Latest Equine Photo Shoot – Sneak Peek

Equine Photo Shoot – with social distancing rules

It has been a while – and now I am back photographing! Oh, I have missed being able to spend some quality time with my clients pets!

Initially it felt really weird but we soon all got into the swing of keeping our distance. I used to turn up at the yard or at my clients home and we had a chat over a cup of tea or coffee before taking a quick recce to earmark locations. We skipped the tea drinking and handshaking on arrival, maybe we will return to these niceties at some point.

I have been pouring over this latest set of client images and I not sure but somewhere along the line I have forgotten how to make quick decisions on which image to show my client and which one to cull. It seemed to take forever and after spending 2 1/2 hours on the actual photo shoot I have 50 beautiful and very individual images to show.

Due to Covid-19 the viewing will now take place via screen share. Before the pandemic I used to drive to my clients house and we would watch the slide show together. Just as well we are all so adaptable!

As mentioned in the subject line, this is a

Sneak Peek

of my latest socially distanced photo shoot. It can be done and I looking forward to many more, … The image I chose is in fact a classic door step photo.

Equestrian Sneak Peek

***Equestrian Sneak Peek***

The weather on the day of this recent equestrian photo shoot was very murky and overcast. This didn’t stop us from getting great images. I just selected the right backdrop after a quick walk around the yard. Every season is a good season to photograph your beloved pets. Roddy was a super star and so was his owner!

I am thrilled with the results and I am positive so will Roddy’s owner be!

Currently I am running a Christmas promotional offer (find out more here). You can contact me either by filling in the contact form or giving me a call on 07950 025 492.

Cockerpoo – Sneak Peek

In this Sneak Peek I would love to introduce you to Archie. And it is fair to say he is a very excitable young Cockerpoo!

For the whole duration of the photo shoot he was on a leash. And to be honest, that was for the best. I always say to my clients that safety comes first as I certainly would not have wanted Archie to run off mid shoot! I think my heart would have skipped some beats!

In order to take the right image as a photographer you have to see the image in your minds eye before you take it. This was the case here. When I saw the graffiti and the puddle I just knew I had to compose a portrait here. This is what I photographed (please scroll down further to see the after shot of this Cockerpoo puppy):

In the top left corner were railings that just made the image a bit messy and of course to name the elephant in the room there is the very obvious lead. So after working the image, here is the result. Do you like it?

Black Labradors – Sneak peek

Who doesn’t love a black Labrador? Imagine my joy, when I was asked to not photograph ONE but TWO black Labradors! I was doing a little celebratory dance in my office after receiving the phone call from the owners!

Molly won my Pet Photography Photo Shoot Experience at the Riverhill Himalayan Gardens Dogshow in September. She won the category I have been sponsoring for quite a few years for the dog that the judges would like to take home. I had to laugh to hear that her brother also entered a competition in the category where the dogs had to ignore treats. Well, lets just say the sausages were not ignored and he failed his task. Bless him!

Our portrait session could not have been any better! Both dogs were very well behaved on the day and they both deserve medals for their participation!

Over the next few weeks I will, with the consent of their owners, share some more images on my Instagram account. Make sure to click follow me to receive more scrumptious images of theses two.

Sneak Peek

In order to photography this gorgeous lady, I traveled to a small sleepy town in West Sussex last week when the weather was a lot better!

This lovely Welsh Springer Spaniel has the luxury of living close to fantastic fields. Every opportunity she gets, she loves to roam them with her owners.

We found this great pile of logs and I just knew I had to take some images here. My super model was looking forward to some treats and licked her lips in anticipation I think, … .
I had the camera ready just at the right time to catch this cute moment.

When going through all the portraits taken on the day to narrow down my clients choices, I always look for images that work well together. If you would only have seen one of the three images, you might discard them as your possible selection.

I use my expertise and experience to guide you to images that complement each other.

In order for you to get a better feel for what it looks like I have put a digital frame around the 3 portraits instead of leaving them on their own.

What do you think, does it work?

 

Bluebell pet photo shoot

Remember my last post with the lovely review from my client with their scrumptious puppy?  Guess what? My clients and their dog had so much fun, they came back for more!

This time we arranged a photo shoot in a nearby bluebell wood. With the puppy being a little older and therefore better trained, we were able to do some shots without the lead. The owners were at hand at all times to make sure their puppy was safe and didn’t run off.

Before and during the photo shoot I always stress with my clients, that if they feel unsure or not safe during the shoot for whatever reason that they can stop me at anytime. This is very important to me. More than anything I want my clients to enjoy the photo shoot experience and do not want them to be stressed out. If at any point I see it is getting to much for the animal or their owner I am quite happy to finish the current session and try another day.

Here is a quick Sneak Peek image of this Labrador/Cocker Spaniel mix puppy. I believe this is called a “Cockador”. Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

 

Sneak Peek in the Bluebells

I love Spring! The greens of the trees and grass are all so lush and to top it off you get rewarded with this gorgeous splash of blue colour.

Here are some images from a recent dog portrait photography shoot. Labradors are so photogenic, don’t you agree?

 

Happy National Puppy-dog Day!

What a coincidence! I was on a dog photo shoot this morning with a gorgeous 15 week old puppy when Social Media informed me that today is indeed National Puppydog Day!

My clients and I had a great time enjoying the daffodils in full bloom. Their puppy enjoyed them too!

It was lovely to see how everything was so exiting for him. This phase in their puppy lives just does not last that long and from a photographic point of view I just love giving my clients scrumptious images to look at in the years to come.

We have already put a date in the diary for the bluebell season. I can’t wait to see how much this little bundle of joy will have grown by then,…. I’ll keep you posted.

Here is the Sneak Peek from earlier today:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sneak Peek

We love capturing images that portray the love and bond shared between humans and animals.

What better way to spend a super sunny autumn day photographing wonderful clients and their beautiful horses.

We always ask for permission and we are always very grateful when our Equestrian clients agree to have a sneek peak of their Photo Shoot Experience posted online.

Golden Retriever Puppy Photo Shoot Experience – Sneak Peek

I love the precious puppy stage! They are so tiny! This stage of their life passes far too quick and you can see them grow on a daily basis. It is great to have a fantastic photographic keepsake of it. I had the most wonderful Dog Photo Shoot Experience this with very inquisitive lady who got up to all sorts in her garden.

It was a very sunny day and we had to choose the areas where the pictures were taken very carefully. We made the most of the shadows available though.

To put my clients wishes first, I always check if the owners allow me to post a Sneak Peek, which luckily they did.

Isn’t she adorable?
