WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING!
Sam did a brilliant job photographing my young Rottweiler. He was quite the fidget this day and all he wanted to do was play with a ball. Sam was so patient and relaxed, she didn't rush him, she took her time and ended up getting some stunning shots.
The weather was such a beautiful day but too beautiful as the sun was making it hard to get good shots but again Sam was patient and so relaxed about the situation and made sure she was getting amazing shots in the right lighting.
Toro loved her and she was so friendly. I definitely recommend Samantha! Thanks again for some of the best photos of Toro I have ever seen, they're photos I will cherish forever!
Becky Fetherlin (Toro the Rottweiler)
We contacted Sam to see if she could do a photoshoot of our 6 week old English Bulldog puppies. I advised her it would probably be a challenging shoot as they don't stay still! She said she was up for the challenge and I'm happy to report she came along and smashed it out of the park!
We love the pictures she has taken, and although they were wriggling and running around constantly, on the moments they took a breath she captured them and the results are amazing. She is a lovely lady, very friendly and a great and promptly communicator. I would highly recommend her for your pet photography, you won't be disappointed.
Chris Aderatis (English Bulldog Puppies)
Samantha was so friendly and she made the whole photoshoot easy and explained everything she wanted to do. She got some amazing photos!
Cat Price (Pepper the Dalmatian)
From start to finish, Sam was an absolute angel. She captured the most beautiful photos of my little Daisy and has really shown her true personality and charm through the photos. We had the opportunity to have the photoshoot for free due to Daisy being chosen to potentially be the new brand ambassador, but I would've paid 100 times over to get the experience we had. Daisy was mostly compliant with treats and Sam was able to really calm her down.
I am so impressed with Sam's work and how lovely she is as a person, and even if Daisy doesn't get picked, I would definitely use her again. Thank you so much for everything you did for us that day Sam, you're incredible!
Amii Bassi (Daisy the Pug)
Nakota was one of three to be picked to potentially become a Brand Ambassador. The photos taken are incredible! Really shows off her personality perfectly. Samantha was very patient with pooch in order to get the best photos.
Joanne Stone (Nakota the Northern Inuit)
We won a competition to have a photoshoot with Samantha. She was super patient and understanding with our Daisy. Samantha really put the ball in our court in terms of choosing location, but was also super helpful when recommending good places too.
Jessica Bound (Daisy the Cockapoo)
We were one of her first clients. Sam came to a local secure field with us to photograph our two 4 year old Staffies. Sam took some time to get to know our dogs before starting to photograph them and this put our dogs at ease and she then gave them some time to get zoomies out of the way too so that she was able to take the best pictures. Sam was very patient with both our dogs and they loved having her along.
The price paid was a special offer at the time but I would have quite happily paid more due to the quality of the pictures received. Sample photos were supplied quickly within 24 hours followed by the actual photos about 20 minutes later once we had ok'd the sample ones. I would be more than happy to have photos done by Sam again and have recommended her to a number of people.
Sarah Mayo (Joe and Moose the Staffies)
Absolutely fabulous! I have had professional photoshoots done previously by two other well established photographers but by far the best photos are the ones taken by Splendid Paws. Professional, patient and kind. She could not have treated my precious canine baby any better! Very speedy service too. Best Christmas present!
Marie Vanstone (Clyde the Toy Poodle)
Samantha is a lovely young lady who has taken some amazing photos of our Sprocker Spaniel. Our Sprocker was constantly running around pausing occasionally and Samantha was in the perfect place every time. Definitely 5 out of 5 and I can't recommend her high enough!
Carol King (Molly the Sprocker Spaniel)
I am so happy with the images from my puppy's shoot with Samantha at Splendid Paws. After winning a competition, we arranged a photoshoot at a pretty location (recommended by her). During the time, she was able to pick several different settings that worked really well. There was a relaxed and fun atmosphere and she took the time to get to know her so my pup's personality could come through. I would definitely recommend her!
Amy Jessica Adams (Roxy the Samoyed)
I would just like to thank Samantha for doing a wonderful dog shoot earlier in the year in 2023, with my Rough Collie and much loved boy Basil. Her kind and gentle manner put Basil at his ease, and with her artistic eye, she was able to capture some lovely shots of my big softie that I will treasure. Samantha seemed to have a gift for being able to capture Basil's gentle and mischievous nature! Thank you Samantha.
Alfie Ginger (Basil the Rough Collie)
Sam came over to update her portfolio for photography that started to include cats so she spent an hour loving on my two house cats. Sam didn't rush anything and was always so patient. We sat and had so much fun within the hour. I have some beautiful pictures of my two babies which I'm very grateful for as they are edited beautifully. I can't thank her enough for giving me some beautiful pictures.
Taya Coleman-Davies (Dorito and Cat Slater the Cats)
Sam wanted to get more experience working with cats - and so I offered up my five. She did well to get four of them for sure. My shyest, Mocha hid under the bed, alas. One of the images is of Flapjack. She is my curious George princess poser cat. And Sam got a couple great ones! Spent time following them around and allowed them to come to her too. If you want some photos of your pets at very reasonable prices - check her out. She's excellent with animals.
Toya Harvey (Flapjack and 3 other Cats)
I asked Sam to come to our house and take photos of my elderly dog as he has bad arthritis and is getting a bit confused in his old age. Sam was wonderful, worked around my dogs needs and amde sure we got exactly what we wanted with some precious photographs to remember our time with our dog when he is no longer with us. I whole-heartedly recommend Sam to anyone who needs an energetic, enthusiastic and understanding photographer for their animal portraits!
Ana (Bingo)
I am so pleased with the photos Samantha got of my girls. Wiggy won a photoshoot and we arranged a photoshoot while on holiday at a beautiful grounds which Samantha recommended. Sadly we did not get our full photoshoot due to the rain but we still got some amazing photos of the girls with the time we had. Lovely lady and always up for working with you and your dog to get the best out of the photoshoot and the photos you want.
Victoria Burnett (Wiggy, Gabby and Ivy)
I had the pleasure of having Samantha do a little photoshoot with my Westie x Yorkie mix Kiara. Samantha was very professional and patient with my little bundle of craziness, even with my dog being a difficult pup to photograph. Samantha managed to get some glorious shots, that I will treasure. Thanks for the wonderful memories!
Patria Capon-Ward (Kiara the Westie x Yorkie mix)
I had a photoshoot done of our beautiful Border Collie. We opted to go to the woods where we captured some beautiful photos. She was very professional and patient with us as Dottie was only a baby so wanted to explore everything. Thank you for our lasting memories!
