I get it - Your dog is everything!

If you're anything like me, your dog isn’t just a pet. They’re family. They’re your therapy.  Your reason to get out of bed in the morning.  Your little heartbeat at your feet.  The ones who make you laugh, who you turn to when you’re sad, lonely, dealing with a break-up or the loss of a loved one.

Dogs make us get out in nature when we would prefer to blob.  They encourage us to exercise and get out in life.  Teaching us to live in the moment like only a dog can!

They listen to our troubles without judgement and offer a chin on our knee and a head to pat.

They’re the one who greets you at the door like you’ve been gone for years, even if it’s only been five minutes! They instinctively know if you’ve had a bad day and come to you to comfort. 

Do you know how I know this?  Because, I get it. I’m a dog lover too.  I understand the magical powers they have to heal us, to make us laugh and to keep us engaged in life when everything seems to be wrong.

I understand what it means to celebrate birthdays with puppy cakes.  I watch with joy as my dogs unwrap their birthday gifts.   I know the joy of watching them chase waves on the beach or fall asleep snuggled into your side on a rainy day.

Holidays are not a holiday if I don’t have my dog, in fact, when I have gone on holiday without my dog, I have cut the holiday short because I missed my dog too much.  So, I know what it's like to plan your holidays with your dog in mind, to keep a stash of treats in the car, to have poo bags constantly go through the wash and to always check if a café is dog-friendly before going anywhere.

Our dogs bring us so much more than we ever expected. Loyalty, laughter, love. And in return, we want to give them the best life possible—because they deserve it.

That’s why I do what I do.  I know what your dogs mean to you.  I know how precious these memories are to you.  I’ve heard time and time again from clients who wished they knew about me before their last dog passed unexpectedly, or that they had acted sooner to photograph their dogs. 

When I photograph dogs, I’m not just taking pretty pictures. I’m capturing soul-deep love. The snuggles, your special connection, the happy tail wags, the crazy zoomies, the little quirks that make your dog your dog. These moments matter. Because, as much as we wish they could, they won’t be with us forever.

Your bond…. That never fades. And beautiful photographs—ones that truly feel like them—help keep that love alive in the most tangible way.
