Photoshoot with Toogoods Tiny Paws

Towards the end of last year, we took a little trip to visit my friend Steph from Sceville Rats / Toogoods Tiny Paws. If you didn't already know, Steph does photography and I've admired her rat photoshoots from afar for a while now. As I had what felt like 100 keepers after my last litters, and I dreaded the idea of trying to get nice shots of them myself, I thought what better time to ask Steph to take some photos? Luckily for me, she said yes! 

I took all of my keepers, plus Amatis one of the older vari does, as I wanted some shots of her with her daughter. I didn't expect to get through every single rat and just thought we'd pick the most well behaved ones but Steph powered through and got them all! There was a wide variety of props which was really fun to choose from and I loved seeing the behind the scenes process.

As there is so many photos, I will just share one of each rat, however, if you would like to see more, you can find them on my instagram here. Steph sent me over 100 images in total so we certainly had plenty of choice! 

Firstly we have the bucks and there are eight of them from four different litters. I wouldn't usually breed both lines or keep so many rats in one go but it ended up this way due to the virus we had last year that sadly killed some of my stud bucks, and delayed my breeding plans.

Next we have the does and there are eight of these lovely ladies too. You'll notice there is one that I didn't breed, but she will be paired to one of my Russian Topaz bucks so will become a part of my line. Though her dad is a Roman so technically she's part of the line already!

And another of Amatis & Amalia because they're super cute

I am so very grateful to Steph for taking all of these photos, I absolutely love having these special images. I love how the photos don't look wildly photoshopped and edited, and I'm just amazed she managed to get nice ones of even the craziest of rats! My next plan is to choose a couple of my favourites and get them put up on the wall in my office...not sure how I'll make a decision though!
