Bellinter House

Few places welcome dogs with the same warmth and style as Bellinter House, the magnificent 18-century Georgian manor set on 12 acres of rolling lawns and ancient trees beside the River Boyne.

While you relax in the hotel’s Stables Courtyard rooms, you can now add a tailor-made dog photography experience with Pitter Patter Studios to your stay.

About Me

I’m Selina, a professional baby, family, and dog photographer based in Meath. Married with 3 children, I understand how quickly time flies by. I help families to pause time & create timeless portraits that beautifully capture life’s most meaningful moments. Whether it’s your newborn’s first days, a special family milestone such as a Communion or Confirmation, or the unique personality of your dog, I help my clients by turning those memories into stunning keepsakes you can hold onto forever. 

Why You Should Book a Dog Photoshoot During Your Stay at Bellinter House

There is no better time to celebrate the unique bond you have with your dog, than when you are enjoying a relaxing break with them.

Your dog isn’t just a pet — they’re your constant companion, your routine, your comfort. They are the heart of your family, and your world revolves around them. We get it.

At Pitter Patter Studios, dog photography is about more than images for a screen. It’s about creating meaningful, heirloom artwork that celebrates the bond you share with your fur baby and is designed to be displayed and treasured for years to come.

Every session is thoughtfully tailored around your vision and your dog’s temperament — their energy, their quirks, we capture their essence. Our dog photography sessions are relaxed, calm, fun, unhurried, and designed to feel easy for both of you, ensuring your dog is happy, engaged, and their unique charm shines through.

Together, we’ll create timeless portraits of your dog — and of you with them — that deserve a place on your walls, not lost in your phone’s camera roll.

Because they’re not “just a dog”.
They’re family.

Sessions – What to Expect?

You can choose between outdoor or indoor for your dog photography session. Depending on the weather, we may need to default to indoor. Sessions typically last 30 – 60 minutes.

Outdoor: Stroll the sweeping lawns, tree-lined drives and historic stone steps. We’ll use the iconic Weeping Willow, walled gardens and meadow paths as backdrops for natural, fun-filled portraits.

Indoors: We can use the Nunnery at Bellinter house or you can drive a short 6km distance to our purpose built home studio with professional lighting, props and backgrounds.

What’s Included

• Pre-shoot phone consultation or online questionnaire to discuss your dog’s personality and the style you love.

• Professional photography by Selina Donnelly, Pitter Patter Studios.

• 1- 2 weeks after the photoshoot, you can choose to have a relaxed gallery reveal over Zoom or receive a link to your gallery— whatever suits you best to see your fully edited images and choose the images you love most.

• Choice of prints, framed wall art, luxury albums and digital prints — delivered worldwide.

Packages:

If you’re mainly interested in prints and digital images, I offer three main packages, which can be viewed in more detail below, each of which offers a mixture of both.

For those who’d love something on the wall, I also offer a beautiful range of bespoke wall art — including framed prints and canvases. These can be added onto any package, or I’m very happy to create a custom wall art collection tailored to your home. You can view my range of products on my Products page.
