London Dog Photographer in Bushy Park
This was a fun session, photographing three Black labs. Well…Two Black labs and a lab-hungarian viszla cross. I photographed one of the labs a few years ago when she was only a puppy so it was really nice to be reunited and photograph this lovely lady enjoying Bushy park with her friends.
Autumnal Dog Photo Session
It was a sunny autumnal day, the sun was out but not too harsh and the dogs were happy, energetic and loving the camera! Autumn is a really nice season to be taking dog photographs. Days are still not too cold, the colours are gorgeous, the sun is lower in the sky so there is less glare and occasionally, if you are really lucky, there is mist and fog which add to the atmosphere. It is one on my favourite times to have dog photoshoots.
Photographing Multiple Dogs
I really enjoyed getting to know this little band and seeing their characters come through - the sensible one, the energetic one and the cheeky one - can you spot them all? Below are some of the photos from the shoot, I hope you love them as much as I do!

Jango the Spanish Water Dog at Warwick
The day after Jango's appearance at the Crufts, we went to Warwick to take some more candid shots for Jango's Facebook page and promotional material. It was a lovely warm spring day, Warwick provided some beautiful backdrops for our photo session, and Jango enjoyed having his photo taken and being admired by passers-by. I thoroughly enojoyed this photo shoot and I wish Jango every success in his future show career! For more images from the day, please click on the link below.

Meet Gordon. He is a staffie who was found abandoned and scared on the streets of London. After nobody came in to reclaim him from a council pound, he was taken in by the Mayhew Animal Home. The staff at the centre noticed that he didn't hear them entering his kennel in the morning and after a series of test it was determined that Gordon is completely deaf. Staffies struggle to find a home even if perfectly healthy so Gordon's deafness was another setback in the adoption process. However, the staff at the Mayhew were determined to give him a second chance and they started teaching him sign language, and urging him to use other senses to compensate for his lack of hearing, giving him new tools to communicate with people. He responded really well to training, and soon learned a few commands like sit, stand and stay, and started bonding more easily with people. After 9 months, the wait was finally over - a couple came in to see Gordon and they instantly fell in love with him! Gordon now lives with Josanne and Richard (and a rabbit called Munch), who continue to teach him sign language and train him at Rachel Worley's Reality dog training classes. I photographed Gordon just before New Year, after he won the first prize for best trick at Rachel's Christmas class (he barks when he sees an appropriate sign). It was the first time I ever encountered a deaf dog and I was touched by the special bond Gordon and his owners share. I was also amazed by how many different commands he knew, and how in tune he was with Josanna and Richard. Our photoshoot included a session at home to capture some cozy home moments, and a session outdoors where Gordon enjoyed running around and showcasing his many tricks. This is such a heart warming story, which I hope inspires others to follow Josanne and Richard's steps in adopting a needier dog. You can read more on Gordon's story by following his blog, or reading articles that were published in Brent & Kilburn Times and the Mirror.
