Buddy & Harley's Story

This video is about Buddy & Harley

On a gorgeous summer day I went for a walk around some parkland with Buddy and Harley.  Despite the fact that I grew up in Coatbridge, I discovered some gorgeous spots that I never knew existed including a large secluded pond which the boys loved.  At times I struggled to keep up and was thankful that I brought my telephoto lens so that I could still get some shots as they bounded off into the distance.  It was at the pond that the fun really began and I ended up getting soaked on more than one occasion.  It was great fun and I’m glad I got to go exploring with them; although next time I’ll bring some waterproofs haha

Harvey's Story

Harvey was turning 13 so as a little birthday treat, Kevin arranged for me to spend the morning with them and capture a few birthday portraits.  Cramond in Edinburgh was the chosen location and I don't think we could have picked anywhere better.  The boats, river, ruins and waterfalls all made for a lovely backdrop and helped to show off Harvey's natural good looks.  For a dog in the prime of his life, he certainly didn't lack energy and couldn't wait to make the most of the beautiful weather.  We strolled along the river, stopped every now and again to capture a few shots and made a few friends along the way.  He even went for a paddle in the river to cool off (which was cut short due to the discovery of dead salmon which caught his eye).  Harvey is a gorgeous dog with a fantastic temperament and it was a pleasure to spend a morning with him and Kevin.   

 

 

Bailey's Story

I set off from Glasgow on a glorious sunny day to spend the morning with Bailey, Cameron and Alison.  The closer I got to Edinburgh, the darker the skies became and by the time I got there the fog had descended.  We didn't let that stop us and after a bit of time getting to know each other I got out my camera.  Oh dear... what is this thought Bailey.  As soon as she heard the click she hid behind the table and made it quite clear that she was in no mood for any modelling today.    We decided to keep her in familiar surroundings and play some Frisbee in the back garden whilst I kept my distance and captured a few actions shots.  Then we headed off to let her get a good run and she quickly came out of her shell.  She bombed around at 100 miles an hour but was kind enough to stop and pose when we found a good spot and I'm so glad she did because she looked amazing.  The surroundings really accentuated her noble good looks and despite the overcast day I managed to capture a number of beautiful shots.
