Laura just captures moments that are truly priceless
I could say it a 1000 times over but @laurafiddaman creates the most wonderful photos of art. I despise being in front of a camera lens but somehow Laura just captures moments that are truly priceless and without feeling any pressure to be ‘picture perfect’.
To have these memories are so precious and I cannot thank Laura enough for her time, patience & understanding.

How I can help you
I understand it’s a big deal investing in someone to capture the magic between you and your horses or dogs.
Since 2016 I’ve spent many an hour with my clients, getting to know their beloved animals & them, so that I can create images they are proud to hang on their walls. You’re here with me, so I know you’re ready – let me give you a bit of an overview of how this will work!
Book your bespoke photography session. We can schedule a pre-shoot consultation at any time before your photoshoot, but as soon as your payment is made please feel free to contact me if you have any questions! Your welcome pack, goodies and full support from me is on it’s way!
Your photoshoot day! We will stay in contact in the couple of weeks leading up to your session, where I will help you ensure you’re ready for the day. We’ll scout some locations before we introduce any animals into the equation, and the main aim is to keep everyone happy 🙂
You’ll receive a sneak peek when your images go into edit, and your initial gallery will be with you within 28 days for review. You’ll have the opportunity to invest in additional wall art, albums, and frames through my secure online gallery. Product delivery times vary from 14 – 28 days.
My approach
ANIMAL CENTRIC
Your animals always come first
NO TIME LIMITS
Times are more of a guideline than a rule
ON LOCATION
I’ll come to you, so choose a location your animals are familiar with to ensure the best images

FAQ’s
What if my horse is naughty? Or won't stand still?
What if my horse doesn't get it?
I get this question probably the most often. Honestly - I've never had a horse we couldn't work with, even the ones where my client has warned me to expect trouble! I've found that mostly, horses like to make you out to look like fibbers, so please don't worry. Fidgety horses can move around as we go & I'll have my trigger finger ready once I've explained where you need to be! As long as you can interact naturally with your horse, I'll do the rest. Simples - I promise!
What if the forecast is rubbish on the day of my session?
Fear not, I'm a professional weather watcher!
I keep an eye on the weather in the 2 weeks prior to your photoshoot, but generally won't make any drastic decisions until 48 or 24 hours beforehand. I do keep backup dates in my calendar, so if it really is going to pour or your location is bogged down already, we will reschedule your session for another date.
What do I wear though? I don't know where to start...
So many options!
You'll receive a handy guide in your welcome pack which has a few ideas on what you might like to wear for your photoshoot. The main things to consider are the time of year, and what you want from your images. I wouldn't recommend wearing anything that you're not comfortable in as it will show through in the photos! We are always our own biggest critics, so be comfy and enjoy the experience. It'll make all the difference when you receive your gallery! Pinterest is also a fab source of inspiration.
