This lucky boy gets to spend almost all day with his beloved mum, and their resulting bond is really obvious from the moment you meet them! Marley is a one year old Border Collie who lives on the Gold Coast.
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 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 MoreThese four beautiful Siberian Huskies aren’t just incredibly good looking, they also do dry land gig racing with Northern Exposure Gig Racing Club Inc. Soon after our session, they all headed off down south to the snow where they had a ball sled racing at the annual Sled Dog Challenge – enjoying the cold white stuff, totally in their element.
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 MoreOne of my favourite places to shoot is the pine forests around the Glass House Mountains, north of Brisbane. I have a few other pine forest locations around south east Queensland in my location guide, but this one is by far the most beautiful!
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 MoreDowny 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.
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 MoreJust before Christmas in 2013, I had the pleasure of hanging out with the lovely Alyssa and her two pups at her beautiful Gold Coast hinterland home. I had the best time with lots of laughs! I swear that dogs have a sense of humour, and Yogi the Golden Retriever is quite the comedian!
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 MoreI first met Turbo on one of my regular visits to the Peninsula Animal Aid shelter to take photos of the dogs available for adoption. Though I didn’t get around to taking his picture that day, I remember seeing him through the bars of his run and thinking what a gorgeous looking dog he was and that surely, he’d have no trouble finding a new home.
Read MoreAs soon as I saw Bert’s application for my commercial model database, I just knew I had to meet him! It’s no secret that I love big dogs, and I’d never had the opportunity to photograph a Dogue de Bordeaux before. New Farm Park is a pretty challenging location so I like using it to test out potential commercial models.
Read MoreAmber first contacted me back in 2010 to enquire about a photo session in Sydney. Three years later, everything finally came together when I visited Canberra. Amber and her husband Daniel along with their two Toy Poodles Cocoa and Bella trundled into the car and made the trek for their session.
Read MoreThese 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.
Read MoreFrom the moment I read Archie’s questionnaire results, I knew he was going to be heaps of fun to photograph! This boy has done doggy dancing, obedience and rally-o and is a super stunning three year old Shetland Sheepdog.
Read MoreMy session with Blackie and Yoyo would have to be one of my most sunshine-filled yet! Right from the start we had some gorgeous warm afternoon light to play with.
Read MoreAt 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!
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 MoreWhen I received Ruby's commercial model application, I knew I had to meet this beautiful young Koolie. Here's what her mum had to say about her: "Ruby absolutely loves attention and being involved in whatever we are doing, hence she is...
