Dog Portrait Photography for Bessie the Cocker Spaniel by Sam Carter

Main website: http://www.pawprintsphotography.co.uk/

I get to meet a lot of dogs in the course of my work, and every single one of them is an individual personality. Bessie the Cocker Spaniel was no exception. Bessie won her pet portrait as a prize in a dog show in the category of pet and owner who look a like. From the second I walked through the door of Bessie's home her tail never stopped wagging. She was so full of beans and really playful with the camera.

• Spaniels are one of the oldest breeds of domestic dogs.  It is thought they arrived in England during Cesar's invasion around 54-55 BC and  probably originated in Spain.

• They were originally bred for hunting to flush game out of dense foliage.  Cocker Spaniels were not recognised as a specific breed until after 1892. 

• In the 1930's the Cocker Spaniel was the most popular breed of dog in Britain and it has been the most successful breed at winning 'Best in Show' at Crufts, winning on 7 occasions.

 Here are a few of the images from Bessie's photo shoot. If you would like more information about our pet photography please visit our website at www.pawprintsphotography.co.uk.

Cat Photography of Sophie & Lily

A couple of weeks ago I was asked to photograph Sophie and Lily, two very sweet black cats in Surrey.  Although neither were particularly interested in having their photograph taken, and much preferred to sit on the window sill and watch the world go by outside, we still managed to get some great shots of the two of them.

Here are just a few of the shots from the day.  If you would like more information on our pet photography services please visit our website at http://www.pawprintsphotography.co.uk/ or email us at enquiries@samcarterphotography.com

Pet Photography for Jet, Coco & Buddy

Main website: http://www.pawprintsphotography.co.uk/

In early October I drove to Petersfield in Hampshire to photograph Jet and Coco, two Pointers, and Buddy, a beautiful tri-coloured horse.

I photographed Jet and Coco first using a studio style with a white background and then we moved out into the garden and I photographed them whilst they mooched about enjoying themselves and the Autumn sunshine.  They were both very good with the camera, and Coco seemed to actively 'pose' for me.

We then moved down to the paddock to photograph Buddy the horse, who was also a real little show off for the camera.

Here are a few of the images from the shoot.

Last week I travelled to Winchester in Hampshire to photograph Bailey, a gorgeous Cocker Spaniel.  Bailey is a rescue dog owned by Kate and her family and had won his photographic pet portrait in a dog show in the category of waggiest tail - and it certainly was!

Bailey was brilliant to photograph and very playful.  Here are a few of the images from the shoot.
