During a trip to the Queenstown/Arrowtown area of New Zealand early last summer, Craig (my Unleashed Education co-founder) and I met up with our friends Merran and Mady at Glenorchy. You may have seen Benson in both our images previously - he's definitely our favourite dog model in the area and we always meet up with him and his mum Merran for some fun dog photography adventures!
Read MoreKara was one of our wonderful dog models at Unleashed Workshop in Arrowtown, and I loved her look and energy so much I got her back for her very own shoot along Arrowtown River after the workshop, as we were lucky to stay for a few extra days.
Read MoreI thought it was time to share few of my favourite images from this year's Style Lab Retreat in Iceland in September/October. What an incredible landscape, so full of raw and rugged beauty! Our photography sessions took place against awe-inspiring backdrops: powerful waterfalls, surreal black sand beaches, a towering glacier, and the intriguing geology of lava fields.
Read MoreLet's rewind to Autumn this year, in beautiful Arrowtown, New Zealand. Craig and I had finished up teaching at Unleashed Workshop but hadn't had enough of shooting with those incredible autumn backdrops, so we met up with some of our favourite models for some extra shoots!
Read MoreBonnie could quite possibly be the happiest dog I have ever photographed. She clearly loves life, her mum, the beach, and well… everything and everyone! Abandoned at eight years old and ending up at the RSPCA shelter in Alice Springs, Peta discovered her there and after a couple of visits, adopted her.
Read MoreGolden Retrievers – every one I meet makes me fall in love with the breed even more – and these two were no exception! Meet Daisy Mai and her foster-brother-turned-actual-brother Ollie B.
Read MoreAmber first contacted me back in 2010 to enquire about a photo session in Sydney. Three years later, everything finally came together when I visited Canberra. Amber and her husband Daniel along with their two Toy Poodles Cocoa and Bella trundled into the car and made the trek for their session.
Read MoreThese two little bundles of fluff were so worth getting up at 5am for! It was pretty cloudy on the way over and stayed that way for about half the session, so we were blessed with lots of soft light, perfect for puppies.
Read MoreFrom the moment I read Archie’s questionnaire results, I knew he was going to be heaps of fun to photograph! This boy has done doggy dancing, obedience and rally-o and is a super stunning three year old Shetland Sheepdog.
Read MoreIt felt as though obsessively checking the weather forecasts and weather radar was my main pastime during my Canberra visit! I had booked in four shoots over five days and hoped that I’d be able to shuffle around the shoots if there was any cloudy or rainy weather forecast.
Read MoreMy first Canberra session was with Boris and Matilda, two Great Danes who are lucky enough to live out in the country, with a huge paddock to romp and play in! And play they did, chasing each other around with much abandon.
Read MoreThe second of my sessions booked for beautiful Mackay, I was really looking forward to meeting the fabled Clive! He’s owned by one of my good friend’s partner’s sister (follow that?) and I’d already been privy to some sneaky peek shots of this rather unusual looking boy. I found out later after the DNA test results came in, he’s a Staffy with a little bit of Maltese thrown in – I can definitely see that mix in him!
Read MoreClear blue skies and warm weather greeted me as I flew into Mackay. I soon learned that clear skies can change pretty quickly in this place, but we were lucky enough to have them stick around for our session with...

Read More"Stay right, stay right, stay RIGHT!" I repeated out loud, attempting to drum the instructions into my poor jetlagged brain as I navigated the steep but thankfully mostly empty streets of San Francisco. Pulling into the carpark of the Sports...

Read MoreThe third of my Townsville sessions and the only afternoon session out of them all, I mis-judged the sunset time and arrived when the sun was still quite high in the sky. The best light is when the sun is...
