Chloe


This is the adorable Chloe!
A lovely (although shy at first) semi long-haired cat owned by Sarah. After about 20 minutes Chloe settled down to show us what a star she really she was, and we took some lovely images. I loved Chloe's "bling" collar and perfectly pink nose!
Hope to see you again Chloe and Sarah :)

Madison




This is Madison - a happy dog with huge personality and so well trained!

We had a great photo session and it was a pleasure to meet Courtney and Aaron her owners, who, like Madison, are originally from the USA.

Hope to catch up with you all some time.

Floyd


Floyd is a retridoodle... which (I think) is a mix of golden retriever and standard poodle . A large fluffy/woolly boy - who had just had a shampoo and blow wave. He was so cute and had the most soulful brown eyes... Full of personality, Floyd is destined to be a star and was a great subject!

Molly



Lovely Molly the Giant Schnauzer. Beautifully groomed and well behaved she took to the stage like a star.

Giant Schnauzers are originally from Germany, have many good qualities and are nice natured dogs.

I had not been quite so close to a schnauzer before and totally enjoyed our photo session.

Marlo


Images from Marlo's photo shoot. Very playful and lots of fun and so pretty ( for a boy!)
A caramel and cream spaniel mixed with a wee bit of poodle - Marlo had a delightful personality and was a pleasure to photograph.

Max




Lots of images from Max's photo session. We had a fun time running/hobbling around his home - even with my leg fresh out of surgery. (Please don't report me to my surgeon!) I did manage to lie down on the floor for most of them. Animals prefer, I think, to be photographed in their own home environment. Max, semi long-haired is a bit of a "battle-cat" and easily jumps 1.5 metres straight upwards and is able to catch neck straps on cameras! We know why he "left the nest" early... his mother turfed him out into a pig pen - probably because he was huge trouble as a kitten. Just a "stroppy teenager" in cat years - and he has the most divine whiskers:)

Chester


Some of the images from Chester the dalmation's photo shoot.
We had a lot of fun and Chester was a perfect subject - it's amazing what a small bribe of food will do :)
Pet photography is usually quite hard work - and getting to know the animal subject, before the session, is well worth the time taken

Harry's Pet Portrait ~ Photo Session



Harry is a one year old Chinchilla (and not the rodent type of Chinchilla!)

Chinchillas are a variety of Persian cat with long hair. Harry has white fur and each strand is tipped with black - which makes their coat look quite translucent. They have a placid personality and Harry is very affectionate but also a bit of a mischief maker ! Harry has the typical emerald green eyes of the breed which look as though each eye has eyeliner applied. They are fairly high maintenance though, due to their thick coat - but they are rather gorgeous!


The photo shoot went very well - although he was a bit of a blinker - so most of the shots are taken without fill flash.
