Family and Pet Photo Session with Teenagers in Wandsworth Common | London Family and Pet Photographer
Family Photoshoot with teenagers and puppy
I recently photographed a really sweet family with two teenagers & puppy in Wandsworth. My brief was to photograph the two teenagers and their teenage puppy, a 9 month old golden retriever called Juno, to be used as Christmas cards during the upcoming holidays.
Outdoor Family Photography
We decided to do a home-park split, starting with some relaxed outdoor photographs on Wandsworth Common and going back home for more cozy images. It was an overcast day, the light was lovely and the common was bursting with autumnal colours, giving a gorgeous warm tone to the photographs.
Dog Action Photogrpahy
We started this family and pet photoshoot with some together photos, but soon the 9 month old puppy became restless and needed to move a little. She loved chasing leaves so I thought an action shot of her jumping to catch leaves would be fun. My two helpers gathered a bunch of leaves and on coundown they threw the leaves up in the air and Juno excitedly went after them. I love the resulting image - it is full of energy and movemet, and to me symbolises the joy of autumn.
Wandsworth Common Family and Pet Photography
Since golden retrievers love water, and Wandsworth common happens to have a large pond with a beautiful little feature bridge, I decided to use it as a backdrop and take the next set of photographs there. The love between the two teens and Juno was evident, and so I wanted to capture all the cuddles and kisses which were given out in bountiful quantities.

The rustic bridge on Wandsworth common was the perfect place for a group family photo. The trees in the background provided a colourful, but plane background, and the gentle uphill raise provided a pleasing perspective. We paused here for a few moments, for me to take a few frames of the family together, and the children on their own with the puppy.
Portraits of Teenagers with Puppy
Before heading back home, I wanted to capture each teen with their beloved puppy, and also take some photos of them having fun together, running around in the field.

Finally just a few portraits of June before it was time to leave the park. By this point she was tired from all the running around, and kept relatively still for me to take a few portraits of her in the dry leaves.

It was then time to head back home, snuggle on the sofa and capture a few quiet moments. I very much enjoyed working with teenagers and their puppy, learning what their interests are and hearing about their ideas for potential photos. I thoroughly enjoyed this family and pet photo session, and I hope I meet this family again to see what they are up to in a few years time.

Surrey Dog Photographer in Buckinghamshere | Senior Dog Photo Session
A Fun Senior Dog Photo Session
In recent years, it has become increasingly popular for dog owners to wish to capture their beloved furry friends and their unique personalities through photography . Whether it's a couple with a playful puppy, a family with young children and a family dog, or an individual with a senior dog, dog photography encapsulates the love and bond we share with our canine companions.
I often get asked what type of photoshoots do I do the most. It really varies, from couples to families wanting family portraits, to weddings, christenings and parties. But a lot of my work has a thread that links it all together - dogs! This year, I photographed many individuals, couples and families with dogs, and have met some incredible people (and dogs) along the way.
Pet Photography Gift Vouchers make amazing gifts for dog owners and loved ones
One of the amazing jobs I had this autumn, was photographing these two lovely ladies. My client received a dog photography gift voucher from her best friend for a dog photo session, to capture the deep bond Polo the white german shephard and her owner shared. Polo is approaching her teens so it was the perfect time to have a senior dog photo session.
Outdoor dog & owner photoshoot
We met at home for a few casual shots in the garden, and have arrange to then move to Black Park Country Park, a Buckinghamshire Country Park on the outskirts of Slough. It was an overcast day, with the promise of sun breaking through. Polo was a superstar - up for pretty much anything I threw her way - from running to sitting in the brecon to climbing on logs. I tried to experiment a little bit with posing her as her white coat made such a beautiful contrast against the woodland backdrop.
I was also really keen to photograph Polo and her owner together, and really show the strong loving bond the two share together. Below is a collection of photogrtaphs from the session, I hope you like these as much as I do!

Dog Photography in Weybridge, Surrey
This couple received one of my pet photography gift vouchers as a going away present from work colleagues. The couple wanted to have some photos of their three dogs in their home before relocating to a different country.
The dogs were all different breeds and looked like a gang of friends from Lady and the Tramp, so I wanted to photograph them both as a group and individually. I also wanted to capture them with their owners.
When photographing multiple dogs, it is worth considering how one could frame prints so I positioned each individual dog for their portrait shot in the same place. That way, if the owner wants to frame their portraits, there will be consistency between different shots.
My favourite photo from this dog photo shoot is of all the dogs running towards the camera. I love the expressions on their faces, each of them revealing a little bit of the dog’s personality.
If you are looking for a dog related present for a colleague, friend or family member, perhaps you would like to consider purchasing one of my one hour or two hour pet photography gift vouchers. The vouchers are valid for one year from the date of purchase and they make a really unique present. Visit my gift vouchers page or get in touch for more info.
