What's a good gift for an animal lover in Ireland?

A framed photograph of the kind of animal they love is hard to beat — prints start at €10 unframed and oak framing is €15. If you'd rather gift an experience, a €100 one-hour pet photoshoot includes a private gallery of edited images.

Can I order a photography print as a last-minute gift?

Prints are made to order, so allow a few days for printing plus An Post delivery. If it's tight, message me with the date you need it for and I'll tell you honestly whether it will land in time.

Do you offer gift vouchers?

Yes — email or ring me and I'll set up a voucher for a print or for a €100 session, and send you something you can print out or forward on. Vouchers don't expire.

How are gifts packaged?

Everything is flat-packed in protective packaging with backing board so it arrives undamaged. Nothing shows the price, and I can include a short handwritten note if you tell me what to write.

Can I have the photograph in black and white?

Yes, any photograph can be printed in black-and-white at no extra cost. Just say so in the order notes.

Does buying a print support the sanctuary?

Yes. 50% of every order is donated to Forever Home Sanctuary, the small animal sanctuary where many of these animals live, so the gift does two jobs at once.

Gift ideas by budget

Under €20

A single 5×5″ or 8×10″ print

Small, easy to post and easy to frame in an off-the-shelf frame. A good stocking filler or thank-you gift.

€10–€18

Under €40

A 12×16″ print, or an 8×10″ framed in oak

Big enough to be the gift rather than an extra. Oak framing means it can go straight on the wall.

€30–€33

Under €70

A 16×24″ statement print, or a set of three 8×10″ prints

A single large landscape over a sofa, or three smaller prints that make a hallway gallery wall.

€50–€65

In Full Stride — animal photograph by Hollzphotography, Spring meadow — gift print idea in the €100 range

€100

A one-hour pet photoshoot

An on-location session in Wicklow, Wexford, Carlow or nearby, with a private gallery of edited images sent afterwards. The nicest gift for someone whose dog or horse is family.

€100

Full price list: €10 for 5×5″, €18 for 8×10″, €30 for 12×16″ and €50 for 16×24″, with solid oak framing €15 on any size.

Pick by who it's for

For the dog lover

Collies mid-stride, labradors in the long grass, terriers refusing to sit still. Choose their breed if I have it, or ask and I'll point you to the closest match.

Dog prints

For the horse person

Piebalds, chestnuts, mares with foals and herds in the last of the evening light — including sanctuary residents.

Horse prints

For someone homesick for Ireland

Country roads, gorse, rain-washed hills and Irish coastline. A well-chosen landscape print posts abroad easily and flat.

Irish landscapes

For a new home

A set of three prints hung as a row or grid fills a bare hallway on day one. I'll help you pick sizes if you send the wall measurements.

Gallery wall sets

Gift vouchers

Not sure which photograph they'd choose? Ask for a voucher towards a print or a €100 session and let them pick. Request a voucher.

Posted gift-ready

A gift that gives twice
