Naomi with her two dogs Louis and Poppy – November 2009

As expected when we first arrived at Zoo Stu­dio, Louis darted straight under the couch on account of the weird scary man in the room. Mean­while, Poppy bus­ied her­self mak­ing deposits in the stu­dio. I won­dered how the ses­sion would go with a start like that!

The scary weird man was of course Ken, and thanks to his patience and gen­tle demeanour Louis even­tu­ally emerged from behind the couch to inves­ti­gate the treats and toys on offer. What fol­lowed was an incred­i­bly stress-free photo shoot of the dogs been them­selves, and me not hav­ing to apol­o­gise for who they are.

When we left I was amazed how relieved I felt that the whole expe­ri­ence had been pos­i­tive for all of us. But, my great­est sur­prise was when I saw the fin­ished prod­uct! The colours of the pho­tos were incred­i­ble and seemed so life-like.

I would not hes­i­tate to rec­om­mend Zoo Stu­dio to any­one who wanted to cap­ture the per­son­al­ity and love of their spe­cial non-human friend! I can not thank Zoo Stu­dio enough for our fan­tas­tic pic­tures, and for mak­ing the whole expe­ri­ence ter­rific for all of us.
