Dog Photography for Real Dogs

Personality-filled dog portraits for dog lovers — captured just as your dog is, wiggles, tail wags, and slobber and all.

Wiggly dogs welcome

You’re here because you saw my work displayed locally — and that means we already have something in common: a love for dogs and supporting small, local businesses.

I’m Cathie, the photographer behind Wheeldon Photography. I specialize in creating dog portraits that feel honest, joyful, and true to who your dog actually is — not stiff or overly posed, just real connection and real dogs.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I had photos that really felt like my dog,” you’re in the right place.

Your dog doesn’t need to behave perfectly.

They don’t need to sit still.
They don’t need to look at the camera.
They don’t need to be “trained.”

My sessions are relaxed, dog-led, and designed around personality — whether your dog is goofy, shy, energetic, older, or a mix of everything.

This is photography for real dogs, depicting the dog you know and love.

What a session with me feels like:

✔ Calm, low-pressure experience
✔ Plenty of time — no rushing
✔ Gentle guidance & lots of treats, never forcing
✔ Local outdoor locations - favourite spots & we’ll explore new locations too
✔ Focus on connection, not perfection
Most clients tell me:
“This was way easier than I expected — and really fun.”
