Best dog photoshoots in 2021, Hampshire

Helen Rushton • Jan 02, 2022

A look back at our 2021 best dog photoshoots...

It's almost impossible to choose your best dog photoshoots, every dog is different, their personality and love for life shines through in their images and there are always far too many great shots to choose from! As a professional dog photographer I think it's a really useful task to do at the end of the year, I can put a line in the sand of what I achieved and learn from the images.


So incase you have absolutely no interest in my musings I'll get straight to sharing the images - if you would like to know a little more about what I do and how I do it, read on!

I'm really lucky to have both a dog friendly photo studio and amazing locations to photograph dogs outside on my doorstep and I think we all took advantage of being outside and meeting up with people after being locked down in 2020!


However, photographing dog portraits in the studio is really useful for dogs who may have selective recall, mobility issues or just to get those really cute photos if dogs interacting with props!

New Forest dog photography locations

There are so many incredible locations through the New Forest for Dog Photoshoots - from lovely meandering streams to wide open spaces filled with heather the possibilities to get great outdoor dog portraits are endless. The one thing all of the outdoor dog photos above have in common is great light! Shooting first thing or last thing in the day generally means the light is better and often these fabulous locations are quieter too. A couple of my favourite places include Puttles Bridge and Half Moon Common, really easy to get to and park and awesome backdrops without the need to go too far

Dorset beaches best for Dog photoshoots

When i'm looking for a beach location for my dog photoshoots I want a place that has more than just endless miles of sand and sea, features like piers, rocks, groynes and dunes are fabulous for adding a variety of looks within the dog's photo session. Hengistbury Head is absolutely pawfect! There's a great meadow between the beach and parking where we can run off some energy then you can access the beach with it's stunning rock groynes via some hidden sand dunes that tend to be really quiet if you go at the right time of day!


I absolutely love to photograph dogs at Hengistbury Head so if you would like an outdoor dog photoshoot on the beach get in touch using the button below and we can arrange your tail wagging pawtrait session!

Meet Helen & Mash!

Mash, my miniature dachshund, has brought so much to my life, he's my fur baby, my best buddy and my loyal companion - and he's a right little monster (but if you're also a dachshund owner you'll know that already!)


You'll know, as a dog owner yourself, how much they teach us - patience, understanding, care, responsibility - all of these things are what allows me to give you the very best photo experience for you and your dog!
