in the last
Gonna make some leg babies today.
My name is Ursula
I'm 31 and
I work taking pictures of my dogs
for Instagram.
I have one hundred and thirty two
thousand followers.
That's pretty cute, boys.
Hugo and I are really serious and
Huxley is really goofy on the side.
Today we're going to take the boys,
the groomers and get them looking
freshened up.
Trying to go for the pizza.
The picture that had the
biggest reaction was an image of
Hugo and I, we both had
round glasses on.
When I took it I thought
'oh I look a bit like Steve Jobs'.
Then I thought, okay, Steve Dogs
because he's a dog.
It's had around fifty thousand likes.
And then that got picked up by
lots of media companies
and so it kind of went off from there.
I didn't then decide I'm
going to make money from it.
I just thought wow,
that's really fun.
And then gradually over the next
few months, it built up.
So what have you been up to lately?
The last two weeks have been really busy.
We had a job with Legoland.
You must be really careful and
Huxley peed at one of the buildings.
I was like 'oh god'.
I was first contacted for a job
February, March last year.
A year ago,
I was just photographing
one post for £300.
Now a thousand a post and I probably
should be putting it up a little bit.
They really know how to pose,
they really know how to...
you know, work the camera.
They literally do.
A really big account,
you don't really want to flood it.
The rule is no more than one a day.
The most popular posts at the
moment are ones where
they're both sticking their tongue out
or if Huxley is humping people.
Get off!
Huxley get off!
Is that the thanks I get?
I love you so much.
Just hoping he can stay this nice.
Do you ever get those little boots
that they sell?
Do they fit?
Can I try some actually?
Hugo often if you put socks on him
he just doesn't move.
Come on then.
I think you always have to be camera ready
When you put your phone down
is when they do something really
goofy and really fun.
Hugo get down!
Right now it's these shoes
and the way he walks with them.
I'm going to see if I can get a
little slow mo of him actually.
Hey! Bye!
Bye boys, it was lovely to see you.
Now we're going off to a party shop.
Actually, for adult fancy dress.
I reckon some glasses.
They're gorgeous.
Thank you.
I dress up with him, which is why
we're in this shop that we wear
matching outfits and do silly things.
This is Huxley's trademark of
liking people is humping them.
That means he's a really big fan.
My USP is the fact that
Hugo and I dress up together
and people like the dog and owner
rather than just the dog.
Come on then boys.
I'm going to just play around with
the stuff we bought today from the shop.
I don't have anything
particular in mind.
I'd say every day I take photos
of them, it only ever takes five minutes.
It's not hours and hours of doing it.
It's sitting on Instagram
that takes ages and replying to everyone
that's where most of the time is spent.
I probably take between 1 and 400
photos to get the shot I need.
Sometimes you literally get it
in 10. It's great.
And then sometimes like now
this will probably be about 200.
Down. down, down, down, down.
Stay.
Wait.
I won't take on any paid jobs,
that I can't have fun with.
I think it becomes difficult when
people decide to...
alright, ok, I'm going to make money
out of Instagram.
Kind of, slightly the wrong angle.
If you're doing something you love anyway
then that's the best way
for you to be good at it
and for other people to kind of
enjoy watching it.
No Huxley wait.
Hugo, sit, sit.
Hugo.
This is gonna work.
