We had a gorgeous lab puppy in the studio a few months ago and the shoot was lots of fun. Sparky kept on bouncing over to me and sitting on my lap, which wasn't very useful but incredibly cute!

After Sparkie's crazy half hour, we turned down all the lights and wrapped him up in our fluffy blanket. He slowly calmed down and thats when we got our favourite image. We submitted it to the Pets section of the SWPP International print competition and was awarded a gold merit. It will go through to the final at the end of the year to compete for Pet Photographer of the Year.

Its the first picture displayed below, but I have also included some other great moments from the shoot.
