About ten days ago our little mate, who isn't so little any more, went back to live with his owner in his new home. I was out taking photos when he was collected, which is probably a good thing 'cause I hate goodbyes and tears may have been shed. I promised in the...

Way back in November I left my house to drive to a session that was to be unlike any I've ever done before, or since. In her owners words: "Lexi is 11 and blind in both eyes. One eye is small, white, hard and sunken back into her head, the other is discoloured and has...

Back in October I got a very desperate sounding email asking if I could fit in a session as soon as possible with Sooty the fourteen year old Kelpie mix. I thought the worst, but was relieved to find out that it was because one of her people was heading overseas for a...

Like I posted on my Facebook page after Thelma's session ... people that book me because they're having a destination wedding and they want their dog to be included in the slideshow played at it, are definitely my kind of people! Meet Thelma. It was approximately a...

You know what I noticed recently? I don't photograph nearly enough Boxers. And then along came Chloe and all was right in my world again. We didn't have dogs when I was growing up (actually we had one but I was very young when he "ran away") but my Mum has always had...

One thing you often see Husky owners say is that they're like potato chips ... you can't have just one. When I met Karen I told her it was nice to meet someone else with four dogs – it makes me feel almost normal. Due to age and health issues and various levels of...

Behold the lovely clean and dry Sasha. Did you behold? Because you won't be seeing her again for the rest of this blog post! Before letting her off lead I asked if she was likely to run into the water, because I planned to get some dry dog photos first. Her owner...

For some reason, when I received a Shoestring Session booking for Karma the 12 year old rescue Staffy mix, I painted a mental picture of a decrepit little old dear. As the owner of an almost 10 year old Staffy who is still mental as anything I should have known that...
