Note to future clients – early starts are most definitely worth doing! This was another very early session – we kicked off at 4.45am to catch that gorgeous first light.
Molly the Staffy is a gorgeous, well behaved little girl who is lucky enough to have a totally devoted owner who obviously loves her to bits.
She gets regular early morning walks to her favourite park where she can run and sniff and cruise around spreading that famous Staffy smile and cheer everywhere she goes. And what an amazing tongue!
And very cute ears.
After we’d finished our walk through the park, we headed back to Molly’s house and chilled out in her backyard. The patio was nice and cool, a good place to stretch out on a hot morning.
It wasn’t long though, and her energy was back again, ready for a game of tug!
I somehow convinced her that modelling was a career path she should seriously consider.
This is probably my favourite shot of the session.
With this one running a close second. I’m so stoked that Molly’s dad is getting this one as a nice big gallery wrap canvas, I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

I recently attended the Great Dane Society of Queensland Championship Show at Durack in Brisbane to take some photos. They aren’t my usual style of photography but Great Danes are ‘my’ breed so I always enjoy watching them and taking photos so their owners can see how beautiful they are!
For some reason, you don’t often see many brindle coloured Danes, it’s probably about the rarest of the showable colours. This gorgeous guy was the only one in attendance on the day.
Fawns generally dominate the showing scene and this show was no exception.
A beautifully marked harlequin – note the pure white background and glossy black patches that have a ‘torn edge’ appearance.
Speaking of glossy black!
The baby puppies are always entertaining to watch, this one was very well behaved and stood nicely while the judge examined her.
Another pretty puppy in black along with one of my favourite fawn girls.
The dogs have to show how well they move as part of the judging process, this girl was flying along and looked amazing.
To finish off, another harlequin. This was her first show back after giving birth to 11 puppies!
For more information about this show, please see the results here and a gallery of all photos here.

These two beautiful Boxers made a stunning pair and were so fun to work with. Garvin, the dark brindle boy, would do anything for food and they both pulled the most hilarious faces in true Boxer form.
The beautiful Blaise had been battling cancer and had recently had a few lumps removed. Despite this she looked great, you would never have guessed!
Unfortunately, Blaise lost her battle with cancer shortly after our photo session. I am so happy though that I managed to create some beautiful photos to remember her by for her loving owner.
Run free, beautiful girl.
