News, thoughts and ramblings of a pet photographer. Basically anything that doesn’t really fit into any other category.
Restarting The Photo Shoots Time for the first “post lockdown” photo shoot. April the 12th came and went, and the studio is back open. Ralph and Daisy arrived at 11 a.m. and it was time to remember how to photograph dogs. At just 15 weeks old, Ralph was an absolute superstar. He took to posing…
We’re back in the studio, and ready to go! With the easing of Covid restrictions on the 12th April, we are now ready to get back in the studio and start photographing your wonderful pets again. It’s been a long slow start to the year but we can not wait to get going. We will…

Constant media attention on Covid-19 measures and possibly more lockdowns raise those worry bars somewhat. I’m not sure that my little business would be…
Shooting Dogs In July And August We’ve been busy shooting dogs and painting the studio walls since lock down ended. Have to say, it all seems to be coming together rather nicely. Cockerpoo Puppies Things kicked off after lock-down with a two part outdoor session celebrating the six month birthday (if that is the right…
As many of you will be aware, I’ve been making some changes to the layout in the studio. Well. I am now nearly there. There is some painting to do and still a fair bit of tidying up, but we are now in a position to be able to function. In fact, the first photo…
