Clara Allansson Photography

Creating award-winning dog portraits for you to treasure forever, across Hampshire, West Sussex and Surrey

Clara Allansson Dog Photography puts you and your dog first, bringing you along for an experience that you’ll remember every time you look at your artwork. Your dog will be photographed doing what they love most, exploring the outdoors with you, resulting in beautifully vibrant portraits captured in a woodland setting chosen by you, in or around Hampshire, West Sussex or Surrey.

My photography experiences get the best out of all dogs to create timeless printed artwork you’ll want to display at home. Perhaps you have a dog who is a ball of energy, or a timid dog who needs their own space, or you might have a dog who needs to stay on lead? Whatever your dog’s personality, I’ll work with you to let their best selves shine in front of my lens.

Put your trust in a photographer who has an eye for detail and delivers a truly unique experience. Tell me more about your dog and find out how you can have something special created by filling out the contact form, or send me an email. I look forward to capturing some special memories for you!

“Ever since I came across Clara's photography page on Instagram, I knew that I wanted her to photograph my miniature goldendoodle, Wilbur, and I. Her work is incredible! The process from booking, to having the photography session, to ordering products, was smooth. Clara was professional and friendly throughout and very responsive to any queries I had. The photography session was really enjoyable and Wilbur loved going for a different walkies and being given lots of treats! Clara recommend the location based on me requesting for photos with yellow flowers. I am so pleased that I travelled a little further to this location as there was such a variety of backdrops. The quality of the photos and products were outstanding. I loved the personal touches to my order, including the engraved USB for the digital image files and dog treats for Wilbur. I would highly recommend Clara to anybody who is looking for a photographer to capture the special bond between you and your dog. I will definitely cherish these photos forever.”

Wilbur’s owner
“From the moment she replied I knew we were in safe hands. I was nervous about having a photo shoot with a (big puppy) but she made me feel so at ease and so accommodating. The shoot it's self was very relaxing, we went for a walk and every so often stopped. From picking the location to receiving the final products Clara has been fantastic. My husband thought I was a bit crazy having a photo shoot with our dog but in his words 'I know the photos were going to be good, but I didn't expect them to be THIS GOOD!' We are honestly over the moon with Claras work and can't wait to have another shoot in a couple of years.”

Ronnie’s owners
“What an experience this was, from the very moment we contacted Clara, right throught to receiving the fantastic photos she produced. This is something you have to experience because it was such an enjoyable journey and the finished product just oozes professionalism. We all love the dogs we have and to capture ours in such beautiful surroundings in crystal clear photos will give us lasting memories for many years to come. One other aspect of this photographic experience I have to mention is every detail from start to finish has been carefully thought through. The quality of everything is first class, even down to an engraved memory stick given with the selected photos. Clara will go far with her photographic and presentation skill set and I recommend not delaying in using her, it really was a wonderful experience.”

Alfy & Peggy’s owners
"We had a brilliant experience with Clara! Our dog Luna is very nervous around new people and always full of energy, so we were worried about how she would behave during a photoshoot… but Clara was absolutely fantastic and made the whole process enjoyable for us and Luna! Clara recommended a lovely secluded spot so Luna could relax, and was so patient and kind. Clara must be a dog whisperer as she had Luna loving it in no time… for Luna, it was just a fun dog walk with lots of treats and attention! The photos were amazing - Clara really captured Luna’s personality. The printed artwork was really high quality and we can’t wait to display it in our home! Thank you Clara!"

Luna’s owners

Raska & Ace’s owners
Words cannot describe how grateful I am to Clara for my breath taking photos of my fur boys. I am beyond amazed and at the level of work she's created and produced, they are memories we've captured for years to come. I promise you will be so pleased you booked with Clara, everything run smoothly and efficiently from shoot booking to collecting. Hugely recommend and I wouldn't look anywhere else. Thankyou again.

Who is Clara Allansson? Find out here!

I waited 23 years to meet my best friend Echo, a whippet, but my love for animals - particularly dogs and horses - goes way back to my childhood. I spent a lot of my days taking care of my own horses and finding any excuse to spend time with family members’ dogs. I couldn’t have my own dog until I moved into my own home, but he was more than worth the long wait.

Echo has opened up my world to so many wonderful dog-centered activities as we have done so many things together: showing, obedience, lure coursing, swimming… way more than I can list here. In fact, I’ve been showing my own dogs at championship dog shows, including Crufts, for 10 years now and have been a dog show judge for 5.

I now have two whippets as Tee joined our family in 2018 as I really wanted to give Echo a little brother, but Tee now towers over him! It’s not possible to imagine my life without my dogs - Tee especially wouldn’t ever let me, as he follows me absolutely everywhere! It’s safe to say that nowadays my life is completely filled with dogs, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Echo and Tee have shown me the importance of capturing the moments you share with your dogs and freezing them in time. My photography aims to showcase the individuality of each and every dog, as well as the unique bond you share with them. Some of my most treasured images are those of me with my boys, so I want to provide you with your own special pieces that you can hang up and smile at each time you look at them.

I’m so proud of my journey to becoming a dog photographer, and I’m extremely excited about what the future holds. My images first caught people’s eye on social media and people began to ask if I could photograph their dogs just like I captured Echo and Tee. Only a few years later, I am now a qualified Licentiate with the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP) and the Master Photographers Association (MPA) and have won multiple awards with some of the most prestigious photography organisations in the UK.
