So earlier this year I got to photograph a very cute little puppy called Falkland. We did the sitting in his backyard as he hadn’t had all his vaccinations at the time of the shoot. I was pretty excited to photograph him as he was a Swedish Vallhund puppy and the photos I had seen of him were ridiculously cute.

Unbeknown to me Falkland had a sister called Thatcher the Mouse Catcher.

When I arrived I immediately melted into a puddle at the unbelievable cuteness of Falkland. I mean seriously - the cute factor was off the charts. BUT as we moved outside I noticed a gorgeous black cat. Falkland’s human mum told me that the cat (Thatcher) was unlikely to come over as she was a bit shy.

Thatcher however was not letting her brother steal all the limelight and before I had even taken one photo of the crazy cute Falkland, Thatcher was sashaying down the fence demanding the camera’s gaze.

So pretty much I was in heaven - stunning black cat exuding cattitude and the sweetest little puppy who could make your heart explode.
