If you’ve been following me for a while you might remember we used to have a little Jack Russell cross called Archie, who we lost to a tick a couple of years ago. He and Luna were best buddies and though she gets along fine with Araya the cat, who we adopted last year from Pets Without Partners, we’ve been wanting to add another dog to complete our furry family for a while now. I must admit I fell in love with the Australian Shepherd breed after photographing a few of them – I love their energy and sense of fun and adventure – their trainability and just how gorgeous they are in general!

Model Session ~ Layla the Chocolate Labrador Retriever in Brisbane

When I received Layla’s application for my dog model database, I just knew I had to meet her. Although still a puppy at the time of applying, her mum Lisa assured me she already met all the criteria.

Bare Bones Session ~ Kira the Siberian Husky Puppy

You may remember the rather epic shoot I had with a pack of four stunning Siberian Huskies – Amber, Alaska, Dakoda and Kiah. Just a few weeks after our shoot in the pine forest, I received the news that beautiful Kiah had unexpectedly passed away after returning from a trip down to the snow. As the much loved original member of the pack, I know that she must have left a huge hole in the household.

Bare Bones Session ~ Mollie the Groodle puppy in Brisbane

Downy soft hair, needle sharp teeth and the softest ears ever can only mean one thing…. pupppyyyy!!! After Mollie’s Bare Bones Session (the perfect length for puppies), I was lucky enough to get cuddles and nearly bundled her into my car and took off with her! Such a sweetie but with lots of spunk too, the perfect puppy package.

Client Session ~ Bam Bam the Golden Retriever at the Gold Coast

Golden Retrievers rank very highly on my list of favourite breeds. They always have the loveliest temperaments, with that perfect mix of fun, goofy and when they get older; chilled and wise. At eight months old on the day of our shoot, Bam Bam was at that awkward stage between puppy and adult – just starting to look like an adult but still with a lot of puppy silliness!

Travel Session ~ Mischa & Teddy the Puppies in Canberra

These 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.

Client Session ~ Logan the German Shepherd mix at the Gold Coast

At the time of our shoot back in August 2013, Logan the German Shepherd cross was just six months old. Based on how BIG his legs and paws were at that age, I predicted he was going to be a big boy. Having seen him since I certainly wasn’t wrong!

On-Location Client Session ~ Zada and Zeus in Toowoomba

My first session in Toowoomba was a blast from the past, as the client was actually an old neighbour and friend of mine. We met back in about 2004 when I was living on the Gold Coast. Back then, Hayley...

Client Session ~ Angus the Great Dane and Rocky the Mini Foxy x Chihuahua

Angus and Rocky’s mum Patrina was the hard working recipient of the second prize in my Bark Stars Dog Photo Competition I ran in March this year. She managed to rack up a huge 378 votes and won herself a $200 gift voucher to use with Charlotte Reeves Photography.
