before the photoshoot
After your enquiry you will receive a Welcome Brochure with all the information you will need about the photoshoot process.
After choosing a session date we will have a conversation during the pre shoot Consultation Call, covering the finer details of your photoshoot experience.
In the lead up to the session date you will receive a prep and style guide to ensure a smooth and relaxed session for both you and your companion.
I ensure all my clients enjoy their shoot day which are always relaxed and fun, by providing you with guidance throughout.
Canine photoshoots are held in your garden, using my portable studio. Images will be taken with a flash light. Most dogs settle quickly to the flash, and I ensure that they feel comfortable at all times.

CHOOSING YOUR ARTWORK
FRAMED ARTWORK
Frames are a beautiful way to display your images designed to complement your home décor. A choice of traditional and contemporary styles are available with a range of wood finishes, single and multi aperture.
CANVAS FRAME
An alternative to a frame available in a choice of wood finishes. As non reflective and free from glass they make a great option for children's bedrooms and areas where window reflections maybe an issue.
MULTI APERTURE FRAME
If you are struggling to choose just one image, this is the perfect solution. Multi aperture frames range from 3 to 9 images, in a variety of sizes, styles and layouts, designed to fit your home.
MOUNTED PRINTS
Mounted Prints make an ideal option for displaying in your own frames. These high quality prints are available in a range of sizes and are mounted ready to insert into a frame of your choice.

FAQ
What is a portrait photoshoot?
Portrait photography requires no movement, a selection of images will be taken of your pet stationary. For all equine shoots I will need the use of a stable, barn door way or indoor arena to allow me to create some fine art and black background images. Canine photoshoots will be photographed with a portable studio set up in your garden.
How Do I Book A Photography Session?
Please get in touch with your interest using the contact page form. You can also email direct to hello@jorickatsonphotography.co.uk
How Do I Purchase A Photography Session?
To secure your booking a 50% non refundable deposit is required. The full amount is due 2 weeks before the session date. Deposits are non refundable but I am happy to reschedule to another date where possible.
Once your session is booked you will receive a payable invoice to secure your booking.
Do You Travel?
Currently Bedfordshire areas included in the package you purchase. Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire areas covered with a mileage fee.
How Soon Do I Get My Images?
You will receive your full edited online gallery of images up to 2 weeks post photoshoot day.
What Happens If The Weather Is Bad?
We can rebook at another time to suit your availability.
What Happens If My Pet Is Unsettled On The Session?
This is not a problem at all. I prioritise your pet being happy and stress free. I will work around your pet and alter the photoshoot to tailor their needs.
Do I need To Bring Anything To The Session?
All this information will be given in the pre session consultation and welcome pack. You will also receive a pre photoshoot guide before the session takes place.
What if my dog does not like the flash?
Most dogs get used to the flash very quickly. A selection of non flash images can be taken if required, but I will work with your dog to put them at ease with the flash.
Where will my photoshoot take place?
Canine photoshoots are held in your garden. I will bring my portable studio to you, this will help keep your dog feeling relaxed in their home environment. There can be a mixture of images taken without the flash if required, but most dogs settle quickly to the flash. I will ensure that they feel comfortable at all times.
Equine photoshoots will take place at your yard. It is preferable to have a helper on the day, if possible, to help keep your horse looking alert.
