1. Booking & Payment

  • All sessions are paid for in full at the time of booking via our website.

  • Once your booking is received, we’ll contact you by email to organise the date, time, and location for your shoot.

2. Rescheduling & Cancellations

Rescheduling

  • You can reschedule your shoot at no extra charge with at least 48 hours’ notice.

  • We’re flexible in the case of bad weather, illness, or other unforeseen issues — just let us know and we’ll work with you to rebook.

Cancellations

  • More than 72 hours before your session: Full refund

  • 48–72 hours before: 50% refund

  • Less than 48 hours before: No refund, as your session time has already been set aside

  • If your cancellation is due to an emergency, please get in touch — we aim to be understanding wherever possible.

3. What’s Included

  • Each package includes a minimum of 10 professionally edited, high-resolution digital images, unless otherwise stated.

  • Images are delivered via a private online gallery within 2–3 weeks of the session.

  • You can download and print these images for personal use only.

4. Dog Limit & Group Sessions

  • All packages are designed for a maximum of 2 dogs per session.

  • The Last Moments and Sports packages are strictly limited to 1 dog to ensure proper attention and care.

  • Additional dogs (where allowed) are charged at £50 per dog.

  • For sessions involving more than 3 dogs, or unique setups, we offer custom packages — please get in touch to discuss.

5. Travel Policy

  • Travel is included for locations within a 20-mile radius of BS5 (East Bristol).

  • For locations outside this area, mileage is charged at £0.45 per mile (each way).

  • Travel costs will be confirmed and invoiced before your session is finalised.

6. Your Dog’s Safety & Comfort

  • Your dog remains your responsibility throughout the session.

  • If your dog needs to stay on a lead, that’s absolutely fine — we often remove leads in post-processing where possible.

  • Please let us know in advance if your dog is anxious, reactive, elderly, or has special needs, so we can tailor the session accordingly.

7. Image Usage

  • Paw and Pine Studio retains copyright ownership of all images.

  • You are granted a personal use license to share and print your photos for non-commercial purposes.

  • We may use selected images for our portfolio, website, marketing, and social media — if you’d prefer your images not be used in this way, please let us know.
