Had my three girls photographed by Brendan. So happy I did it. He was absolutely brilliant with the girls. They loved him. Shoot took over 4 hours and was worth every cent. Photos are the living proof of a genius at work. Sadly lost my oldest girl only weeks after the shoot which makes the photo’s even more special.
Thanks again Brendan

Alannah and I would like to say a huge thank you for taking such wonderful photos of Molly. You had great patience while taking all 70 photos of Molly which was much appreciated.
The result was beautiful and we now have a beautiful framed photo of the new addition to the family.

As a dog groomer, I am naturally nutty about all things canine. My fiance bought me a Shoot My Dog voucher for Christmas.
There are no words to describe the finished photographs!
Brendan immediately made us feel at ease as we wouldn't be 'photograph friendly' - we laughed the whole way through the shoot! Presented in a choice of neutral or coloured frames, and with smart but subtle airbrushing (requested on my behalf!) the photographs appear like unique one-off artwork pieces in your home rather than just pictures, and everyone who visits never fails to notice and admire them!
Thanks Brendan for really capturing Paddy & Lesters personality - even my clients at 'Groomer Has It' in Carlanstown have been asking me where I got the photographs!
Best Wishes, Denise, Shane and of course - Paddy & Lester :) xx

I got a gift of a Shoot my Dog voucher last Christmas from a friend of mine who must be at his wits end trying to come up with a different present every birthday and Christmas. This time Tomás, you struck gold (…again)!
Brendan came to my home in Galway and I almost had to kick him out! He worked tirelessly trying to make sure that my dog and I looked our best. To be honest, he had the winning snaps in his first few frames but insisted on many more poses to make sure I was happy.
As a kid I always wanted a pony. My parents got me a …donkey whom I loved dearly and rode bare-back up and down the village main street! Sadly, I’ve no photos of her. However I now I have some stunning photos of my favourite dog in the world and me in a green blouse to differenciate between us. We have the same hair you see. Yeah, yeah, every owner begins to look like their dog. I don’t mind. She’s a beauty so bring it on!
I’d highly recommend a photo shoot by Brendan to anyone looking for something a bit different. And if anyone has any suggestions as to what I can get Tomás next Christmas let me know. I owe him big time!

Hi Brendan.
Anne & I cant thank you enough for the set of stunning photos of "Dash". They are perfect replicas of him, and we just didnt expect the clarity and tone to be so faithful. Brilliant! Unlike anything we've ever seen before! Thank you so very much.

Brendan managed to do the impossible..catch the essence of the 'Ferrari of the canine world' ie Freddie our beautifully mischievious but adorable whippet!
He (Brendan!)showed patience and perfectionism to ensure he really captured Freddie\'s personality and character. Many thanks Brendan.

Hi Brendan,
I just wanted to write and thank you for the wonderful photographs; as you know when you contacted myself to let me know that Freya had won the portrait competition from the RDS pet expo weekend i was thrilled but very nervious as i don't like having my picture taken.
However you took great care in posing Freya and I, and ensuring we were at ease at all times. I must compliment you as you are very patient and work well with both animals and people.
I'm so glad to have won this opportunity--I have pictures I will treasure forever.
Thank you again,
Kind regards,
Aoife

HI BRENDAN,
JUST WANTED TO SAY A MASSIVE THANK YOU FOR MY GORGEOUS PHOTOGRAPHS OF MY DOG ELLIE, SHE IS SO PRECIOUS TO ME AND NOW THAT SHE IS ILL AND MY TIME WITH HER IS LIMITED, THESE PHOTOGRAPHS MEAN I WILL NEVER FORGET HER OR WHAT HER PRETTY LITTLE FACE LOOKS LIKE. YOU MANAGED TO CAPTURE SO MANY OF HER LOOKS FROM HAPPY TO SAD, SHES SUCH A CUTIE!
INITIALLY WHEN I MADE THE BOOKING WITH YOU I WAS NERVOUS ABOUT HOW ELLIE WOULD BE AS SHE HATES GETTING HER PICTURE TAKEN, WHY I WORRIED I DON’T KNOW !!!! YOU REALLY HAD A SPECIAL WAY WITH HER AND SHE WAS REALLY RELAXED DURING THE PHOTOSHOOT. SO THAT PUT ME AT EASE !
I COULD NOT RECOMMEND YOU HIGHLY ENOUGH AND THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE REALLY SOMETHING I WILL TRESURE FOREVER. NOTHING WAS TOO MUCH TROUBLE FOR YOU AND YOU PUT A LOT OF TIME PATIENCE AND EFFORT INTO MAKING SURE EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT AND JUST THE WAY I WANTED.
ALL IN ALL THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS SO MUCH FUN AND I WOULD DEFINETLY DO IT AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. YOU ARE HILARIOUSLY FUNNY AND MADE BOTH ELLIE AND I FEEL SO COMFORTABLE.
ONCE AGAIN BRENDAN, FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MY FANTASTIC PICTURES AND MOST OF ALL THE MEMORIES WHICH I WILL NEVER FORGET
LOVE KELLY AND ELLIE XXX - Kelly Farrely (Drogheda)

Hi Brendan,
Thanks so much for taking the photos of Millie with my son and I. It really captured how we feel about her and that she is very much part of our family. Millie is a Therapy Pet with PEATA as you know and the photos you gave us to leave at the hospitals she visits is much admired and appreciated by all who know her and enjoy her company.
We have a new addition to the family and I think later this year we will have to invite you back for the next photo on the wall...
Thanks from Rory and Laura
Brendan,

I would like to thank Brendan for the lovely photographs he took of Coco and Bess. He took a lot of time in taking the photographs and in helping me decide which ones to chose and which frames would suit the photographs.
Many thanks, Paula, Coco and Bess
Hi Brendan,
Just a quick note to say thank you for your excellent work with Marv at the end of last year. Unfortunately Marv is no longer with us, he got sick in Feb with scepticemia which here covered from but it took alot out of him, i had been carrying him around for the past few months and he got sick 2 weeks ago on a friday and we decided on the monday that it was best for him to let him go, it was only a few days after we had a party for him for his 14th birthday. Myself and Jackie are heartbroken, we are taking some comfort in having the pictures you did for us.
