About Hairy Dog Photography

I'm Jamie Emerson (BA Hons Photography) and I specialise in contemporary, creative dog and pet photography. Based in Aberdeen, Hairy Dog covers pretty much the whole of Aberdeenshire and the Grampian region, taking in Stonehaven, Laurencekirk and Montrose to the South and as far out as Braemar and beyond to the West. My shooting style is relaxed, candid and natural, with an emphasis on fun! Do take a second to 'like' the Hairy Dog Photography Facebook page which always has the latest work, special offers and most interesting news!
Photographing dogs has been something of a hobby for many years. I still well remember the moment back in 2011, when on a dog walk, the lightbulb moment came as I took photographs of our dog Kasper hooning around the Durham countryside. Other people might like professional photos of their dogs too! I rushed home, set up the Hairy Dog website and we've gone from strength to strength ever since! Although my photographic education was in contemporary art, I soon graduated to landscape photography - this love of the countryside meant it was only a small step to start including dogs in beautiful landscapes!
You can see some of the latest photographs in The Hairy Dog Photography Gallery here. These photos are a small selection of recent work and are constantly changing!
Go To Gift Vouchers and Booking
People photography was always a part of my life too - I still take on wedding bookings as well as family portraiture but really, I'm at my most comfortable when there are a few dogs in the mix too. So I actively encourage the whole family to turn up at a Hairy Dog session - why not update the family portraits at the same time? The dog will still be the main focus of the shoot though and I do fully understand that you may not want to be in the photos (especially if you're in your daily, mud-spattered, Winter dog walking outfit!).
You just can't beat a picture of a happy dog! And that is exactly what I set out to capture, with endless enthusiasm and over ten years experience as a professional photographer. Needless to say, being out in the Aberdeenshire countryside taking beautiful photos of a dog really is my happy place - I genuinely can't think of anywhere I'd rather be or anything I'd rather be doing! You can expect a good variety of heartfelt portraits and action photos - hopefully the pictures in the Hairy Dog gallery speak for themselves...
So if you have been thinking about a family photo, why not get the dog involved and call Hairy Dog Photography on 07866127732. Of course, I'm more than happy to dedicate the whole photoshoot to just your dog too - I do understand that some of us humans aren't all that keen on being in front of a camera...
Sessions start at £120 which includes a web gallery and two 9x6" prints. These are subtly watercolour textured, archival quality photographs, sandwiched between two layers of Art Board to give a solid, mounted print - they really are rather lovely to look at. The two full size corresponding digital files are also included as a download. Gift vouchers are also available HERE. If you are thinking about booking, please take a second to cast your eye over the Hairy Dog FAQs page, thanks!
