each pet’s colouring and character. Every image is professionally edited with care and precision and beautifully detailed results worthy of display.
Positive Fun
We have treats, & toys through out every pet photography session to keep the experience positive and engaging. If your pet needs a break at any point, we take it, without exception. Fresh water is always available, and your pet’s comfort and wellbeing remain the priority at all times.
Time to Settle
We allow time for your pet to explore, sniff and settle into our pet photography studio before any photography begins. This calm, unhurried approach helps pets relax naturally, and relaxed pets consistently create more expressive, authentic and beautifully balanced pet portraits.

What do some of our clients have to say...
Client 1
I recently took my two dogs for a photo shoot with Kit Fanner hoping to get a couple of good photos of them both hopefully looking the same way at the same time not easy with two. Kit greeted us on arrival and showed us to his purpose built studio which is air conditioned to allow humans and dogs to remain comfortable during the shoot. Calming music was playing in the background and Kit allowed both dogs time to adjust to the new environment, plenty of sniffing went on! Next Kit introduced the lights and the backdrop again allowing the dogs time to investigate. Then came the fun bit for the dogs treats, balls, and bubbles they were both quite happy and Kit took some great photos of them sitting, playing and generally just enjoying themselves. Kit obviously has a love for dogs and it shows in the work that he is able to produce when working with them. If you are looking for that special photo of your four-legged friend I would highly recommend Kit.
Client 2
My English Pointer has recently enjoyed a photo session with Kit . She didn't know what to expect but Kit gave her plenty of time and attention to relax with him and adjust to the studio surroundings and lighting equipment. After that, and a few treats, it was plain sailing and she became a very compliant photographic model. As a result, I have a stunning and unique set of portraits to cherish and to share with family and friends.
Client 3
Thanks so much for your patience and perseverance Kit. We are very happy with photos of our lovely boy Claude even if they are not quite what you’d hoped for. You did very well to capture these shots considering your uncooperative model.
Client 4
Thank you so much for yesterday’s photo shoot with Mr Bumble. It so professional with such a relaxed atmosphere for Mr Bumble to settle before the start with the camera. Your interaction with him throughout the process was superb, which resulted in some great, memorable photos.
Client 5
Oh these are amazing, thank you so so much! Now to pick which ones go on the wall!
Other Wiltshire Pet Photography
Our dog agility photography combines speed, precision, and creativity to produce truly striking imagery. Using safe, pet-friendly sage holi powder, we capture dynamic movement as dogs launch, twist, and accelerate through agility equipment, creating bold trails of colour that emphasise energy and athleticism. Each session is carefully planned and calmly executed to ensure the dog’s comfort, resulting in powerful, one-of-a-kind action portraits.
Dog Agility Photography
IIn the Under Paw Studio, we photograph pets from a completely different perspective that is rarely seen. Using a secure, transparent platform, pets are photographed from below, revealing moments of balance, movement and expression that traditional pet portraits simply cannot capture.
This distinctive approach highlights soft paw pads, expressive eyes, curious head tilts and those fleeting, character-filled gestures that define each pet. The result is a collection of modern, playful Under Paw pet portraits that are unmistakably different, creating images that feel as individual and memorable as your pet itself.
