So at the start of a brand new year, and decade, I’m looking back at the year that was 2019. While I’m not great at blogging events and news as it happens, I find these wrap-up posts to be a helpful introspective exercise, as well as a great way to keep all my followers updated about what I’ve been up to throughout the previous year.
Read MoreThe last time I wrote a yearly wrap-up was in 2015 (which was a pretty eventful year) but since then, I’ve been so time poor due to various projects, the next couple of years missed out.
Towards the end of 2018, with my workload finally starting to ease, I vowed to get this written and even though it’s now two weeks into 2019 – I figured better late than never!
Read MoreWho else is loving these amazing bursts of purple we have at this time of year - our stunning Brisbane Jacaranda trees? 😍I did some location scouting with my furry terrors yesterday afternoon and found the perfect spot for a Jacaranda-inspired photo shoot.
Read MoreIt was July 2007. Armed with laminated A4 prints, shiny new business cards and a promotional banner, I first launched my new dog photography business at a local pet event on the Gold Coast. At the time, I had big dreams and high hopes, but no idea my business would grow to the extent it has, nearly 11 years later!
Read MoreA huge thank you to all my wonderful clients in 2017! I had my last shoot for the year yesterday and am looking forward to some time off in the coming weeks – it’s been a huge year!

Read MoreAfter nearly ten years of being in business as a professional pet photographer, I’ve heard so many stories of people not getting around to booking a session, only to regret it later. There are always reasons they didn’t book… I think I’ve heard them all! I’d like to share the most common reasons here so you know you’re not alone. Also, the reasons why those reasons suck.

Read MoreFollowing on from my personal wrap-up of 2015 – here’s some of my favourite shots taken at client shoots and mentoring sessions from 2015. For aspiring pet photographers who like to see lens and exposure specs, I’ve included them on all photos for you. All photos were taken with my Canon 1D-x camera body and all use 100% natural light.
Read MoreReflecting upon the past year, I am grateful for another wonderful year of being in business, following my dream as a pet photographer. It was an eventful year for me personally as well, so in addition to a Best of 2015 post with all my favourite client images I thought I’d share a little personal insight into my year.
Read MoreFor as long as I’ve been into photography (close to 15 years now) I’ve always had some type of Lowepro camera bag to haul around and protect my gear. My current day-to-day camera backpack is the Lowepro ProTactic 450AW – I love it as it’s super comfy to wear and practical for the sort of outdoors shooting I do.
Read MoreYou’re thinking about booking a session and getting some awesome photos of the furry love of your life. The only thing is, you’re pretty sure they’re not going to behave themselves at the photo session, unlike all the dogs you see on this website – they must be perfectly behaved, right?

Read MoreI’ve been itching to share my new Momento Books for a couple of months now but only managed to get around to photographing my sample today. I’ve actually had a couple of clients order theirs already so I will share how they turned out when I receive them. Anyway, without further ado, meet… the Momento Book!
