CALLING ALL PET BUSINESSES IN COUNTY CORK AND BEYOND 🐾🐕🐴

Do you run a pet-related business and wish you had beautiful professional photos to show the world what you do?

I am expanding my photography service to work with pet businesses, and I'd love to connect with some wonderfull local brands and business owners.

Wheter you are a dog trainer, groomer, pet sitter, dog walker or creating products for our furry friends, professional photography can help you tell youe story and show potential costumers what makes your business so special.

My photography style is natural, relaxed and inspired by the outdoors. I love capturing the genuine interactions and personalities of animals.

I'd love to bring the same approach to your business, creating images you can use for your website, social media and marketing material.

Do you know a pet business that could benefit from professional photography?

Each season is different and this is important when planning your pet&owner photography session.

Because the season predicts what your photos are going to look like.

What is the scenery like at that time of year?

What clothes will I be wearing?

This first photo is taken in winter. And we might all believe winter is mostly wet and windy, but it also has so much beauty to offer.

Think of:
✨️ skies with beautiful colours ( and you do not need to rise at 5 am to see them)
✨️ empty beaches and woodlands
✨️ cozy sweater and hat vibes

In spring the landscape fills itself with flowers. Perfect for a bluebell photoshoot with your pup like this one.

Everything looks fresh and green and if you are lucky on the day, you can even wear a T-shirt.

Hot summer days can give the opportunity for family photos in the water but no garantees of course. This is still Ireland 😉

Summer is perfect when you are looking for that summer dress photoshoot and being in the water with your dogs.

The biggest downfall for summer ( from a photographer perspective) are the long days.

It means:

✨️early rises to catch the best light at sunrise
✨️ if there are no clouds, the light can sometimes be a bit harsh

All has it own charm. It depends on how you would like your photos to be.

Then there is fall. My absolute favourite for photographing dogs and their families out in nature 🍂💕

The special colours in the sky

The changing colours of the trees and foliage

And pink sunrise at the beach

Perfect weather for a woolen sweater and hat.

Autumn is my favourite time for photoshoots. And that was one of the reasons I wanted to be in Wales to see these beautiful colours.

All the different colours in the landscape and the trees are what makes this season so amazing.

These are a few photos of my Wales collection and it was a time for trying out different things.

Photo 1: At the bottom of mount Snowdon in the freezing morning cold I managed to capture this photo. Just before I had to run back to my van because of a sudden downpoor 😅

Photo 2: We saw this oak tree during one of our walk and it screamed fairytales to me. Luckily Abbey thought the same and used some of her posing skills

Photo 3: I just love the energy in old slate mines, which is where this is taken. The wall I am standing on is a left over from one of the old miners houses.

Photographing is Wales was a dream come through. I have to go back there again for some portrait sessions.

Do you have a favourite of the 3 photos?

When the light, landscape and moment end up in one beautiful composition ❤️

This photo is one of my Wales collection and was create during one of our walks.

My dog Ember was doing her favourite thing, sitting on a wall and looking if she can spot any birds.

And in exactly that moment, the clouds opend to let through some golden sunrays.

This photo is going to be available as art print soon.

If you are wondering what to wear for a family photoshoot in Ireland during fall season, this is the guide you need.

Next to my advice to wear natural colors without screaming patterns on them.

And your doggy, can come just as they are😉

What is your favourite photoshoot outfit?

Wondering how I handle Irish weather as a pet & owner photographer who only does outdoor photoshoots?

Sunrise photoshoot with these two beautiful labradors Sceolan and Sass at the beach. And how else can this end than playing in the water 🥰

These two beauties are also very special, because they often help their owner supporting people with mental health issues. Offering them friendship and calmness.

And for doing such great work, these two deserved their morning in the sun.

I couldn't resist taking a few snapshots of the dogs in the pumpkin field we passed.

Can you believe that this was only my first visit to a pumpkin field ever?

Thinking about a photoshoot on a pumpkin field? October is the time to do it.

Do you ever go pumpkin picking?

In the beginning of September I had the pleasure of having these two beautiful labradors in front of my lens.

While being at Harbour View beach at sunrise, it soon became clear that these two love a bit a water like real labradors.

These are only a few photos of the pet photoshoot at the beach, and I will soon share more including all the splashy shots. But as I am curently travelling, lightroom and I have a minor disagreement about downloading in the right size😅
