Animal

I’ve previously talked about Julia who fosters and follows on to adopt dogs. Since her German Shepherd, Kaiser, was put down, she has adopted a blonde German Shepherd that is equally as gorgeous.

Julia wanted some photos doing in Delamare forest where Luna stood out among the dark woods. She is a fast mover so even 1/250s didn’t work with my flash gun, I had to work even faster with her and use my camera on high continuous shutter to ensure I got some clear shots of her. I faced up to some of my own fears during this shoot too, Luna was great at running towards me and just at the last minute she’d move to the side of me and just skim past. It was absolutely terrifying but proves just what a great, fun and intelligent girl she is. I’m really proud of these photos and Julia loved them too. See what you think.

I have a close friend that fosters and sometimes adopts dogs at a local rescue home and she often asks me to come with her to shoot them. This one was adopted by her and his names is Kaiser. He was a beautiful dog, put down in 2014 because he had cancer of the throat and these photographs became something incredibly special to Julia and her family. Not being a dog lover myself, Kaiser was very special for me as he had a lovely, calm temperament and he didn’t lick people (which is something that totally grosses me out) and I became very comfortable around him and other dogs.

We went to Marbury Country Park to take these photos and as we were there, the bluebells were in their final days of being out. I loved the scenery created by such beautiful and delicate flowers so also took the opportunity to catch some of them too.
