Photographing The Dogs That Steal Your Heart
From the tilt of a curious head, to those wide puppy dog eyes, to the quirky expressions that make you laugh out loud
- I capture the little moments that show your dog’s true personality!
For the Dogs Who Make Life Unforgettable
"Soul Mate", "Best Friend", "Heart Dog"...
If any of those words have meaning for you, you're my kind of dog lover!
Hi, I’m Lesley!
I'm a professional dog photographer based in Shropshire, West Midlands. If you've ever seen me out and about (probably walking my two pooches!) then you'll know that I just have to stop and say hello to every dog I meet along the way!
Every dog I photograph reminds me why I love this work so much. I don’t do stiff poses or forced studio shoots - I capture your bestie as they truly are: playful, curious, and full of personality.
Whether it’s a cheeky tilt of the head, a joyous zoom across the grass, or that irresistible puppy dog gaze, I aim to capture those little moments that make your heart swell.
Every dog has a story, and my goal is to tell it through photographs you’ll treasure forever. My sessions are relaxed, fun, and full of laughter - because the best photos happen when dogs are free to be themselves.
A Fun, Relaxed Session for You and Your Dog
Sessions last around 60 minutes, but there’s no rush - we work at your dog’s pace. From playful zooms and curious head tilts to those little quirky expressions that make your dog unique, I capture a mix of natural and gently guided poses. Every session is fun, relaxed, and designed to create beautiful memories you’ll treasure forever.
1. Book Your Date
Book your session here and I’ll send a quick questionnaire and helpful guide so you know exactly what to expect. We’ll then chat about locations, your dog’s quirks, and the moments you want remembered.
2. Capture the Photos
We'll meet outdoors at your chosen location. I'll photograph your dog naturally, with gentle guidance and a few posed shots where needed. Family can join if you like. Every moment is designed to be enjoyable for both dog and owner!
3. Professional Editing
After the session, I'll professionally edit your images to highlight your dog’s personality and those little moments that make them unique.
4. View & Purchase
Your photos are delivered via a private online gallery. You can then view them in the comfort of your home and select the images you want - digital, print, or both.
They may not be here for your whole life, but you are there for ALL of theirs.
That thought has always stayed with me.
My beagle, Harper, is my heart dog. She’s been by my side through so many seasons of life. And before her, there was Monty - a black lab we brought home when I was six years old. My brother told me he’d 'eat my toes', so I spent the whole day kneeling on a chair before I finally got brave enough to say hello!!
I’ve never been without a dog since.
I wish we had more photos of Monty. Better ones. The kind that show personality and presence. The kind that freeze a moment in time and bring back every joyful, sweet and loving moment you had with them.
That’s why I do what I do.
Whether your dog is a bouncy puppy, a loyal best friend in their prime, or a gentle soul enjoying their senior years, every stage matters. Every stage deserves to be remembered.
If you’re based in Telford, Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Newport, or the surrounding Shropshire areas, I’d love to help you capture this season of life with your dog - exactly as they are right now.
Because one day, these everyday moments will mean everything.
Project Dog: Celebrating Dogs & Their Stories
Project Dog is all about celebrating dogs, the stories they have and the impact they can make on a person's life.
I love meeting your pups in the park, hearing what makes your dog special, and capturing those little moments that show their personality. If you spot me with my camera bag, don’t be shy - come over and let your dog be part of the fun!
I'll film our interaction to share your pups' story on social media, and take a few quick photos for you to keep as a thank you from me!

Helping Shropshire Dogs Find Their Forever Homes
I love helping rescue dogs find the families they deserve, and am happy to be working with local dog rescues in Shropshire to capture each dog’s personality and charm in a way that helps them get noticed and adopted.
Every year in the UK, an estimated 100,000 dogs live in rescues and shelters (some stay for YEARS), with around 30,000 entering re-homing centres annually - many due to changes in circumstances, relocation, or rising costs.
From playful puppies to seniors with plenty of life left, every dog deserves a chance to find a loving home.
Through my passion for both dogs and photography, I'm honoured to be able to help these dogs stand out and get adopted by capturing their cute quirks, their funny expressions, and their true joyous selves.
...And YOU can make a difference too! Even if you're not looking to adopt a dog right now, simply by liking, commenting, sharing, and tagging people you may know can make all the difference - helping a dog move one step closer to a forever home.
