Colour Options in our Studio

Colour Options in our Studio

Colour options in our studio on the farm is the topic of this week’s blog circle. Our small rustic farm shed studio is the place we will go towards the end of your dog’s farm photography experience should you wish to mix it up a little and have some studio portraits of your dog to hang on your walls at home. The beauty of having this option is being able to offer a different look to the natural beauty of the outdoors on our farm. You may have a room in your home with a cosier feel where studio portraits would look fabulous.

The Planning Consultation

The farm photography experience includes a 20 minute planning consultation over Zoom in the week prior to your session. This is where we discuss the big day, the weather forecast, what to wear and what outcomes you are looking for with regards to artwork. I then plan the session around these outcomes. We also chat about having some time in the studio for your dog, and what colours you are drawn to most to suit your dog’s colouring and your home decor.

I recently acquired the most amazing vintage Chesterfield leather lounge. It is deep reddish brown and looks absolutely divine with a dog or two on it. This enables a dark, earthy and moody look with rich colour and texture, and makes your dog look like a rockstar!

The Current Options

We are building a dedicated studio on our farm this year which will have a number of options for colour and texture in the backdrop. For now we still have quite a variety to choose from. We can offer an earthy look with our toffee coloured backdrop, a rustic corrugated iron backdrop, a rich dark muslin, or a brighter colourful look with our teal backdrop.

Chair options include our amazing vintage lounge, a bright yellow ottoman, a luxurious beige, lap-dog perfect chair, and a comfy multi coloured larger ottoman ideal for bigger dogs.

If you are after a totally rustic farm look, I can pick up a bail of hay to add to the scene.

We can change the look up throughout the session by adding a colourful throw blanket, or faux fur.

Check out some of the options below. We will set the studio up with the look you want prior to your session.
