Clara Allansson Photography
Creating award-winning dog portraits you’ll treasure forever, across Hampshire, West Sussex and Surrey
Clara Allansson Dog Photography puts you and your dog first, guiding you through an experience 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 of your choice, in or around Hampshire, West Sussex or Surrey.
My photography sessions bring out the best in every dog to create timeless printed artwork you’ll be proud to display at home. Perhaps you have a dog who is a ball of energy, a timid dog who needs their own space, or you might have a dog who needs to stay on lead? I’ll work patiently and attentively to help their true personality shine in front of the camera.
As a Licentiate of the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP) and one of the Guild of Photographers’ Top 10 Pet Photographers of the Year, I bring a level of expertise and dedication that ensures your session delivers truly outstanding results.
Put your trust in a photographer with an eye for detail who delivers a genuinely unique experience. Tell me about your dog and discover how we can create something truly special together by filling out the contact form or sending me an email. I look forward to capturing some wonderful 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! 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

"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!"

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to Clara for my breath taking photos of my fur boys.

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 outside Portsmouth, Hampshire, 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 three whippets as Tee joined our family in 2018 and Zest in 2023. It’s not possible to imagine my life without my dogs - Zest 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, Tee and Zest 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 proud of my journey to becoming a dog photographer and excited for what the future holds. My images first caught people’s attention on social media, and soon I began photographing dogs for clients across Hampshire, West Sussex, and Surrey. Now, I am a qualified Licentiate with the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP), with multiple awards from the UK’s leading photography organisations.
