Happy 3rd birthday to Enzo!

I can't believe it, our youngest Aussie is three today. I missed his second birthday as I was away in NZ playing in the snow, so here's two years worth of "best of Enzo" photos to make up for it. Most often referred to as Wee Man or Mr Pickle, Enzo is the laziest of our Aussies, declining to engage in competitive fetch games but always happy to snatch the toy when the others come in close range, proudly bringing it back to us to take the credit.

Happy 7th birthday to Fletcher!

I can't believe it's been 7 years with this guy already. From day one he was Marty's dog and nothing has changed - he is still obsessed with his dad and has to be with him at all times! He has very definite ideas about things and is a real "thinker" - carefully analysing situations and then loudly voicing his opinion or silently protesting.

My first-time experience with the AIPP Qld Epson Professional Photography Awards

It was July 2007. Armed with laminated A4 prints, shiny new business cards and a promotional banner, I first launched my new dog photography business at a local pet event on the Gold Coast. At the time, I had big dreams and high hopes, but no idea my business would grow to the extent it has, nearly 11 years later!

Personal ~ Introducing Fletcher

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!

Levi the Great Dane ~ Fashion Model

This personal project was a collaboration between myself, my good friend Yolanda from fashion blog BNE Style, and model and blogger Aicha from The Fashion Heist, with clothing supplied by designer Jessica Tovey. I’d had the idea of using a dog in a fashion-style themed shoot and what better breed than a Great Dane!
