Regular readers of my blog will know that one of my passions is pets, and in particular dogs.  Although I love all types of photography, dogs give me particular enjoyment, even if they are not the easiest of subjects.  They can often be very poor at taking directions and do their own thing, usually the opposite of what you want them to do!

A recent dog shoot though set me a real challenge - FIVE dogs in the same family.  Although I have shot multiple puppies before, they tend to stick together a lot so can be easier to capture, but five adult dogs presents a different challenge, especially when they range in size as these did from a rottweiler to a lancashire heeler!  However, I needn't have worried, Gemma the owner and her partner Steve know the dogs well and the dynamics of the pack and so we were able to get individual shots of all the dogs before chaos ensued with all five dogs on the loose!  Although a very cold afternoon with fading light we were still able to get some great action shots, as well as a shot with all 5 dogs with Gemma and Steve and everyone seemed to have a great time. If you're interested in a session for your pet(s) get in touch and we can discuss the different options available,  Here are just a few of the pictures from the day.  More can be found in the galleries section under pets.  The gallery for this shoot is aptly named "Canine Chaos"!  

Thanks to Gemma and Steve, and particularly the fabulous models, Murphy, Barney, Roxy, Basil and Zuki!
