Pet portraits to suit you

Pet Portraits on location with you

Pet portraits is something I know nothing about. It’s best to leave that to the experts and here’s a little piece about one of them.

Pet portraits on locationDetheo Photography was founded in 2010 by Maria Michael. I met Maria at a show where we were both promoting our businesses. It was clear that we had a similar ethos towards what we do and the customers we serve. Us with our holiday cottages and barges, and Maria promoting her pet portraits.

I saw the quality of Maria’s work and as she comes to you, I thought it might be useful to let our guests and readers know about what she does. So I asked her for some info for you.

Maria is a Specialist Pet Photographer, for all pets and livestock, large and small. The pet portrait sessions are usually on location, in places such as a forest, woodland or on a beach.

Each one is carefully planned to ensure it caters for the specific requirements of the clients and their pets.

These sessions are not exclusive to just animals. Sessions are perfect for families, or individuals with their pets.

So if you want cute dog pictures, with or without you in them, then here’s the answer.

Pet portraits of your dogsOver the years Detheo Photography has gained a reputation for working with nervous or reactive pets. Particularly those owners have felt it was not possible to find a professional photographer to photograph them.

Her aim is to capture the very essence of an animal’s personality and characteristics, preserving those special memories and ensuring they will continue to be treasured, for a lifetime.

As a guide for you, Weekday Sessions are £100, Weekend Sessions are £140, which includes:

*A planning meeting at the office for those that want it, or a telephone consultation before the session

*The session itself which last about 1-2 hours and reasonable mileage

*Professional Image Editing

*A Viewing & Ordering Session at the office in Bishops Stortford (we offer evening and weekend appointments)

*An online password protected gallery, activated after the Viewing & Ordering Session.

The pet portraits are available to purchase separately. She adopts a strict No Pressure Sales policy, meaning clients are never obligated to purchase anything other than what they chose too.
