They say all good things come in small packages, and Max is living proof! 🐾✨ This little Jack Russell was an absolute star during his photoshoot.. full of charm, personality, and just the right amount of sass. 😎

Is it just me, or does Max have that smoldering, posed look down to an art? 🔥🐶

🎄We’ve been getting lots of enquiries about Christmas photoshoots and here’s what we love to do at Mackney ✨

We don’t use the stereotypical Christmas tree and tinsel backdrops.. instead we create beautiful, timeless family portraits with the option to add a touch of festive sparkle 💛

Bring along your Christmas jumper, tartan patterns or festive accessories and we’ll capture some classic portraits and a few Christmassy ones too.

🗓️If you’re hoping to have your products ready for Christmas Day, make sure you book early… this is our busiest (and most magical) time of year.
