Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.


Aaron Siskind

Pet's lives may be shorter than ours,

But their memories can las a lifetime

About Wes Jones Photography

My Philosophy

Pets are part of the family, and their time with us is never long enough.

My approach to pet portraiture is about preserving more than appearance. These images are created to reflect personality, presence, and the unique character of a beloved companion.

Rather than focusing only on “cute” photographs, I aim to create honest portraits that capture who they were and what they meant to the people who loved them.

My Approach

Rather than attempting to control behaviour, the work is built around observing it and responding to it in real time.

Sessions are flexible and unstructured in the best sense. Some animals are energetic and fast-moving, others are calm and still, and the photography adapts accordingly. Owners are included when appropriate, allowing the relationship between pet and family to be part of the final images.

The focus is on patience, timing, and allowing genuine behaviour to guide the composition.

My Expertise

Experience in professional pet portraiture, combined with a background in fine art photography, allows for a balance of technical control and observational timing.

Patience is central to this work, as is an understanding of animal behaviour and how to anticipate natural expression without forcing it. Composition, light, and timing are used to capture moments that feel authentic rather than staged.

The goal is to create portraits that carry emotional weight beyond the image itself, reflecting both the subject and the relationship behind it.

During this shoot, you'll have:

  • 30 minutes of shooting time, to capture several images for you to choose from
  • Action shots of your pet playing, as well as photos of you together
  • Access to forests, grass fields, as well as the river for your pet to swim in

After the shoot, you'll have:

My Story

This work became personal after the loss of our family dog, whom I photographed the day before he passed away.

That experience reshaped how I approach pet portraiture. It reinforced how quickly these moments become memory, and how important it is to preserve them with intention and care.

Since then, my focus has been on creating portraits that honour that relationship, capturing not just how an animal looks, but the life and presence they bring into a family.
