Surrey Dog Photographer | Couple and Dog Photo Session in Epsom
Dog and Couple Photo Session in Surrey - capturing joy
I recently had the absolute pleasure of photographing the sweetest couple and their ridiculously lovable cockapoo. From the moment we met, tit was clear that we were on the same page - enjoying easy laughter, playful banter, and that joyful chaos only a happy pup can bring. This session instantly became one of my all-time favourites.
At Home Dog Photo Session
The couple wanted to have the photo session at home, to have some privacy as well as old memories incorporated into the shoot. We started the season sitting on the grass and giving the pooch some love. I love setting the scene this way, because people have something to focus on, and instantly forget that I am there taking pictures. This lovable cockapoo enjoyed being cuddled so much, she was happy to sit still and receive as many cuddles as were coming her way. I then moved on to a few portraits of the dog, one of her sitting on the patio and one of her framed by the owners, giving a different feel to the photograph.
Creative Dog Photography
The second half of the session ended up being quite creative - trying things that might look really cool - or really rubbish. One of my favourite shots from this session was taken in during this time. I had an idea to take a bird’s eye view shot of the three of them (see the photo above). I found a convenient place to perch on, and asked everyone to move in what looked like a compositionally pleasing frame. It was then a game of get-the- dog’s-attention-without-the-dog-moving which took a few tries but finally managed to get the shot. It was well worth the effort, I absolutely love this shot and I hope you do too.
Action Photography to Capture Movement
Another photo I absolutely love from this session is the photo below of Ella running enthusiastically towards me, and the couple kissing in the background. This was the couple’s idea, they wanted a bit of a laugh and it absolutely worked. The photo portrays absolute joy - ears flapping, eyes wide open, tongue showing, tail up in the air! Such a happy memory!
