When 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 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 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 MoreLast year I attended the brand new Logan Million Paws Walk (see the photos here) which was heaps of fun, but when this year’s walk rolled around I had the opportunity to have a stall at my local Samford walk, so I jumped at the chance! Samford is just 5 minutes down the road from me so this was very convenient and gave me the opportunity to meet lots of locals and their dogs.
Read MoreStaffies 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!
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 MoreAnother consolation prize winner from my 4000 fans promotion on Facebook in late 2013, Mikayla decided to use her $100 credit voucher towards a Bare Bones session for her special boy Diesel. Here’s what she had to say about Diesel in the questionnaire: “Diesel was one of the last puppies left in his litter and no one wanted him because he did not have a tail. When we first saw him we loved him and knew he had to be ours.”
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 MoreBefore Christmas I was chatting with Kay, the owner of one of my model dogs, after a mentoring session when she mentioned she’d soon be starting up a boutique pet store in Auchenflower. My ears pricked up at this news…
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 MoreI’d known the owner of JayJay for a number of years, so when he contacted me to book a session with his and his sister’s Border Collies, I was delighted! JayJay and Milo are brothers from the same litter and the best of friends, both living on the Gold Coast, and just about to turn four years old.
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 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.
