Meet the gorgeous Roxy!

So I quickly figured I'd be binning my shot list for this shoot! Roxy was not one for sitting & posing (although I did manage to catch her off guard once for a sneaky 'sit n pose' shot! ๐Ÿ˜‰) Roxy was all about bounce...bounce & more bounce so that's how we rolled!

And that's absolutely fine because the idea of the photoshoot is to capture the essence of your pup's personality and if that's 'non-stop on the go' then that's what we get ๐Ÿ˜„.

We had a fun few hours running around...lots of running... and we were lucky to have a beautiful sunset so we finished off with a few silhouettes.

Incidentally Roxy features in my new 'Sample Album'...yes, I now have an album to add to my select product range and details will be up on my website later this week! Very excited!!

If you are thinking of a photoshoot for your pet then I'd love to hear from you.

In the meantime enjoy a snapshot of Roxy's shoot!

And I forgot ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

I can't believe that it's been two whole years since I started out on this venture and I can truly say it's been life changing.

I've taken a huge step out of my comfort zone... Every aspect of starting and running a small business has been something new to me. From Portfolio building, and putting my website together (which is always going to be a work in progress), learning how to put a social media reel together (yes, it's mind-blowing and I have a long way to go on that too! ๐Ÿคฃ) to putting myself and my work out there to be judged not only in challenges and competitions but each time I shoot for a client. It's scary and nerve-wracking at times...BUT it's the best move I've made! I have met so many fabulous people because of this and I have so much fun working with our four-legged furries ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜

There is no way I can run The Snoot by myself...so this is a good time to say a HUGE Thank You to, as I call it, 'Team Zip' (hubby Kevin, my mum, my brother & of course Zippy Whippet!) โค๏ธ

And to all of you who cheer us on...THANK YOU! Whether it's a kind word, 'like', 'follow', recommendation, review...it all means a lot!!! ๐Ÿ™

Malibu ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ

A couple of months ago Malibu's family contacted me...they were popping down to the Cotswolds for a short holiday and wanted some photos taken of Malibu...he was not very well.

We managed to sort a date out and we took some photos of Malibu with his brother Bailey and the rest of the family.

I was told that sadly, Malibu has since passed away ๐Ÿ˜”

As all pet parents know it is totally heartbreaking to lose our beloved furbabies. If you are in a similar situation I will make every effort to prioritise your pet's session.

Here are a few shots of Malibu...R.I.P little one. ๐Ÿ’›

Ooh this was a fun one...playing with all those colours!

So you may remember that a few weeks ago we headed out to a really interesting location that Kevin found but then our plans got scuppered by the Moos ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ„ I thought we may have to change location but we figured we'd give it one more try and I'm glad we did!

It was a tricky one...Trying to get Zip who is not a very big dog silhouetted up against the sky so his profile was visible was not the easiest as we were not really on high ground as such and had lots of grass and other distractions on the lower part of his body if he stood or sat. So we went for a 'paws up' shot to try get at least most of him against the sky. I did feel I took a bit of a risk with Zip being so small in the frame and possibly competing with the weird & wonderful tree for the main focus of the image but in my mind it all fell into a nice 'story' as I thought Zip looked like he could have been a branch (or twig more like!) of that tree.

It was also a bonus that all the 'drama' of the sky seemed to be just overhead. I had so much fun playing around with the colours...it can get quite addictive! ๐Ÿ˜

Anyway the final result worked & the judges liked it & this is what they said:

Just to re-cap what this is all about...I've undertaken a personal educational challenge, the follow up to Embark. Every two weeks we will be given a theme to shoot & edit, with direction from world leading pet photographers on how to achieve this. The most important & invaluable part of this for me is the feedback we get after every challenge...what we did right & what we could improve on.

And why am I doing this? Apart from the fact that it's fun (it really is!!!) whatever I learn from these courses I hope to bring that experience to my client sessions.

As I did last year I wanted to document my journey through Emerge & it's always fun to share my submissions as I go along, so hope you enjoy following my progress!

And you wouldn't want to miss Zippy's 'Butt Swirls'!

We all have those fun, quirky, unique parts of our pets that we totally love. For this challenge I found it quite difficult to decide what I wanted to go with...those soul searching/'I've not eaten in days, please feed me' amber eyes, the ears that seem to have a life of their own, the snoot which is sooo good at pick pocketing, the little wonky toe...so many to choose from.

I went with the cute butt swirls and for pretty much this reason...In most of the photos of Zip you see him front/side on and never the rear view! So this is what it looks like๐Ÿ˜œ

I added quite a bit of contrast to this image as I really wanted to bring out the pattern, the symmetry and the difference in colour. And the judges liked it...
