Judith and Giles had their engagement shoot last Friday morning at Manor Park in Dungannon. Judith had a little surprise guest that I wasn’t expecting. When I say ‘little’ I mean literally! The tiniest dog I have ever seen. One of those wee handbag dogs. I don’t think anyone has told Izzy that she is pocket-sized. The smaller the dog – the bigger the attitude!

Of course, when couples bring their dogs I like to get lots of pictures of all three together We were very lucky to get our shoot on that morning. As soon as we finished it was torrential rain for the rest of the day!

Ready to take on a passing labrador…

This is one of those photos that either happens or doesn’t happen because there is no time. I put the camera near the ground and pointed it at Izzy. Then I barked like a dog. Yes, photographers need to be nuts.

As luck would have it, outside it is gorgeous this week and I’m indoors editing, designing books, ordering prints, invoicing, designing wall hangings… If I ever get cleared up, I might take Niamh for a wee mini-shoot. Haven’t taken pictures of my own kids in ages!
