Deluxe Session ~ Bella the Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Staffies would have to be one of the most popular breeds in Australia, so as you’d expect I’ve photographed quite a few of them. Bella would have to be one of the most active though. This girl was ALL about her ball – or whatever toy you have on hand to throw for her, including her colour-coordinated purple Kong!

Deluxe Session ~ Kobe and Tuskyn in the Glass House Mountains

One 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!

Client Session ~ Nita & Turbo the Husky mixes in Brisbane

I 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.

Model Session ~ Bert the Dogue de Bordeaux at New Farm Park, Brisbane

As 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.

Travel Session ~ Mischa & Teddy the Puppies in Canberra

These 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.

Client Session ~ Clive the Staffy Maltese Mix in Mackay

The 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!

Client Session ~ Holly & Russell the Australian Cattle Dogs

Looking at Holly, you wouldn't guess she's close to 16 years old! I just love the older dogs as they always seem so wise and in tune with the ways of the world. They seem to have everything sorted and know...
