Earlier this week, I received some amazing news!
I was shortlisted for Image of the Year in the Pets category for not one, but two images with The Guild of Photographers.

Blaze and Hiillos, the Finnish Lapphunds, were an absolute delight to photograph, and I’m so happy the judges love these images as much as I do.

The standard in this competition this year has been unbelievable, and I’m truly honoured to be shortlisted among such incredible talent. Making the cut again in only my second year competing feels incredibly special.

The awards gala takes place in February, and no matter the outcome, I can’t wait to celebrate this milestone, raise a glass, and share the moment with some of my favourite people.

Exciting news 🏆

I’m still riding the high from the results of the International Society of Animal Photographers (ISAP)!

Earlier this month, the live judging took place — and being able to watch it all unfold, see the scores come in, and hear the judges’ feedback was an incredible learning experience. I was nervous all day in the lead-up, as watching your own work being critiqued and broken down is definitely a nerve-wracking experience.

I’m absolutely delighted that, by the end of a long day of judging, all three of the images I submitted received a merit or higher!

Here are the results:
Curious Flower – Score: 93 – Superior

Echoes Of A Loyal Heart – Score: 86 – Excellent

Who Stole the Cream – Score: 82 – Merit

Both Curious Flower and Echoes Of A Loyal Heart went on to place in the top 10 highest-scoring images in their categories, making them finalists!

Last night, I stayed up late to watch the live awards ceremony broadcast from America, and I’m overjoyed to share that Curious Flower was awarded First Place in the “Other Domestic Animals” category!

It was such an emotional and surreal moment to see my work recognized internationally. I’m truly grateful that this image has given people a chance to see the gentle, curious side of an animal that’s so often misunderstood.

Buttons, you were such an incredible little soul, thank you for being an incredible model 🌷🐀

✨Freedom is Golden ✨

Golden hour, floppy ears, and full-speed zoomies — what more could you ask for?

Walter, my own little whirlwind of joyful chaos. He absolutely lives for tearing around our local hire field at full speed, ears flying and tail wagging. Just look at that happy little face!

I’m incredibly honoured to have received a Gold Award in Pet Portrait from The Society of Photographers for March 2025!

A huge thank you to the judges and organisers for recognising my work it truly means the world.
And of course, a special shoutout to my gorgeous model Dylan who made this portrait so impactful with his serious expression.

Kicking off 2025 with Gold!🥇

Undoubtedly one of the most magnificent neck fluffs you’ve ever encountered just look at that pre-hand-stripped, floofy goodness!

This shot of Walter taken back in 2023, was the first studio image which sparked a realization: "I’m really starting to grasp this studio work."

Toward the end of 2024, I decided to revisit it and give it a bold new life in monochrome.
I’m thrilled to announce that it earned a Gold award with SWPP for January in the pet portrait category!

Little Dora 🐾

My session with this gorgeous little model took place last month when she was only 6 weeks old. Despite her young age, she handled the shoot like a pro, taking everything in her stride. The session was calm and slow-paced, with plenty of breaks for napping, toilet visits, and feeds.

Isn't she beautiful?

I'm thrilled to share that this image won me my first Highly Commended Award for commissioned portrait from the Society of Photographers.
