After much thought, I’ve made the difficult decision to close Your Petographer as my family and I prepare for an exciting new chapter and our move to Australia.

Some of you may have noticed that things have been a little quieter over the past year. Family life has taken priority, and much of my time has been spent navigating the long process of relocating our family to the other side of the world. As that move now becomes a reality, it feels like the right time to officially close this chapter.

When I started Your Petographer, I simply wanted to combine my love of dogs and photography. What followed was more than I could ever have imagined.

To every client who trusted me to photograph their dog, thank you. It has been a privilege to capture so many special memories and meet so many wonderful dogs and their owners along the way.

I’d also like to thank the businesses, charities, dog day care centres, trainers, groomers, and event organisers who supported me and invited me to photograph at their events over the years. Your encouragement and support helped Your Petographer become part of something I never thought possible.

A very special thank you goes to my wife. Behind the scenes she has done so much more than people realise — helping with social media, supporting me at events, listening to ideas, and putting up with more late nights editing than either of us would probably like to admit. Through all of it, she has been my rock and the biggest supporter of this dream. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her.

And now I can’t wait to start this next adventure together as a family — with our kids, and of course Poppy 🐶

Whether you booked a session, purchased artwork, recommended me to a friend, shared my work, or simply followed along, thank you. Every bit of support meant the world to me.

To all the dogs I’ve photographed: thank you for the muddy paws, wagging tails, zoomies, and unforgettable moments.

It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m grateful to everyone who has been part of it.

Thank you.

Neil

🍁Autumn magic at Esher Common with Thula the Goldendoodle 🍁

I recently had the pleasure of photographing beautiful Thula at Esher Common — and this session came with an extra special twist. Her mum booked the shoot as a surprise gift for Thula’s dad, and honestly… what a perfect present. ❤️

Thula was made for autumn. Her gorgeous golden curls blended seamlessly with the warm tones of the ferns, creating the most stunning natural palette. The light, the colours, the textures — everything came together beautifully. And Thula? She absolutely shone.

If you’re thinking about gifting a photoshoot or capturing your dog in the season that suits them best, autumn at Esher Common is hard to beat. Golden tones, soft light, and your dog being their wonderful self — perfection. 🍂📸

Ever looked at your dog mid-zoomies and thought, “I wish I could stuff that energy into a cushion”?

From floofball to full-on bear mode 🐾🎂

I first photographed Elsa the Newfoundland x St Bernard at just 12 weeks old — already weighing 18kgs and full of floof. Fast forward almost a year and her mum booked me again to celebrate Elsa’s 1st birthday with a photoshoot at Banstead Woods in Surrey. She’s now a magnificent 75kgs of gentle giant energy… and yes, her pre-shoot brush filled two shopping bags with fur. Respect. 🙌

Elsa was an absolute sweetheart — still with that cheeky pup sparkle in her eye and a good dose of big dog zoomies (usually right after an enthusiastic bum sniff of any passing dog 😅). At one point I was flat on the ground photographing her bounding towards me, and in my head I turned full David Attenborough:
“Here comes the inquisitive young bear… approaching the strange short man on the floor. Soon he will be covered in slobber and fur, yet somehow… he seems to enjoy this.”

Swipe to the end to see the then-and-now shots — Elsa walking towards me as a baby and again as a grown-up girl. If those don’t melt your heart, then honestly, who even are you??

I forgot to grab my traditional post-shoot selfie because I got caught up chatting with Elsa’s mum. One day I’ll learn that not everyone wants to talk about dogs 24/7… but today was not that day.

I’m off to dig through some bins and start stuffing pillows with all that spare fluff. Stayed tuned for how I get on. 👀🧵✨

Beautiful Millie in the bluebells 💜⁠
⁠
This sweet black Labrador was an absolute star during my spring mini photoshoots at Claremont Gardens. The way the light danced through the trees and caught her glossy coat was just magic. ✨⁠
⁠
I’ve got another black Lab photoshoot coming up soon, and I can’t wait.⁠
⁠
I hear it all the time: “My black dogs are so hard to photograph. I can never get a good photo – they always look too dark!”
⁠
But with the right light, a bit of patience, and knowing how to bring out all that detail in post, black dogs absolutely shine. 💫⁠
⁠
📸 Have you struggled to get a decent photo of your black dog?⁠
🐾 Would you love a portrait where their personality finally shows through?⁠
⁠
Let’s make it happen. DM me to find out more about booking your own dog photoshoot. ⁠

🎉 Happy 5th Birthday, Dobby! 🎉

This lovely Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was a total sweetheart during his photoshoot at Painshill back in May. He looked right at home among the bluebells — pure magic! 💙🌸

Of course, Dobby was on his lead the whole time, in line with Painshill’s dog visitor guidelines — and we still captured so many beautiful moments 🐾✨

It got me thinking… maybe this should be a new tradition? If I’ve photographed your dog and their birthday’s coming up, let me know in the comments — I’d love to celebrate them too! 🐶🎂

📍 I’m a dog photographer based in Ashtead, covering Surrey and the surrounding areas including Cobham, Esher, Epsom, Dorking and Reigate. Capturing joyful moments like this is what it’s all about.

There’s been far too many photos of other dogs on here lately… I’m just here to remind Dad that I’m the only doggo in his eyes 🐾👑

Fresh from the groomers and looking fabulous, I insisted on a lunch date. It had been weeks since I’d had a Poppycino and frankly, the craving was real.

Luckily I’ve been on my best behaviour—no garden breaches, no bin raids—so I had a bit of pawcket money saved up 💰 I gave Dad the look… and off we went to Handleys.

Fresh water on arrival (thank you very much), a few cheeky treats from the jar by the till, and then the main event: a creamy pup cup topped with a biscuit poking out like a 99 flake 🍦✨

I was living my best doodle life. Dad even nearly ordered one for himself.
P.S. He wouldn’t stop raving about his coronation chicken jacket… hello? I’m the main character 🙄

Where should we go for the next Poppycino adventure? Drop your top dog-friendly spots below! 👇
