The Best of July

Welcome to my new blog feature, Best of the Month. I’ve started this feature to showcase my work from each month, as well as sharing some of my personal highlights. I’m cheating a little bit with this one and sharing some of June as well, so lets dive on in!

My biggest highlight this month was being named as one of the Pet Anthology’s 30 Inspiring Pet Photographers. To be named as inspiring is such an honour, and even more amazing was being named alongside some big international names. I absolutely love what I do and it’s amazing to be acknowledged for it.

Another great highlight for me was completing the Saffron on the Hill 2013 Calendar. It’s been a labour of love and I am beyond thrilled at the final result. I wrote about my experience creating the calendar over at Hair of the Dog. We are just finishing up with pre-orders and hoping to launch it for sale to the public by the end of the week, so stay tuned! Here’s a sneak peek of Mr May – Zach aka the Pirate of Love

I also had a very special session with Tracey and her four beautiful dogs, Mia, Abi, Kody, and Gemma. Each dog is so beautiful in their own way and they are so loved.

Blake’s session was an absolute blast – I don’t know who was more exhausted after, him or me!

On a personal note, our lovely houseguest Reggie went home to her Mum and Dad, who were thrilled to see her!

And our beautiful foster kittens, Mr Moo and Justin B arrived. They are still looking for their forever home, so please get in touch if you’d like to meet these amazing boys

On a very special final note, Granny Giggles turned ten years old! Granny was kept in a puppy farm most of her life and could barely walk due to muscle wastage when she came to Saffron on the Hill.  Karen has done an incredible job rehabilitating her, and we thought it was only fair that she get absolutely spoiled rotten in her tenth year. You can see the full set of photos over at my Facebook Page

August is set to be a busy month – I’ll be doing marketing plans and budgets for the year, as well as getting ready for spring Pet Portrait sessions. I’ve got some great ones coming up that I can’t wait to share with you all. I’ll also be launching a Father’s Day special that will help take the pain out of gift giving. And above all else, my business will be turning one year old! I’ll have a special post for you then.

Thanks so much for reading, and don’t forget to join me on Facebook!
