Most pets are welcome at Andrew Wood Photography

In the studio at Andrew Wood Photography, we specialise in Family Portraits. What we mean is that we are more than happy to photograph the whole family. And that includes (within reason) family pets!

Last week we were really pleased to have the Parker family along for a photoshoot. And they brought with them their pet house rabbit, Flo, a first for Andrew Wood Photography.

Photographing the rabbit made our female photographer Nicola’s day. She’s particularly keen on animals of all shapes and sizes.  We are quite accustomed to having dogs come into the studio and, by prior arrangement, we are happy to have most house-trained animals along.

We can even offer tailored pet portraits. There are some restrictions with larger animals such as ponies and horses but only due to the logistics of getting them into the studio. For that reason, we will more than happy to tailor an on-location package for those of you with larger family pets.

Next week we actually have a pet-portrait booked in with two cute and fluffy shih tzu’s. If we are able to publish a couple of snaps, we sure will!

Please see the website for details on how you can arrange a shoot today or have a look at our current range of special offers.

2011 was a monumental year in the short history of Andrew Wood Photography. Not only did we move to new premises in Chorlton, but we photographed over 200 families and sold over 450 products (DVDs, Frames & Canvasses). We would like to thank all of our customers for their support, all of whom have enjoyed our very high levels of customer service and professional high quality portraiture.

As we welcome in the new year we would also like to welcome you to the team and as part of that, we thought it was only fair to turn the camera on ourselves for some funky self-portraits. The four permanent team-members at Andrew Wood Photography are:
