Pet Photography
Fine Art Studio Portraits to Treasure
I use studio lighting and photography backdrops in my studio near Tullamore, Co. Offaly to create a beautiful pet portrait showcasing your pet’s personality. You are welcome to bring your own props to suit your animal’s personality or you can choose from my wardrobe!
A variety of backgrounds are available including the most popular classic black background.
The studio session is ideal for designing amazing personalised wall art to decorate your home.
Most portrait sessions take place at Annaharvey Farm, near Tullamore, where I have my photography studio.
Please note it is a busy Equestrian Centre so there are lots of horses, ponies on site with straw and hay throughout. Please contact me in advance if you have concerns relating to allergies to animal hair, grasses or dust etc.
I do sometimes travel to other locations by arrangement so please get in touch if you have somewhere different in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Patience and a split second in a good pose is all we need! I am very familiar with fast moving animals and am happy to wait for an animal to relax and settle down.
If you have a very high energy dog do give him some exercise before you arrive for the session so he will settle quicker – just avoid wearing him out completely, especially with pups and young dogs.
My pet won't sit still - can you still photograph her?
Yes, you can divide your one hour session between the two dogs.
I have two dogs - can you photograph them both?
I will always do as much as possible to make every animal feel relaxed and happy during a session. I try to make sessions fun, with lots of rewards and breaks. Having said that, please do let me know in advance if you have any concerns about how your dog may react.
Often it just takes some time and patience to make the dog feel safe and build the trust. Do bring your dog’s favourite treats which can help to get the dog into a suitable position for a photograph.
My dog is very nervous - will you still be able to photograph him?
Yes, I am happy for you and your close family to be in the photo alongside your pet.
Can I be in the photo too?

"Aisling is a wonderful person and truly a professional in her field. She was instantly able to put myself and Lucy (my horse) at ease and capture some captivating photographs. The process was fun and enjoyable, we had some laughs while also getting some fabulous photos (the odd funny one as well). I will be back as I have another horse and a dog that definitely need a camera on them 🙂 I simply cannot recommend her enough!"

"Aisling is a super talented photographer who gets the best out of the humans as well as the animals on her shoots. Hardest part for me was picking my favourite photographs as I loved them all!"

"Aisling Deverell Photography was a referral to me, but right from the very first phone call all I experienced a very professional approach to what I wanted done when it came to capturing pictures of our dog Covey. Aisling has a great love and kindness for animals and this came across in her work during the photography sessions.
The final portrait and coffee table book was produced to the highest of standards and I was well chuffed with the results. I would have no hesitation in recommending Aisling. It was a pleasure to do business with Aisling Deverell Photography."
