01 The photo walk

What is a photo walk?

Hi, I'm Barbara, a professional photographer of dogs and their owners. My style is natural and minimalist: lifestyle photos full of spontaneous moments. You receive a carefully curated gallery with portraits of you and your dog, details that tell the story, the nature of Gelderland in the colours of the season, and a selection in black and white. A photo walk in and around Nijmegen costs from €250.

A photo walk lasts up to 2 hours, entirely tailored to your wishes and to your dog. We get to know each other as we walk. Maybe you'll play, cuddle, do a few tricks, or simply enjoy the quiet around you. No two photo walks are the same, because every pair has its own story. You don't need to pose: I capture what happens and guide you to the spots with the most beautiful light. We go at your dog's pace and take into account what he or she enjoys.

Prefer a fully guided, posed shoot? That's possible too. Send me your wishlist and a moodboard with the images you'd like to create. We talk about those wishes and expectations beforehand in an introductory call, which is included in the photoshoot. I'll also give you advice on what to wear.

Why a photoshoot in Nijmegen?

Nijmegen is a beautiful, historic city, surrounded by nature that lends itself perfectly to photography. Big, old trees let the light fall softly, and the wide-open Mookerheide brings a completely different atmosphere and sense of space. There are plenty of off-lead areas where your dog can run and play freely, and if you'd rather walk, the hills of Berg en Dal are the place to go, where we make storytelling photos on a real hike.

    Send me your preferred date(s)

    Get in touch with one or more dates that suit you, and I'll see what fits in my calendar. We talk about your wishes: in an introductory call we discuss your wishlist, your expectations, the location and what to wear. This call is included. Then I confirm the date: with a deposit of €50 (deducted from the total) your photo walk is definitely in the calendar.

    We go on the photo walk

    Up to 2 hours, no minimum, at your pace. 1 to 2 days after the walk you receive an online gallery to choose your favourite photos from. Extra photos can be ordered: €10 per photo, 10 photos for €70 or 20 photos for €130.

  3. Black-and-white photo of a woman with her eyes closed, hugging her labradoodle.
    Step 3

    Within 3 to 4 weeks you receive an online gallery

    I choose half of the photos myself, so that together they tell a story, and you choose the other half. Rather leave it all to me? That's possible too.

03 Where we walk

Locations in and around Nijmegen

No preference? Then I'll choose the location based on the atmosphere you like. These are places where I often photograph:

  • The Groesbeekse Bossen: big, spacious trees and lots of room.
  • Berg en Dal: fancy a real walk? Hiking is one of my hobbies :)
  • Mookerheide
  • The centre or a park in Nijmegen: that's possible too, if you'd rather have your photos taken close to home.

Travel costs are included in the forests around Nijmegen. For other locations, we agree on them in advance.

05 Questions

Frequently asked questions

What does a dog photographer in Nijmegen cost?

A photo walk with Foto Barbara in Nijmegen costs €250 for 1 person and up to 2 dogs, €300 for up to 2 people and 4 dogs, and €350 for up to 3 people and 4 dogs. That includes 30 to 50 edited photos, an introductory call and travel costs in the forests around Nijmegen.

Where in Nijmegen can we have the photoshoot?

Usually in the Groesbeekse Bossen, at Berg en Dal, or in the centre or a park in Nijmegen. If there's a place you and your dog know well, we'll go there.

Can my dog be off the lead during the photo walk?

That depends on the area. Around Nijmegen there are off-lead areas where your dog can run freely, and areas where dogs must stay on the lead. I choose the location together with you, based on how your dog reacts to other dogs and how reliably he or she comes back when called. If your dog stays on the lead, I'll capture beautiful, natural images just as well.

My dog is reactive or anxious. Can we still do a photoshoot?

Yes. We choose a quiet spot and a pace your dog can handle. Let me know beforehand how your dog reacts.

Are puppies and older dogs welcome?

Yes, puppies, adolescents, older, anxious and enthusiastic dogs are all welcome.

What if it rains?

In bad weather we move the photo walk to a better day free of charge. That doesn't count as your one free reschedule.

Can I reschedule or cancel the photoshoot?

You can reschedule once free of charge, up to 48 hours in advance. If you cancel, or reschedule within 48 hours, the €50 deposit is not refunded.

What should I wear?

You'll get personal clothing advice in the introductory call.
