Purchased the photoshoot for hubbys birthday and was expecting to hand the dogs over for an hour or 2 and observe from a distance at best HOWEVER we had an absolutely fantastic day and it was not just a photoshoot but an experience - what a way to spend the day. we had so much fun and were all so very well looked after. Then was the excited wait for the images to arrive - we were not disappointed. We are so very happy with our 'dogs catching' images and would highly recommend to other dog lovers!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The most amazing experience.

Well I can honestly say I was a little apprehensive about taking our 8 Irish Water Spaniels down to Falkirk for the day, but as soon as we arrived I knew that everything was going to be fine. Alasdair & Carrie were there to greet us and help get the dogs out for some exercise after their long journey.
Carrie understood right from the start just what I wanted. I presented her with a young puppy right through to great grandma who is eleven and a half years old and at the end of a wonderful few hours, she had what she needed to present me with the most amazing artwork I could ever have dreamed of. I couldn’t help but shed a tear when I saw my old girl Isla at the preview, and there was no way I could go away with just one of the wonderful images. I now have fantastic art on my walls to treasure for the rest of my life.
I can’t thank Carrie and Alasdair enough for their professionalism and the way they handled my dogs. The finished results are beyond fantastic.
I know I’ve gone on a bit but I will definitely be returning when the next generation of pups appear!!! Thank you both xx

Jackie, what can I say? Your Gang was the best. Sophie was just adorable and with such attitude for one so young. Isla was a total Lady and led the pack with style. Bramble.....Oh my word what a handsome dude who deserved a 'Steampunk' look! Thank you so much for letting me work with your precious babies. I was in awe of them all. They all brought something different to the table and all outshone each other......it's a pack thing! Diva was wonderful with her 'am I ready for my close up' look which made me laugh. She stood to her name. Your gang is a pure delight. Thank you so much again and I am so happy you are delighted with your Artwork. No doubt we will meet again sometime. Thank you xxxx

This is the second time I have had…

This is the second time I have had photographs taken by Carrie. I thought the first ones were wonderful but what she did after a two day session with 7 dogs was absolutely amazing. Far better than we ever imagined and so many good ideas for poses or for backgrounds and she was ever watchful and quick to find a great shot when the dogs were running free. This lady obviously has the animal’s welfare at heart and has endless patience. I would ( and have) highly recommend her.

Thank you so much David & Sylvia. I really appreciate your wonderful compliment. Alasdair and I had so much fun working with your 'gang' and they were a true pleasure. Bob has hit the dizzy heights of fame with his 'Does my Bum look big?' and Flora with her cheeky head tilt. Thank you both so much and we will no doubt see you around the shows (SKC) Kiss the gang from me xxxx

Wow, wow, wow!

Wow, wow, wow. We took our senior dog, Sam for a photoshoot as a surprise for my dad’s 70th birthday present and the results left us speechless (and very tearful!). Carrie and Alasdair are just naturals with dogs and brought the best out of our pup as well as capturing his personality perfectly! I cannot commend them enough. They have left my dad with beautiful artwork to last a lifetime. We are so grateful and appreciative to Carrie’s creativity, passion and commitment; she really is one in a million. We can’t compliment her enough. Both Carrie and Alisdair went at Sam’s pace and never pushed him above his limits. My Dad adores the photos and we will be forever thankful. Thank you so much again to both of the team for a wonderful day, overall experience and memories which will immortalise our beautiful collie forever. They are worth every penny and then some. No one does it like they do! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Wow Jenny, what a fabulous compliment. I really got quite emotional reading your review. I am so pleased your Dad loved the Artwork. Sam was fantastic and we loved every minute of the day. Thank you for sending the videos of your Dad opening up his Birthday present. Thank you so much again. Carolyne & Alasdair xx

Amazing worth every penny

I have to take my hat of to Carrie her experience with dogs is unreal! Even in a busy show situation she manage to get the best out of our babies!

The photos she took are unreal so I can’t only image what her private photo shoots will produce!

Seriously recommend her work if your looking for professional photos

Worth every penny

Couldn't honestly say enough good things about Carrie & Al & their professionalism. We took the two Shepherds up to get some artwork & I almost bought the whole lot! We have one very nervous Shepherd who was actually Al's best pal by the end of the day! Can't recommend enough...was well worth the money.

Would highly recommend Carrie to anyone looking for special memories of their dogs. From the moment we arrived Carrie and her husband took time to ensure we got some amazing images that we will treasure. They clearly love and understand dogs! The studio is based within large grounds so there's opportunity to let the dogs have a good run about to relax. Thank you once again, just delighted! x
