The idea

A relaxed loop around the Manchester region built entirely around photographing your dog — or cat, or notably photogenic goat — in settings worth framing. We pick locations with safe footing, low traffic and gorgeous light, and we move at whatever pace keeps your animal happy. Every tour includes a set of edited digital images delivered within a week.

Dogs ride in the Jeep better than almost anyone. We keep the pace loose, build in water and sniff breaks, and choose stops with soft ground, shade and no road noise — a stone wall on a quiet lane, a shallow stream crossing, a meadow with the mountains stacked up behind it.

Our guide handles the camera while you handle the treats, which is the only arrangement that has ever produced a good dog photo. You get twenty to thirty edited frames, and if your animal decides today is not the day, we will reschedule the shoot at no charge. That happens more than you would think and nobody holds it against them.

Highlights

  • Stone walls, stream crossings and mountain meadows
  • Open-top frames with your dog riding shotgun
  • Seasonal backdrops — foliage, snow or wildflowers
  • Delivery of web and print resolution files

Good to know

  • Well-behaved off-leash dogs get the best photos, but leashed works fine and edits out.
  • Bring the treats your animal actually cares about. We will bring backups.
  • Multiple pets are welcome; more than two, let us know and we will send a second Jeep.
