Ellie – thirteen years old, spoilt rotten, loved more than anything in this world – this little girl may be small, but she takes up so much room in her mumma’s heart.
Ellie has been with her mum since she was ten weeks old, and she has Syringomyelia – a condition which means Ellie needs that little bit extra of TLC. Ellie has the most beautiful, gentle face and the sweetest soul. She also has a really cheeky side, halfway through she decided she wouldn’t respond to the word “treat”, so Mel and I kept saying “cheeeeeeeeese” and “poooooooooork” like a pair of idiots.
We had a lovely shoot with lots of laughter – Ellie thought it was great being so spoilt. Her beautiful nature is so clear in these pictures, you can see the love she has for Mel (and treats!) written all over her pretty face. Thank you so much Mel for choosing me to photograph Ellie – it was a privilege.

My little girl is my best friend. She has been with me through a lot of hard times and anyone who can’t understand the bond between human and dog obviously either hasn’t had the fortune of having one in their lives and/or hasn’t respected them enough to realise they are more than mere pets. She has taught me things I never thought possible such as compassion (unless it’s a dog or cat anywhere near her food bowl), determination and patience. She lives with a debilitating disorder yet hasn’t allowed this to dampen her zest for life. Ellie – also affectionately known as Bella, Ella Bella, Milky and Bubba – even though shares a small part of my life – has my whole heart.
