I've just finished editing this session and wow, this would have to go down as one of my favourite sessions ever. The combination of amazing dog (Alis the Malinois is just super), awesome owner (totally up for adventure and all my crazy ideas), the location really turning it on and of course the most important thing - the light co-operating on the day.
Read MoreIs there a happier sight in the world than a wet sandy dog enthusiastically digging a hole at the beach? I think not! I've been loving this Brisbane winter weather and what better place to spend a clear sunny afternoon than at the beach with a girl and her beloved Lab.
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 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 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 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 MoreMickey is agisted in Samford in north west Brisbane on a beautiful horse property. We had access to a couple of different paddocks and spent the afternoon chasing him around, being chased, trying to keep Ruby out of the dam…
Read MorePappy is a super adorable Corgi cross, much loved by his mum Louise. We met at a lovely park in south east Brisbane with lots of space for Pappy to explore – he spent much time sniffing around! Lucky we had some liver treats on hand (his absolute favourite) to lure him back into posing nicely for us.
Read MoreThe brown dog snoozes on the couch. He lives a life of luxury now he’s retired, a far cry from the adventure and excitement of his past as he travelled Australia with his best mate. Today though, fresh adventures await.
Read MoreThe littlest Border Collie puppy huddled in the corner, making herself as small as possible to avoid notice by her litter mates. Why oh why did they pick on her so much? Suddenly, she was plucked from the enclosure and sensing her newfound safety, immediately snuggled into the loving arms of her new mum and dad.
Read MorePizzey Park in Miami is somewhere I’ve been many times with my own dogs when I lived on the Gold Coast. There’s the most beautiful pine forest, a big lake and a little sandy beach, along with lots of other pretty nooks and crannies for photographing dogs.
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 MoreHero's session had been a long time in the planning. His mum Abbey had contacted me in 2012 to discuss booking a session while they were in Queensland in early 2013. Yep that's right, Hero came all the way from...
Read MoreIntroducing - Jack (right) and Roy (left). They are 12 year old Jack Russell x Maltese and yes, they are brothers! They've lived blessed lives with their beloved mum, Sharon, and this is their story. Sharon contacted me urgently in late...
Read MoreI just missed Callie's 4th birthday by four days with this post, but even though it's late - a big happy birthday to you, gorgeous girl! I met up with Callie's mum for our session at what is quickly becoming a...
Read MoreIf you follow my blog and Facebook page, you might be aware that I keep a database of potential canine models, so if I am contacted by a commercial client looking for something specific, I may already have what they...
Read More"I've got something for you to photograph!" was the random text message I received from a friend a couple of months ago. Knowing my friend is into cars and had no pets, I assumed it would be his latest car,...
Read MoreA couple of months ago I ran a Facebook photo competition. Emma entered her Great Dane, Charge, and racked up a very respectable number of votes against some very stiff competition to end up coming seventh. The winner of the...
Read MoreIt’s been a while since I took my own dog, a little Great Dane called Luna, out for a shoot. I am always taking snapshots of her but I am usually so busy shooting everyone else’s dogs, she gets a bit left out when it comes to professional shots!
