What makes your dog photography ethical? I believe the best images come from trust, not pressure. My sessions are completely dog-led — no forced poses, we will always keep stress and pressure to a minimum throughout a session. Your dog’s comfort and wellbeing are always the top priority and we can create magic from the most simple of set up. 2. Where do your sessions take place? I’m based on the Devon/Dorset border, but specialising in wild, natural locations I do not limit my session locations geographically. Sometimes travel is required for those perfect beaches, forests, and moorland spots. I’ll help you choose a setting that suits your dog’s personality, your own personal limitations on travelling distance, and gives us the most magical light and backdrop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/67030198-38b2-4f16-8e35-134af23cf940/434A1251-Enhanced-NR-Edit.jpg Field Notes - What to Expect From Your Dog Photography Session: Top 10 FAQs - 3. What if my dog can’t be off-lead? No problem at all! Safety always comes first, most of the dogs I photograph stay on lead and I use a little post-production magic to remove it from the final images. I will often offer a thin show lead for clients to use, but only if their dog is able to offer a steady position. I prefer to use a loop lead (often used to show spaniels and terriers), as this style can be gently tightened to ensure the dog can’t slip out but won’t tighten further in the same way that a slip lead would should the dog move. BUT if your dog is uncomfortable in this set up we can work with their standard collar and lead, this is not a problem and I can just as easily remove this with a bit of editing magic. 4. My dog is a bit shy / wild / doesn’t sit still… is that okay? Absolutely. I work with all kinds of dogs - bouncy, sensitive, reactive, rescue, you name it. Sessions are relaxed, playful, and completely tailored to your dog’s pace and personality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/f7d430b4-07a3-411f-900c-1395bfa6c36b/434A0093-Enhanced-NR.jpg Field Notes - What to Expect From Your Dog Photography Session: Top 10 FAQs - 5. What’s included in a session? Every session includes a pre-shoot consultation, a bespoke outdoor adventure in a handpicked location, and a fully guided experience tailored to your dog. After your shoot, you’ll be invited to a relaxed viewing appointment where you can choose from a carefully curated range of luxury artwork and digital collections. Realistically, most clients invest between £500 and £2000 on their session and final artwork - but there’s no minimum product spend and no pressure to purchase. You’ll only ever invest in the images you truly love. You can view my Portrait Collections on the Sessions page, and full product guides are available on request. Many clients come back time and again, not just for more photographs, but for the experience of celebrating their dog in such a meaningful way. 6. What should I bring to the session? Once you’ve booked, I’ll send you a full prep guide. Essentials usually include a collar and lead, your dog’s favourite treats and/or toy, water, and if we’re heading to a particularly muddy spot a towel can be useful! For adventure sessions or dog sport events, I’ll tailor recommendations to suit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/e9d44d9f-7ca1-49ef-b6ee-1c04df9582a5/434A1650-Enhanced-NR-Edit.jpg Field Notes - What to Expect From Your Dog Photography Session: Top 10 FAQs - 7. Do you photograph other animals? Yes! While dogs are my main muse, I’m happy to photograph other pets, especially if they suit the same outdoorsy or natural vibe. Just drop me a message and let’s chat. 8. Can I be in the photos too? Absolutely! These sessions are just as much about your bond as they are about your dog. Whether it’s a candid cuddle, a windswept walk, or a quiet connection, I’ll guide you so everything feels relaxed and natural. No awkward posing, I promise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/693e734b-2644-413a-ad99-a4888ee8d1bf/434A1133-Enhanced-NR-Edit.jpg Field Notes - What to Expect From Your Dog Photography Session: Top 10 FAQs - 9. How far in advance should I book? To catch the best light and seasonal colour, I recommend booking 4–8 weeks in advance, especially in spring and autumn. If you have a specific date in mind, let me know as early as possible! 10. I’d love to book — what’s next? Just head to my contact page and fill in the short form. I’ll be in touch within 48 hours to plan the perfect adventure session for you and your dog. https://www.wolfie-and-lil.co.uk/field-notes/category/Past+Sessions monthly 0.5 https://www.wolfie-and-lil.co.uk/portrait-experience daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/ce49f48b-9b04-4fc5-81cd-ad8ed6c99b1b/2300C422-C0C4-4541-AD09-F12032BCB54A_L0_001-18_01_2025%2C+17_49_11.jpg Outdoor Portrait Experience https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/2bb6e52c-f95e-4f0c-967e-f40fa87b0de2/Wolfie-and-Lil-Devon-Dog-Photography-07.jpg Outdoor Portrait Experience https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/58d29966-b65f-4043-8db4-f452c451219a/9.jpg Outdoor Portrait Experience https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/c4a9e087-b886-4079-8f4e-89c3c9fb23f9/socials.jpg Outdoor Portrait Experience https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/8d4d7cee-770b-49b4-99d0-495a12b0dac0/434A0579-Edit.jpg Outdoor Portrait Experience https://www.wolfie-and-lil.co.uk/portfolio-dog daily 0.75 2026-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/fafd3343-9fb4-499c-8511-327a90a39290/Han.jpg Dogs Wolfie & Lil Photography, Devon & Dorset dog photographer -

About Lil Lil is the creative force behind Wolfie & Lil Photography - a dog photographer with a unique perspective shaped by a background in geomorphology, years of experience training and competing with dogs, and a deep love for wild, beautiful landscapes. With a scientific eye for reading terrain and light, Lil brings a rare ability to choose and use natural settings that elevate each image into a piece of art. Her understanding of landscape dynamics - honed through a decade of academic research and fieldwork - allows her to craft scenes where dogs belong, rather than pose. As both a handler and a photographer, Lil understands dogs on a deeper level. Her years competing in numerous dog sports have given her an intuitive sense of timing, body language, and behaviour - all essential for capturing character and connection in a single frame. Her work has been recognised in international photography competitions, reflecting both technical excellence and creative vision. Alongside this, Lil continues to refine her craft through mentorship and professional training, proudly holding memberships with leading photographic organisations that uphold the highest standards in artistry and service. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/26ca65ef-d03d-44e7-a499-5e22d7277503/Societies_Mar.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/1750838280884-EI6VGND4Z38ZSMGM1J2Q/38150ECE-F948-47FB-B75F-BB9E76172E1D_L0_001-30_04_2024%2C+14_49_51.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/1750838281190-QENWJDK69F5O2J146EEL/C5965AE0-0462-4DB5-B31C-EFAECA9F8BD5_L0_001-30_04_2024%2C+14_50_33.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/1750838282753-6IRX0DXY20AVPSOGEAXC/Q2+2024+-+Amber+Focus.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/1750838283547-YPNDB2GI8O46N82AUIVJ/razhopecove.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/1750838284157-A3IC2Y6JXIS8SBAGFV2T/IMG_2539.jpg Our Story https://www.wolfie-and-lil.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/f6186f18-a926-41fc-b75a-2b6e94b50995/Wolfie-and-Lil-Devon-Dog-Photography-04.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/ac396647-4c0d-4f96-acf6-21fa8fa9c258/AC3_5329.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67cea6d17d192932782a7661/189fca3a-0e29-486d-a02d-0674ff906ca6/Wolfie-and-Lil-Devon-Dog-Photography-06.jpg Home - Who are Wolfie & Lil? Hey! I’m Lil, an internationally recognised, dog-obsessed photographer based on the Devon/Dorset border (hello Jurassic Coast!). And Wolfie? He’s my four-legged sidekick, the original muse, and the reason this all began. At Wolfie & Lil Photography, I create timeless, story-driven portraits of pets in wild, natural locations. Think windswept beaches, mossy forests, golden sunsets - all captured with patience, play, and a deep respect for animal welfare. My sessions are 100% dog-led and grounded in ethical practice: no forced poses, no high-pressure settings, and absolutely no added stress. Just real dogs, being themselves, in the places they love most. https://www.wolfie-and-lil.co.uk/enquiry daily 0.75 2026-02-21
