I’m Jen!
A wildlife and pet photographer based in the UK, working under Feline Doggeous Photography.
I was born with a disability called phocomelia, which mainly affects my right arm. It shapes how I work, but it does not limit my creativity, patience, or determination.
Photography, for me, has never been about what I can’t do - it’s about adapting, problem‑solving, and finding my own way of seeing the world.
I believe strongly that disability does not need to be hidden or softened to be professional. It simply means doing things differently. My approach is practical, thoughtful, and rooted in respect. For my subjects, for the environment, and for myself.
“The circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.”
My Work
My photography focuses on wildlife and pets, capturing honest moments, individual character, and quiet strength. Whether I’m out in the field or working with someone’s much‑loved companion, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel real, considered, and meaningful.
I work at my own pace and in my own way - adapting equipment, techniques, and setups to suit both my body and the situation. This flexibility has become one of my greatest strengths, allowing me to notice details others might miss and to stay present with the animals.
Why I Do This
Photography became something deeper after my dog, Kyza, nearly died. That moment shifted how I see time, presence, and the importance of holding onto what matters while it’s still here.
It taught me not to wait for “later” - to document life as it is, honestly and with care. That perspective now shapes all of my work, including the end‑of‑life and legacy sessions I offer, which are handled with dignity, calmness, and respect.
I now offer end‑of‑life and legacy sessions, alongside my regular work, because I understand how powerful a single photograph can be. These sessions are handled with care, dignity, and deep respect.
For Other Disabled Creatives
If you’re a disabled artist finding your own path: you don’t need permission to take up space. There is no single correct way to create. Adaptation is not weakness — it’s skill.
This is how I do things. And it works.
If my work resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you.
