Poochie Portrait Night

I survived it then! Apart from a rotweiler decided to have a munch on my arm I managed to get through the whole 'school portrait for dogs' without any major issues.

School portrait for dogs?  Yup.

You may or may not know that me and my son's dog, Mrs Woofy, are bezzie mates. We're often to be seen wandering round the moors and countryside of Darwen in all sorts of weather.

In addition to our daily (ish) walks we attend agility and obedience classes together. It keeps us both out of mischief and we have fun.

The committee at St Thomas' dog club asked me if I'd shoot a few portraits for the other club members.  There was talk of cats and rabbits as well which brought me out in a cold sweat as I had visions of all sorts of mayhem and bloodshed going on.

Luckily, all that turned up on the night was the dogs, all scrubbed up nicely for their school photos.

Here are a few of my favourites:

Mrs Woofy isn't here. She got a special photo shoot all of her own:

And my personal favourite:

Animal Magic

There has been a larger number than normal amount of people wanting their dogs photographing recently. Funny that, I've never advertised as an animal photographer but somehow all these pooches and poochettes have ended up on my doorstep.

They do say never work with children or animals but I've had the best fun in the last couple of weeks. Here are a few of my favourite shots:

I mean, seriously, how cute?  

Gorgeous Babe

This gorgeous babe turned up at the studio for a photo shoot yesterday.

 It all looks very cool and relaxed on this photo doesn't it? I can assure you it wasn't a bit like that. More like an episode of Keystone Cops if you ask me, lots of running around and crazy antics.

Laugh? I nearly bought a round!
