Pet Photography Sessions

Locations

Pet photo sessions usually run for about 1-2 hours and are "on-location". This means I shoot at an outdoor or well lit indoor location using natural light, instead of inside in a studio with a backdrop and artificial lights.

Often your own home and yard can be suitable, however beautiful scenic locations can greatly enhance the look of your final images. Parks, beaches and foreshore, rural areas, and urban areas can all be considered.

We can even hold the session two locations, as long as they are within 15 minutes of each other.

What to expect

Each session will run differently depending on the personality of your dog. For very active dogs, we might try and tire them out first, so there might be lots of playing, running, chasing and general fun and games. If your dog is shy or timid, we might do quite a bit of sitting around and chatting while they relax and begin to trust me.

I mostly encourage dogs to be natural and do their doggy thing, however at times during the session I will work with them directly to capture their unique character or physical traits - such as that cute kink in their tail, a set of soft floppy ears, a big toothsome grin or distinctive markings.

Photo sessions with other pets such as cats and horses will run a little differently and I will fill you in on what to expect before the day.

My mission is to tell your pet's story by capturing candid, fun and natural shots of the fun loving creatures they are. I also really enjoy capturing the interactions they have with the people who love them - so if you wish to be in some photos with your pets you are more than welcome.

The end result

Our final destination is the presentation of some engaging, often humorous and always creative art of your best friend that portrays them perfectly. I like nothing more than seeing some wall art hanging proudly in your home, or a session album taking pride of place on your coffee table, allowing you to be constantly reminded of your pet’s story and just how special they are.

As a devoted owner myself, I understand that pets are often more like members of your family. Their time with us is fleeting, making their existence treasured. Photos of your pet can be looked back on for years to come and will serve to remind you of those happy times with your beloved pet.
