See What Frankie Can Do

I'm Frankie, a dog and equine photographer based in Cumbria who also photographs people. My work has taken me across Asia and Africa, but there's nowhere I'd rather be than here near the Lake District and Hadrian’s Wall, photographing the animals I love against the landscapes that make this place so special. I work with natural light and in studio, plenty of patience, and a genuine love for what I do.

But the part I care about most? Making sure every session feels right for you and your animal. Whether they're shy, full of beans, or somewhere in between, we'll take our time and find those real moments together - the ones that remind you exactly why you fell in love them in the first place.

“These photos absolutely brought me to tears! How wonderful! I have never seen photographs before that so captured the personality, physicality and spirit of Lexi.

In the images where she is watching and listening and sifting/reading the air, you have shown how she is part of nature; in her element; attentive and alert. I also love how you have captured the sinuousness of her body, her musculature, her ears, snout and her whiskers.

To me she is a noble creature and, furry love on four legs. It’s all there in your photography. Brilliant.

I really don’t know how to say thank you adequately. You have a remarkable eye and talent."
