Pet Photography in Risca, Newport – Capturing the Heart of Your Furry Family

Your pet is more than just an animal—they’re family. So why not celebrate them with a stunning professional portrait that captures their unique personality and charm?

At my pet-friendly studio in Risca, Newport, I specialise in relaxed, fun, and memorable pet photography sessions, tailored to suit each animal’s character and comfort level. Whether you have a playful pup, a shy senior, or a mischievous moggy, I work patiently and creatively to bring out their best side - and capture it forever.

Why Choose My Pet Photography Studio?

🐾 Pet-Safe Studio in Risca – Designed with your pet’s comfort in mind, my studio is a calm, welcoming space for animals of all shapes and sizes.

🐾 Over 15 Years of Experience – Having fostered dogs for Many Tears Animal Rescue for more than a decade, I’ve worked with dogs of every temperament - nervous, energetic, cheeky, and everything in between.

🐾 Patience, Humour & Heart – Worried your pet won’t sit still? Don’t be. I’ve seen it all before and never rush a session. We’ll take our time and make it fun. Most of the time, we’ll get that perfect photo that makes them look like a pro model—even if the behind-the-scenes story is a bit more chaotic!

🐾 Nervous or Reactive Pets Welcome – I offer pre-session studio visits so your pet can explore and feel at ease before the big day. On the day, we can take it slow—there’s always time for a coffee and a chat while they settle in.

Custom Themes and Setups

My studio features a variety of backdrops and setups, from classic to quirky. Have a specific colour scheme, job, hobby, or idea in mind? I love creating bespoke pet portraits - just let me know what you're dreaming of, and we’ll make it happen.
