"It's just him and me, so every part." That's how Freddie's owner describes fifteen years with her Westie, her work, her house, her holidays, all built around a dog who's been there since she was a teenager. At the country park, we let him do what he does best, trotting through the grass at his own pace, stopping for every sniff, entirely unbothered by anything else. There was no rushing him, and the stillness between the sniffing gave us some of the strongest images of the day.

What came out of it was a set of images that actually look like Freddie, not a hurried version of him.

The link in my bio will tell you how it works.

Ed came to his owner through Dogs Trust, an ex-racer wary of anything new, but it didn't take much time for him to trust a studio he'd never seen, provided he had his favourite blanket to lounge on. She knew exactly what she wanted before he arrived: a large, dark, moody portrait of him chilling out, and already had a wall picked out for. We worked at his pace until he settled, treats and his blanket placed just right, and got precisely that, calm, soulful, unmistakably Ed. The piece now sits above the sofa where he spends most of his days doing exactly the same thing. If you already have the image in your head, the link in my bio is where to start.

"To have something to remember Lexi by" That's what her owner told us before we even met, and it shaped the whole session. In the studio, we chased that quiet morning look Lexi gives her, calm and direct, and the cheekier bursts too. At nearly ten years old, this particular mix of mischief and softness won't look exactly the same forever. Her owner left with a larger piece for her wall and a memory box for the rest, proof she didn't let this exact version of Lexi slip past unnoticed. The link in my bio will tell you how it works.

Bonded." That's how Kiara's owner sums up eight years together, and it's obvious within minutes: not clingy, just always close, a small press of fur so he knows she's there. I don't photograph huskies often, and every time I do it's a treat, that natural poise, the quiet dignity, the cheeky silent howl between poses. Out at the country park we let her hold that composed, "out in the wild" stillness she does so well, and came away with pieces that actually look like who she is, not just another shot on a phone. This is what doing right by eight years of bond looks like on a wall. The link in my bio will tell you how it works.

"He's my boy." That's how Finn's owner described him before their session, and no other line was needed. Finn was completely relaxed out at the country park, tilting his head at every favourite word, letting us catch both the mischief and the quieter moments in between. From that session, we created two pieces of artwork for her wall, not another folder of photos to scroll past and forget. Doing right by a dog who means that much isn't indulgent. It's exactly the kind of thing worth following through on. The link in my bio will tell you how it works.

Most clients travel some distance for their Dog Portrait Experience. A same-day round trip means a morning drive, a session, and back on the road by afternoon, and it works, but you're catching your dog mid-journey rather than properly settled.

Staying over changes that. Your dog has time to settle into a new space. You're not watching the clock. And it shows in the portraits: calmer dogs, more genuine expressions, less "we just got here and the dog needs to calm down."

We've partnered with The Old Mill Holiday Cottages in Nannerch, a dog-specific retreat in the Clwydian Range, twenty-five minutes from all three of our shooting locations. If you're staying there, there's something in it for you too. Full details here:

Such a busy day, last Sunday, raising funds for Dedicated to Dachshunds with IVDD by offering photographs at the International Dachshund Day meet-up at Chester Racecourse.

I photographed a total of 56 little Dachshunds over a few hours, which felt like being back to photographing weddings; it was so full-on!

The event raised an incredible £1,355 for the charity, and I'm so happy I was able to help them raise such an amazing amount.

It was lovely to be invited to capture some images of the cute attendees at the latest Dachshund meet-up at the Rackery Farm Shop - organised by Dach of Style and Wanderin Weenies.

If you have a Dachshund and would love to support two wonderful specialist charities - Dedicated to Dachshunds with IVDD & Dachshund Rescue UK, then you can take part in my fundraising sessions here:
