CLAIRE, CHRIS & BUMBLE

For Claire and Chris, Bumble isn’t just a pet—he’s their child, their lifeline, and their daily dose of joy and energy. After 11 years together, they wanted to celebrate everything Bumble means to them with a portrait that truly captures his spirit.

Bumble, their 12-year-old Border Collie, is as charming as he is cheeky. From running rings around Chris to sneaking back into the pub when he wasn’t quite ready to leave, Bumble’s antics have brought countless laughs and unforgettable stories. But beyond the fun and mischief, he’s been a lifeline during life’s challenges. For Chris, who’s overcome heart issues, Bumble’s boundless energy has been a motivator, helping him stay active and healthy. For Claire, Bumble was her steady source of comfort after losing her father, giving her the focus to keep going even in the hardest times.

Their lives have been busy and demanding—Chris as a journalist and Claire as a lawyer—but Bumble has grounded them, bringing balance and joy to their unstructured days. He’s also brought them closer as a couple, filling their home with love and light.

As Bumble gets older, this portrait feels even more meaningful. Chris may be a “big tough guy,” but it’s clear how much he adores Bumble. Having professional photos of their beloved companion will be a lasting reminder of the love, loyalty, and laughter he’s brought into their lives.

This is more than just a portrait—it’s a celebration of the incredible bond they share with Bumble, a dog who truly is family.

Chris and Claire had these words to describe their experience 'Something we thought we’d never do - and something we’ll never forget. Terrific fun: the photoshoot drew so many laughs from everyone involved, it was like the best kind of sitcom! As for the quality of the photography: stunning. Thanks a million for the warmth, the good humour and the professionalism. A lovely experience all round. (Jamie’s face as Chris put the dog’s ball in his mouth is an expression I will never forget! - Claire)'
