Pooch & Pineapple Dog Photography

If you want portrait photography that truly understands dogs, you want Rowan at Pooch & Pineapple. Based in Dronfield, Rowan is a specialist in dog portraiture — a self-confessed dog nerd with a background in marketing and a full-time photography career since 2014. That unique combination means she doesn’t just take pretty pictures; she creates portraits that celebrate your dog’s personality and sit beautifully within real-world use, from cherished prints to standout pet-brand imagery. Rowan’s approach is colourful, natural and relaxed — what she calls Rowan-style. Whether you choose the studio or an on-location session, she focuses on creating an atmosphere where dogs feel comfortable and curious, not stressed. Sessions are driven by patience, playful encouragement and an eye for the small behaviours that make each animal unique: the tilt of a head, a cheeky grin, a moment of calm. These are the details that turn a photo into a portrait. Why choose Pooch & Pineapple for portrait work in Dronfield and beyond? Because Rowan blends technical skill with animal know-how. Years in marketing mean she understands visual storytelling: how colour, composition and expression combine to make images that connect. Years as a dog owner and handler mean she knows how to read body language and gain trust quickly, even with shy or excitable dogs. Working with Rowan is collaborative and low-stress. She begins with a friendly conversation about your dog’s character and what you want from the shoot, then adapts the session to suit your pet’s pace. Expect plenty of encouragement, short bursts of activity, and calm moments for soulful close-ups. The result is a gallery of images that feel like your dog — authentic, joyful and vivid. While portrait photography of animals is her core expertise, Rowan also brings this same sensitive, story-first approach to work for pet businesses when needed. If you’re looking for portraits that show personality and create an emotional connection, Pooch & Pineapple’s Dronfield studio offers a specialist, dog-first portrait experience that delivers images you’ll love for years.
