a dog parenting celebration

CELEBRATING BONDS. OLD AND NEW.

September 21st - 22nd
STUDIO CASSO
Stephen House, 1B Darnley Rd, E9 6QH UK

We are excited to invite you to a special weekend of dog photography sessions, brought to you by a unique collaboration between Studio Casso, Retold Vintage, and Pawtiqe Dog Photography, in honour of Second Hand September. Celebrate with us the timeless beauty of black and white photography, the special bond between dogs and their humans, and the power of second chances.

Join us at Studio Casso for a weekend of dog-and-human photoshoots, where we’ll capture both classic studio portraits and editorial-style shots using natural light and Casso’s charming props.

As we create intimate portraits, part of the proceeds will support the wonderful work of Underdog International, helping other “preloved” dogs find their forever homes.

Celebrate the art of timeless photography and the beauty of second chances. Book your session, and let’s create something beautiful together.

testimonials

Let me just say that Elena is truly aN amazing photographer and loves furbabies. She is highly professional and so friendly. The photoshoot was fun and Elena was determined to get those perfect shots. Her passion and talent come across in her editing and finishing too! She get the best shots back to me exceptionally quickly and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. The prints are amazing and I can not wait to put them on my wall. Don't waste time and just book her as soon as you can. Your only regret will be not getting these shot done. Thank you for the beautiful photographs of Lou Lou. You captured her personality and character perfectly.

We had the most wonderful experience with Elena. From the initial call to the delivery of the stunning images it was easy to see that she wanted to ensure we got the photos we wanted. On the shoot day Elena was incredibly patient with both of us explaining clearly what the plan was and never rushing us, she took time to let Mia come to her and get comfortable. And the images are too beautiful for words, the hardest thing about the whole experience was picking only a few - I wanted them all!

Thought Elena was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Have a rescue dog who can be very nervous but Elena really took her time to allow our Póigín to relax. In the end, we got amazing results which we were delighted with. Would definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for that extra special photograph of their fur baby!

Elena is an incredibly professional and talented photographer! She was amazing with our dogs and the photos have come out really well. She clearly loves dogs as much as we do, and I am so glad we worked with her and cannot recommend her enough!

Just the most incredible photography experience from start to finish. Pawtiqe is professional but friendly and build a rapport with my dog instantly so that he felt comfortable enough to show his true cheeky self. Pawtique captured the most incredible shots of Jasper and they’re more beautiful than I could have imagined. Hanging proudly on my wall and will definitely be rebooking for future shoots too! A seamless service and stunning end product. Cannot thank you or recommend you highly enough.

Some people have talent, and some people have so much talent that it feels like they have superpowers. Elena is one such person: she managed to capture, during a pleasant morning spent walking around central London, the essence of our dog, putting together a portfolio of images that left us speechless. I can thoroughly recommend her work to any dog owner who wants to immortalise the love and beauty of their furry companions!
