Report
I've had the pleasure of Sandie photographing my dog as part of her puppy package. Beginning with a puppy shoot when my dog, Remus, was just 11 weeks old and most recently an 8month outdoor shoot in our local woodlands. Every image has been stunning and really captured the character of my boy. Sandie always ensures the dog is in charge and able to make decisions, waiting for him to get to know her and exploring the equipment, never forcing him to pose and having plenty of patience to wait for him to be ready and willing to engage with the shoot. We can't wait for our year old shoot to take place
