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.
Family Portrait Photography in London
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.
Family and Pet Photo Session at home in Wandsworth
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.

Puppy and Couple Photoshoot on Wimbledon Common | London Pet Photographer
Puppy Photography on Wimbledon Common
I love my job, but for this particular photo session, I had to pinch myself! Photographing a morkie puppy in the middle of autumn, on Wimbledon Common was totally dreamy!
Wedding Photography with a Dog
When this couple asked me to photograph their London wedding next year which will include their little bundle of fluff I immediately said yes! But who was going to wait until next May to meet this precious little girl? Pre-wedding photoshoots were certanly a thing a few years ago, which gave me an idea to use this as an excuse for a chance to photograph the puppy (and the wedding couple of course!). I really wanted to get some snuggly cuddly photos amongst the backdrop of beautiful autumnal colours and luckly everyone involved was up for it.
Autumnal Puppy Photoshoot
It was an overcast day, and we’ve arranged to meet at Wimbledon Common - the perfect setting for outdoor images. The Common provides so much variety in terms of paths, vegitation, colour, texture that I was spoilt for choice. Autumnal colours were absolutely gorgeous and the weather was palying the ball. Drying oak and beech leaves provided warmth (in terms of colour) and an opportunity to play chase leaves and play games.
Outdoor Puppy Photography
I tend to keep puppy photo sesssions to one hour, as puppies easily tire and need more rest than adult dogs. With a pocket full of treats and a positive attitude, I worked quickly to get a variety of poses and backdrops, including action shots of the puppy running, family portraits, playful shots and a few puppy portratis.
We finished shoot with a set of playful photos under a beech tree, after which it was truly a time for a puppy nap!

London Dog Photographer | Puppy and Couple Photo Session at Chiswick House and Gardens
Chiswick House and Gardens Photography
The grounds of Chiswick House and Gardens are some of the most picturesque in West London. Chiswick House, one of the most recognisable examples of neo-Palladian architecture overlooks beautiful italian-inspired landscaped gardens. The house was build between 1725 and 1738 by architect William Kent and Richard Boyle, the third Earl of Burlington who rejected the then popular Baroque style in favour of simpler, symetrical style based on classical italian architecture. The house and gardens provided the perfect London backdrop for this couple & puppy photo session.
Puppy Photography in Chiswick
This was a dream photoshoot! A lovely couple, an adorable puppy and a beautiful setting to take photographs in. The youngest member of the team was a ruby six month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, a boy named Goji (yes - like the berry!). From my past experince working with puppies, I learned that puppies tire quickly so photographing them requires a quicker pace. We started off with a few portraits of the puppy before moving on to family portraits and action shots. I moved fairly quickly from shot to shot; the only multiple takes I did were walking shots and action shots. Goji was a true champ - not only did he manage to do absolutely brilliantly throughout the whole session, but he did so with a wag in his tail.
London Dog Photographer
I work all across London and the south East photographing dogs and their owners. I manily work outdoors, where I feel I am in my element and where dogs enjoy playing, running, walking and doing all the things dogs like to do. I have worked with many clients, ranging from families with a dog, to couples with a dog, to single people wanting some photographs of them with their pet, to people only wishing to have photos of their dog. I try to make the photoshoot as fun as possbile for everyone, and I genuinly enjoy creating memories for my clients which they can look back on with fond memories in years to come.
