Meet the Pet Whisperer of property photography

In a city full of standout properties, this one was a rare gem! Nestled in the ever-popular Craiglee Drive - just a short stroll from both Cardiff City Centre and the vibrant Cardiff Bay - this immaculately presented three-bedroom semi managed to feel both stylish and grounded. And when we came to photograph it, we knew we had to reflect that balance of elegance and warmth.

That’s where our videographer and photographer, Scott, came in - and so did the vendors' pet dog!

The "Pet Whisperer' of property photography...

Scott has a bit of a reputation around here. We’ve started calling him the Pet Whisperer - not just because animals seem to gravitate to him, but because he has a knack for knowing when and how to include them.

Creating connections through lifestyle imagery

We often talk about creating an emotional connection in our marketing, not just showcasing the space, but selling a lifestyle. Including a beloved family pet, even in a subtle way, adds an authenticity you can’t fake. For this Craiglee Drive home, the relaxed atmosphere and the dog’s presence worked in harmony. It was clear this was a home that’s loved, lived in, cared for, and full of character.

Why it works...

We find that homes where pets feature in the photography often get more attention, and not just because they’re cute. They humanise the space and and help buyers imagine what life there could really look like. Sellers love the added bonus of having keepsake photos of their home and their pet, some of the last ones before they move on to their next chapter.
