As pet owners, we all wish we could freeze time—especially when it comes to our beloved dogs. They’re with us through life’s biggest milestones: breakups, house moves, weddings, children, and quiet nights on the sofa. But as our dogs grow older, the little things—like the subtle grey hairs or the way they sleep a little longer in the sun—start to feel even more precious.
That’s why senior dog photoshoots matter. They aren’t just pictures; they’re a way to hold onto the soul and story of your best friend.
More Than Just a Memory
Senior dogs have a softness and wisdom in their eyes that only years of loyalty can bring. A senior pet session captures that essence—the way they look at you, their favourite walking stick, or how they still try to play like a puppy for a few seconds each day.
These moments often pass us by. A dedicated photoshoot gives you a chance to slow down and focus on what makes your dog unique at this beautiful stage of life.
What to Expect During a Senior Dog Session
My senior sessions are relaxed, gentle, and completely tailored to your dog’s comfort. We usually shoot in a quiet, familiar location like your favourite park, secure field, or even your back garden. I follow your dog's lead, whether they want to sit and watch the world go by or go for a slow stroll together.
I always allow extra time for cuddles, sniff breaks, and naps—and I come prepared with patience, treats, and squeaky toys (for those still young at heart!).
When Is the Right Time?
If your dog is aged 10+ or has been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, now is the perfect time. It’s never too early or too late. The best photos often come when we’re not trying too hard—just letting your dog be exactly who they are.

These Sessions Are Always Close to My Heart
As a pet photographer in Derby and Nottingham, I’ve had the honour of capturing some truly moving moments between senior dogs and their humans. I offer these sessions not just as a service, but as a gift. That’s why senior dog sessions are always free for dogs aged 10+ and for terminally ill pets of any age.
Because they deserve to be celebrated. And you deserve to remember them this way.
