After 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 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 MoreLocated in north west Brisbane, this spot is great for most dogs, especially very nervous or unsocial dogs as there are often no other people or dogs around on weekdays (location is not available on weekends).
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!
Read MorePepper the Westie is a popular kinda gal, in fact, if you mix in dog circles you might already be a member of her fan club! Pepper shot to fame a couple of years ago when she won the Virgin Australia Velocity Frequent Flyer Official Pet Ambassador (how’s that for a long title!) competition.
Read MoreWhen a love for big dogs and a love of running combined, the obvious breed of choice for Karla was a Cane Corso. Closely related to the Neapolitan Mastiff, the Cane Corso is well muscled and athletic, but not as bulky as some of the other mastiff breeds.
Read MoreI spent a lovely afternoon at the beach with Marjorie and Malcolm and their two Miniature Schnauzers, Heidi and Millie. We nearly postponed the session due to the cloud hanging around but in the end went ahead anyway and were rewarded with a beautiful sunset!
Read MoreAs thanks for your ongoing support and to celebrate reaching 5,000 likers, I’ve decided to run a giveaway. Not just any giveaway, but my best giveaway yet!
Read MoreMeet Holly, Lola, Rosa and Sophie. All rescues and all very much loved by their devoted mum Heidi and dad Tony.
Read MoreWhen deciding on the breed of dog to add to my family years ago, I very nearly settled on a Greyhound. I met some at a Gold Coast pet event who were doing their bit to help promote Greyhound adoption through a rescue organisation called Friends of the Hound. I fell in love with their gentleness and sensitivity – these dogs have the most amazing soft temperaments and contrary to what some might assume, make excellent pets.
Read MoreAt the grand opening of Auchenflower pet supply store Chew Chomp and Chill, we held a lucky door prize draw and Trish was the winner of the Bare Bones Session I offered up as a prize. Choosing just one of her many pets, which include 5 dogs, 2 cats, 3 rats, 6 chooks and 2 fish (!!) was hard, but she settled on her special little Beagle boy Humphrey as it was soon to be his first birthday. What a great birthday present!
Read MoreYou’d never guess that Grace, Albert and Ruby are all well into their senior years – they have so much poise and not a smidgen of their age shows! Though Grace and Albert have been blessed with a life of luxury, Ruby was rescued from a puppy farm just a few years ago. I had a fantastic afternoon in the company of these lovely dogs (and their even lovelier mummy Kimbra).
Read MoreThis one has been a long time in the planning with lots of re-scheduling due to weather, but we finally got it together and Mooky had his Bare Bones session at the Spit on the Gold Coast. As often happens after rescheduling numerous times due to weather, we were treated to absolutely perfect weather on the day, almost as a reward for our patience!
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 MoreTo say I am excited about these new albums would be an understatement! I have been searching for the perfect lay-flat, magazine-style album to offer my clients for a while now and when I came across these new release albums from my supplier, I just had to order some samples to see if they were as beautiful as I suspected.
Read MoreStacey was lucky enough to receive a gift certificate from her partner Brad for her birthday. He must be very in tune with exactly what she values in her life, as Stacey really loves her two dogs Mia and Ollie and it was the perfect gift for her!
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 MoreI've been working with EzyDog for a few years now, and every time we come together to collaborate on our next shoot, I know it's going to be a whole lot of fun! We put a model call out early...
