This is a story about a dog — but not just any dog. This is the story of Storm. He was an English Springer Spaniel born on the Isle of Skye, bred for the field, built like a tank, and gifted to me through an act of extraordinary kindness.

He became part of the rhythm of my days, part of the stillness of my evenings, and part of the story that has shaped who I am.

Every so often, I see a familiar post pop up on a local Facebook group or community page:“Looking for a dog photographer – any recommendations?” Now, you'd think that would make me smile — this is my world, after all. Photographing dogs is what I do. It’s what I’ve dedicated my time, energy, and passion to. But more often than not, what happens next makes my stomach drop.

There are moments in dog photography that stay with you — not because of the light, the composition, or the setting — but because of the feeling.This was one of them. A quiet morning. Just me and three of the dogs I know best: Fen, Abi, and Eli.No fancy setup, just trust. And something simple: a paw in my hand. What followed became one of the most meaningful sets of images I’ve taken — because they captured what I like to call the power of a paw.

If you’re a fan of the countryside, working dogs, or simply love the look of a classic country home, then you’ll want to hear about our Gundog Studio Package. It’s one of the most unique photography experiences available in the Warminster area, and it’s especially perfect for owners of Labradors, Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and other gundog breeds.

When I head out to events like local markets, country fairs, or dog shows, I bring more than just framed photos and a camera—I bring a story, an experience, and a celebration of the bond between people and their dogs. The two images here show the heart of my mobile setup, a space I’ve carefully designed to reflect the warmth, character, and emotion behind every image I create as The Outdoor Dog Photographer.
