I booked a session with John Jenkins Photography for photos of me and my two Golden Retrievers, Kasper and Stanley. The whole experience felt relaxed and genuinely enjoyable. There was no pressure, no rushing, just a lovely atmosphere that made it easy to just be ourselves.
What really stood out was how brilliant John was with the dogs. Kasper and Stanley aren't exactly known for doing as they're told, but John was patient, playful, and clearly knew how to get the best out of them. The photos captured both dogs' personalities beautifully, and some of the shots of the three of us together are exactly what I'd hoped for.
If you're thinking about booking a pet photography session, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John Jenkins Photography. Truly lovely work.

Wow is all i can say. We won a dog photography shoot and framed photo with John this month. We've been back to see the images and we had no words!!! From the start John was incredibly friendly, and welcoming. Our autistic daughter (who's very unpredictable) loved the shoot and when she had had enough, she had breaks, and John focused on our dog whose photos are beyond what I imagined they'd be. We have purchased all the images (with absolutely no pressure from John, who was adamant there is no expectation to purchase from the beginning). But to lose them would be a tragedy. The photos will be treasured forever and we can't wait to have them on display in our home/in an album. And we're pretty sure they'll be in our families homes too once they see them! đ thank you so much đ

We were lucky enough to win a photo shoot we had entered on john Jenkins Facebook page. Right from the first contact we knew this was going to be good. Everything was explained to us and as we were bringing our little beagle they also told us what to expect with him. The photo shoot was fantastic and little Chester (our Beagle) warmed to John straight away. I can honestly say I never thought Chester would be so good and relaxed in a situation he has never been in. We went for our viewing and I could have cried at all the lovely photos he had taken. When we have our family photos done we will definitely use John as he is such a nice professional person. I cannot recommend John highly enough and thank him for capturing Chesterâs true character.

I was a lucky winner of winning a photoshot and a free framed picture. John was very welcoming from the start, very helpful, open to ideas, great with my furbabies and great with the camera. John made the photoshot easy and stress free. Before leaving john handed me a price list and the things they did. Which I thought was a great idea, as gave me time to check the prices out and what I would maybe like. A week later, I went back to see the photos and wow they were amazing. Jon took the time to go through every photo, allowing me to state which ones I liked and which ones I would like to compare to one another. After the photos, john went through the prices and asked if I would like to purchase any. I did not feel pressured to buy any. I would definitely use and recommend.

We booked John for a dog portrait/couples shoot. John provided an overview price list up front with a follow up one for the detailed choices available. John was welcoming and professional throughout and patient in setting up the shots with our border collie. We came back about a week later to look at the shots and loved them all. Loads of choice in sizes, finishes and styles. We opted for the digital package containing all the shots taken on the day (both colour and b&w) so that we could make calendars & mugs etc for family. These were high resolution so no detail lost.
Great photos, friendly and professional service. Highly recommend.
Session type: Couples plus pet portrait

I honestly enjoyed my experience. John was friendly, professional and absolutely amazing with my kids. He captured some amazing memories. which to mention isnt easy with one child being 7 months old and the other having austim. He was calm, patient and just made the whole experience easy. I can not express my appreciation to John. To actually have photos with both me and my partner smiling is very rare but he was able to capture this. I have gone back today to view the pictures I honestly found it very hard to pick. His work is amazing and its left me feeling emotional in a good way. His prices are reasonable and affordable. One very happy mummy here. definitely a family friendly place. i would highly recommend john and I will definitely be returning in the near future.

I won a photoshoot with John Jenkins Photography a few weeks ago and the whole process has been such a lovely experience. We were booked in quickly (and they were very understanding when I had to rearrange a few days before due to car troubles). During the photoshoot John was very patient with my cocker spaniel, and managed to get some wonderful pictures even though he barely seemed to sit still! He put us all, including my 5 year old son, at ease and made us feel very comfortable, and this definitely shows in the photos. The photos are amazing and I couldn't be more pleased with them (as well as the value for money!). I will definitely be revisiting in the future for more family pictures, we are very grateful!

We had a fantastic experience with John at John Jenkins Photography. From start to finish, he made the whole photoshoot feel relaxed, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. John was brilliant with our puppy, Nala, showing plenty of patience and understanding, which made a huge difference and put us all at ease.
What we appreciated most was his approach - there was absolutely no pressure or sales push, which we respected and valued highly. The focus was clearly on capturing great moments and making the experience a positive one. We would very much recommend John to anyone looking for a professional, friendly photographer who truly cares about their clients.

John has a lovely studio in Lutterworth with plenty of parking nearby (and next door to the Real Ale Classroom in case you're early for your appointment!). There are stairs so maybe tricky for people with limited mobility. He immediately put us and the dogs at ease. He clearly is used to working with dogs as he had lots of tricks to get them to settle and focus on the camera. We are delighted with our photos as he has really captured the different personalities of our two boys and as fox red labradors, they look amazing against the black background. Definitely recommend John for a photo shoot.

Had a family plus dog photoshoot here Jan 2020, and had an amazing time. Very professional and he knew exactly how to get the best out of us and the dog.
Perfect gift for a family, wedding anniversary, or big occasion.
It's not cheap, but honestly very happy with the cost for the quality of photos received.
The photographer even edited out a spot on the best pics, little extras like that are great.
Highly reccomend this to anyone looking for a proper family momento, and a fun memorable time. Don't expect to have any change from ÂŁ500 - but this is on the lower end of professional fees. Worth it!

I recently entered a competition on Facebook and couldnât believe to win a family photo shoot at John Jenkins Photography in Lutterworth.( I never win anything before !)
It was fantastic chance to get a good shot of us all with our new family member ( recess thinking about it from a while )John was amazing- he kept everyone relaxed as my older kids was bit stressed about taking pictures .He asked if we had any particular requests and of course respected all of them. He couldn't have been more great around our 3 months son which was little difficult to take a photos off . We all had a fun afternoon. When we went back to see our pictures and we couldnât make a choice as all of them was just brilliant. Kids was looked so happy and relaxed .Im very proud to say we got gorgeous family portrait for the front room wall .
I would highly recommend John Jenkins Photography to anyone - we will certainly go back for sure soon !

I had a fantastic experience with John during our family photoshoot. He was so welcoming, lovely, and funny, which made us all feel at ease straight away. John went above and beyond to capture amazing moments and had so many clever tricks to keep children and dogs entertained and looking great for the photos. He had my niece laughing non-stop, and it really showed in the incredible quality of the photos. Johnâs warmth and sense of humour helped create beautiful, natural moments that we will treasure for a lifetime. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a relaxed, enjoyable shoot with stunning results. Thank you, John!

Wow, what can I say? Never done a photo shoot before and was nervous to start with. My 2 schnauzers behaved really really well and the 4 month old was a pro by the end of it. The boys were excited and I was so proud of them. I had a rush from the experience and just wanted to phone everyone and tell them what a wonderful time we had.
John was fabulous, easy to follow to get the photos we were both happy with.
Going back to view was yet another experience, shock, I didn't recognise myself in the first photo đ They were all beautiful and a difficult time followed trying to pick out my favourites. I'd recommend the experience to anyone.

Had the most wonderful afternoon recently with John for a photoshoot. I bought the family photo shoot for my mother in law for Christmas who wanted pictures of her children, family, grandkids etc together. From the day I bought it John was in contact quickly. We went through what we wanted from the shoot, how many people and it was swiftly booked in. We had an email to tell us how to make the best of our photoshoot. He was informative and made us all feel very comfortable. All of the family got the photos we wanted with plenty of time and consideration. Once we had finished our shoot we booked another appointment to go back and see our photos. John has made us a short video of our photos collaged which was a lovely touch. Some of us wanted some edits done to the photos with no problems at all. My mother in law also was given a free photo of her choice. We are really excited for the rest of our photos to arrive!! đ Would highly recommend!

A wonderful experience start to end with John Jenkins photography!
We won a competition for a photoshoot and the whole process was excellent. John and Sally were both friendly, inviting and professional throughout and the quality of the photos were so amazing we had to buy all the files!!
John expertly captured our Labradors personality and was patient and kind with him throughout when some would undoubtedly find him testing due to being high energy.
Absolutely recommend John for family or pet photoshoots. We are over the moon with services and products provided!

John and sally provided a seamless process throughout being photographed as a family - from giving us all the information to make it easy for us from parking to what to wear, to expectations on the day with children, length of time we would be there and how the end product would look! We were blown away with the service and the pictures at the end. The results have been fantastic, john really captured us as a family so well. We have been thrilled. This has been great value for money and a once in a lifetime opportunity that we have memories to cherish! .

Amazing experience! We won a competition for a dog/family photoshoot with a framed photo. When we got there, John made us feel so comfortable! The dogs were really settled around him and he made us feel at ease which helped us get the best photos. We were able to go back 3 days later to do a photo viewing. The photos came out AMAZING! He captured everything beautifully. Once we had chosen what package we wanted (which was really well priced and good discounts), it was only a week until we received all of the photos. Couldn't recommend John Jenkins Photography enough!

So my partner was lucky enough to win a photo shoot in a Facebook competition , I was a little nervous as I have a GSD and a Staffy cross and neither of them are keen on men , and the staffy is only 14 months and a bundle of energy and has trouble keeping still . I did mention this to John when we arrived but he immediately put me at ease , he was warm and friendly and the dogs seemed relaxed around him . We had a amazing photo session , it was all done in a calm and relaxed atmosphere and I even started to enjoy it , something I honestly wasnât sure I was going to do . The dogs did amazing and I was hoping to get a least one good picture . When we came back to view the pictures however I was blown away by how good not just one picture was but all of them , John had done an outstanding job in capturing all our good sides lol , I canât put into words how wonderful this whole experience was and it was all down to John and his patience and understanding.

I won a Facebook competition with John for a photoshoot for our dog with guest starring roles for me, my husband, and our daughter. What an absolutely amazing experience we had. Because it was a competition win we were sceptical as to what we could expect, but we needn't have worried. We got the WHOLE she bang! So much fun, and so many giggles as a family. We were immediately made to feel at ease and as though we were in the company of good friends. John was brilliant not only with us (my husband and I) but our preteen daughter and the ultimate star of the show, our puppy Pug Dog Stella. We could not be happier with how the shoot turned out, so much so that we couldn't decide between images and brought the whole lot! I cannot reccomend John highly enough and would not look anywhere else for all our photographic needs in the future. John and Sally, once again, if I haven't said it enough - Thank You!!! You are amazing and we will be back!!!!

I won a competition for a family shoot and free photo.
It was a wonderful experience. John is brilliant. He put 3 kids, 2 adults and 2 dogs one of which is very nervous completely at ease.
It was enjoyable and the time flew by.
Even though one of my kids was spectacularly ill mid photo-shoot without issue he re-scheduled and we went back to finish it a second time.
The photos are amazing. Moments caught in time that are of sublime quality. We opted for all the photos in digital format and a beautiful multi-aperture frame which is gorgeous.
100% recommend him and the whole experience.

I won a competition for John Jenkins photography. I had a lovely time at the photoshoot, John was really welcoming and was so good with my dog Koda. He took his time with us and changed how he did something if Koda wasn't playing ball. We then were invited to an cinematic experience where we could go through all the photos, this was really nice and John talked through it all with us. I would totally recommend John Jenkins Photography to anyone, they are such gorgeous and great quality photos and you really feel special. Thank you John.

Had a superb experience with John at his studio for a photoshoot with my dog.
From start to finish it was really relaxed and you were made to feel welcome the moment we walked in. Good to see the ideas John had at his disposal and also the ability to throw your own ideas In the mix too.
After the shoot was complete we went back a week later to see the results and the photos were stunning. We then got to go through them one by one and mark them into categories from ones we couldn't not have to ones that were ok. Side by side comparisons to choose the better of similar shots until it was narrowed down.
The option for me was not to have a single print but to have all the digital photos John took as I had too many that captured my dog brilliantly.
All in all a super experience from booking to the day and follow up.
Can't recommend enough, if you want images of yourself,pet and or family John can and will create some amazing photos for you to treasure. 10/10!
Thank you John from Dave and Dexter.

My son gave me a voucher for my birthday. We travelled from Leighton Buzzard and met the rest of our family at the studio. We received a warm welcome when we arrived and John made everyone feel at ease. He was brilliant with our two granddaughters (6 & 3) and really captured who they are. We have some amazing photos of them, the whole family (including a 5 month old puppy) along with individual photos. The whole experience was great and a lot of fun, we would definitely recommend John.

We won a dog photoshoot competition at John Jenkins Photography which we thoroughly enjoyed. We visited as a family with our 2 labradors, age 5 and 3 months. John was extremely patient and worked wonders capturing lots of fantastic photos, despite the chaos with the labradors. We felt comfortable and at ease during the photoshoot, there was no rush and we had a variety of family photos, single photos, and portraits of the dogs. We would definitely recommend.
