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.
Puppy Photoshoot in Wimbledon
I have been photographing dogs for a number of years but for some reason I never had a request to photograph a small puppy - until now!
This was my dream job! I could hardly contain my excitment when I first met Wendy. She was sweet and small and soft and so lovely! I probably spent as much time cuddling her as I did photographing her.
For this puppy photography session, I wanted to capture a bit of Wendy’s character and also the first days in her new home. This was a great challange for me photographically because we were contained to a small space - a room and a balcony, so it really pushed me to think creatively. After a few group shots with mum and dad, I let Wendy choose what she wanted to do and followed her around, making sure to capture moments of play, rest, intrigue and exloration. I set myself a challenge to include a few rainy shots as the weather was very autumnal on the day. I had an image in my mind of the dog looking through the window, rain droplets dripping down. I executed this shot by taking a photograph from inside the apartment looking out, and also from outside looking in. I love how moody and sentimental one of the images turned out.
I enjoyed photographing Wendy so much that I started a new photography project called Puppies. The project will exlore the life of puppies with their new families, and try to capture memories in those first few special weeks. If you live in Surrey and own a puppy, please get in touch for more information and possibility to participate. If you own a puppy and don’t live in Surrey then drop a line to book your puppy photo session!
