Best Pal Photography

Best Pal Photography Photographer of pets covering primarily Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire I've always loved animals but dogs are my passion.

I have photographs of me as a small child, taken by my father, with our first dog, Butch. I gained my love of photography from my father. I remember many hours spent under our stairs in his makeshift dark room developing films and then producing our own prints with a projector and trays of chemicals. I recently retired after working in the financial services industry for nearly 40 years. My busine

ss has enabled me to bring my two passions together. I love capturing the personality of a beloved pet so that when the 'pet parent' sees the photographs it could only be their pal. I would love to have the opportunity to work with you and your pal to capture memories that will last a lifetime. If you'd like to find out what is involved, what products are available, the costs or anything else please either telephone me for an informal chat or send an email, with no obligation. However, if you just like looking at photos of gorgeous dogs please like my page so you don't miss out.

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you get to unwrap something special 🙂

Raising money for Guide Dogs in memory of Iris

A much loved pal of ours', retired Guide Dog Iris recently lost her short battle with cancer.

Following Iris’s death I had the idea of raising enough money to name a guide dog puppy Iris.

To get to do that you have to raise £2,500 which seems daunting but I’ve decided to give it a go anyway.

I’ve been going through the necessary processes with Guide Dogs to get a Just Giving page set up correctly.

The page is now live and the link is below. If you are able to help financially that would be greatly appreciated.

Could I also ask you to share this with friends and relatives on social media. There is a video I’ve put together at the top of the Just Giving page so even those who didn’t meet Iris when she was alive can get to experience the joy she brought and what a ‘new’ Iris could do for a blind person.

Many thanks.

The dogs and I had a walk in Rowney Warren Woods today. Bracken and Doug were wearing their poppies in memory of all who have suffered in conflicts, humans and animals, past and present.

RIP Monty

Yesterday I received the sad news that a special pal of mine had passed away.

I started walking Monty through the The Cinnamon Trust in 2019. My first walk was on 2nd June 2019 and I remember it very clearly.

This is an extract from an article I wrote for the trust's magazine in 2021.

"I clearly remember our first meeting. The entrance to his home is on the side of the house so I had to go through the front gate to get to it. I knocked on the front door and heard a loud bark.

A moment later a giant dog appeared around the rear corner of the house heading straight for me at full speed; and went straight to my hand in which I was holding a treat, sniffing it with great interest.

That sums up Monty’s character, a big friendly giant of a dog who is happy to meet everyone, especially if you have a treat!

There are a number of footpaths to walk near his home, some of which go through woods. This brings us to Monty’s other great passion, sticks; the bigger the better!"

Every dog is special but when you earn the trust, respect and love of a dog as big and powerful as Monty it is a very special feeling.

I will miss you Big Dog.
