Outdoor Locations

If you have specific location needs, let me know and we’ll find somewhere great together!

Thank you so much for choosing Laura Wombwell Photography to capture some precious moments between you and your best bud!

Let’s work together to create a fantastic custom experience for you and your pet!

Outdoor Locations

I love photographing pets in the great outdoors! On-location shoots allow your pet to be themselves, to run, jump, play and explore.

Here are some of my favourite locations, but you’re also welcome (and encouraged) to think about outdoor spaces that are special to you and your pet. Do you have a favourite trail or park? A pond your pup loves to swim in, a tree your adventure cat loves to climb? I’d love to photograph your animal in its element!

Rescheduling – We do our best to come up with times that will work for all of the members of your family that will be at the session, but sometimes with outdoor sessions Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate. It’s a good idea to leave a few open days near your session date just in case of rain. Also, I know that life happens, so if you or your pet are feeling under the weather, please let me know as soon as possible so that we can find an alternate date.

Here are some of my favourite locations to get your creative juices flowing!

OUTDOOR SESSION TIPS

LONG LEAD
If you have a long leash for your pet, please bring it along! Long leashes allow us to do all sorts of fun action shots, all while keeping everyone safe.

CLOTHING
If we’re out trekking in the bush, make sure to wear comfortable shoes, and clothing that will hold up in the weather. You might be down in the grass with your pet, so if you want to protect your clothing, please bring a blanket that goes with your outfit.

WEATHER
Since we’re subject to Mother Nature for our outdoor sessions, please let me know if your pet has any sensitivities to the elements. We want to keep your pet as comfortable as possible for their big day!

Hope these outdoor options have got you thinking about what would work best for your session. If you have any questions, or want to chat about further options – let me know!
