Multi Award-Winning Fine Art Pet Photographer rooted in Cumbria

Creating emotive photographic artwork of dogs, horses and other pets: serving Carlisle, Northern Cumbria & the Lake District

I'm Frankie, a dog and horse photographer based in Cumbria, near Carlisle and the Lake District, who also photographs people and their pets.

My work has taken me across Asia and Africa, but there's nowhere I'd rather be than here near the Lake District and Hadrian’s Wall, photographing the animals I love against the landscapes that make this place so special. I work with natural light and in studio, plenty of patience, and a genuine love for what I do.

But the part I care about most? Making sure every session feels right for you and your animal. Whether they're shy, full of beans, or somewhere in between, we'll take our time and find those real moments together - the ones that remind you exactly why you fell in love with them in the first place.

“We can't recommend Frankie enough. She was very professional but at the same time made us feel at ease during the whole process, making sure we were comfortable and respecting our dog's needs and quirks.
The final pictures were amazing and so glad we did it.”
