An autumn-themed family shoot at stormont estate

A while ago I partnered with Main Street My Street Bangor for a Halloween promotion, offering a free pet photoshoot for the winner. The lucky winner was Louise and her gorgeous Basset Hound, Elvis!

Our photo session included Louise's husband and four lovely children, with the star of the show being 4 month old puppy Elvis.

We chose Stormont Estate as the location for our shoot as it held so many fond memories for Louise and her family and provided beautiful autumnal backdrops for our photos.

Working with children and animals at the same time can prove challenging, but it is also very rewarding when you capture big smiles and wagging tails.

It was lovely to witness the bond between Elvis and the children, especially the youngest of the clan, Elodie.

Who can resist those puppy-dog eyes?

Lucy and Elvis.

Elvis made for the best little model with his adorable, droopy face and kind nature. It was lovely having the opportunity to photograph him and his amazing family.
