Gail has taken my cocker spaniel pup’s photo twice now & never disappoints. How she manages to capture his wee expressions when he is so bouncy & full of life amazes me. I wish I had that talent! She puts Chester totally at ease & is so patient with him. We can’t wait for our next session! Thanks so much again Gail!

Gail, I cannot even begin to express how appreciative I am of capturing these breath-taking frame worthy photographs of my furry boy. At the grand age of 11 years old (Although mentally he thinks he's still 6)... I wanted to make sure I got photographs to cherish now and when the day exists that he's not by my side. As a photographer, I truly value the moment a photograph can provide. Not only this.. but the skill, expertise, knowledge and patience a photographer has - you Gail, are another world to this. If you are thinking about booking your dog a photoshoot, do it now. Don't wait. You don't know what tomorrow will bring. Book.

We are so pleased that Gail was our wedding photographer (as well as an adventure shoot beforehand). We love her style of photography, and it came across so well in our own photos – we absolutely love them! So many people commented on how great the photos are. Gail was really easy, professional and relaxing to work with and made sure everything was ready for the big day. She made sure we got all the shots we wanted as well as having plenty of time to spend with our guests. The day went by so fast that we had little time to fully appreciate what was going on around us. But shortly after the event, Gail sent the photos and we were really impressed how she was able to capture the magic of the day. We were able to experience all the little moments we hadn’t seen, as well as relive all the excitement and happiness of the day. We would 100% recommend Gail and would book her in the future if we have any other special occasions to document.

Gail was the very first vendor we booked for our wedding after absolutely falling in love with her style at our friends wedding the year before. Her chilled and gentle demeanour, candid documentary style & simply STUNNING photos were an instant hit and we felt totally safe in her hands, nothing was too much for her and she just went above and beyond at every turn ❤️ Gail made us feel so comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed all our shoots, she was so attentive to our needs and really helped put everyone at ease including my sister who has Asperger’s and anxiety around photo-taking, Gail was just so understanding and compassionate and came up with some really helpful suggestions. Honestly couldn’t recommend Gail highly enough, from start to finish she took care of every stress that came our way and delivered just amazing photos. Would happily work with Gail again Thank you so much for the brilliant photographs and for being an all round wonderful person

Gail recently took wedding photos for myself and my husband and I was blown away by her work. My new husband does not like getting his picture taken so the majority of the photos are natural and we look so happy in them, I cannot chose my favourite. The communication with Gail was amazing throughout and our photos were delivered extremely quick and I would highly recommend.
