Just before lockdown here in Brisbane a couple of weeks ago, we managed to sneak in a shoot with gorgeous Buddy here and his devoted family. It's pretty safe to say Buddy is the centre of their world - he even has his own little cart to get pulled around in when his 14 year old legs get tired on those longer bush walks.
Read MoreHappy first birthday to our (not so) wee man, Enzo! I wasn't sure how a third Aussie would fit in to our very closely bonded Fletcher + Opal duo, but almost from the very start he endeared himself to both and now we couldn't imagine life without him!
Read MoreHappy 6th birthday to my main man Fletcher today! On a recent trip to the forest to take some photos, he proved again why he's my #1 when it comes to modelling. Look at this guy go! He might be getting older but like fine wine, he only gets better. What a star!
Read MoreIt's a magical time of year to be shooting here in Brisbane, with perfect weather and everything still looking lush after a wet summer. The pine forest was looking especially nice last week, especially with the addition of this gorgeous gal - Roxy!
Read MoreIf you follow Woof Town you may recognise this handsome guy - it's Strider the Vizsla! He goes on regular doggy adventures with dog walker extraordinaire (and my sometime assistant) Mads. I just love the photos take she takes of her adventure buddies having fun out and about, so when Strider's parents booked him in for a photo session with me, I was SO excited to work with this fun-loving fella!
Read MoreJust a fun little "behind the scenes" peek into what goes on at a dog photography session at the beach, with Ben the Border Collie and Juniper the Australian Shepherd.
Read MoreSo at the start of a brand new year, and decade, I’m looking back at the year that was 2019. While I’m not great at blogging events and news as it happens, I find these wrap-up posts to be a helpful introspective exercise, as well as a great way to keep all my followers updated about what I’ve been up to throughout the previous year.
Read MoreThe last time I wrote a yearly wrap-up was in 2015 (which was a pretty eventful year) but since then, I’ve been so time poor due to various projects, the next couple of years missed out.
Towards the end of 2018, with my workload finally starting to ease, I vowed to get this written and even though it’s now two weeks into 2019 – I figured better late than never!
Read MoreThis was my first official session of the year here – meet Lulu! Only 5 months old, Lulu is a Dogue de Bordeaux cross and is Briana’s pride and joy. Her family has always had Mastiffs and when she saw Lulu’s litter she knew instantly Lulu was the one for her.
Read MoreWho else is loving these amazing bursts of purple we have at this time of year - our stunning Brisbane Jacaranda trees? 😍I did some location scouting with my furry terrors yesterday afternoon and found the perfect spot for a Jacaranda-inspired photo shoot.
Read MoreThough most of my sessions take place in the afternoon - in that magical hour or so before sunset - I do occasionally drag myself out of bed before sunrise and shoot mornings sessions as well. And by morning, I mean - the crack 'o dawn!
Read MoreIt 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!
Read MoreAbout a month after losing their family dog - a Mastiff / Bull Arab cross - Connie took her family to visit their local pet rescue shelter. Just for a look, of course! They ended up bringing home two 6 week old sibling foster pups. Benji’s sweet, happy and fun-loving temperament (along with his fat little roly-poly body and cute face) meant foster failure was inevitable.
Read MoreA huge thank you to all my wonderful clients in 2017! I had my last shoot for the year yesterday and am looking forward to some time off in the coming weeks – it’s been a huge year! This year was my 10th year of Charlotte Reeves Photography – a business that has been dedicated to specialising in pet photography from the very start.
Read MoreProblem: What do you get your favourite dog lover for Christmas? You know the one. They have all the latest fashion leads, harnesses, collars and bandanas, all the best enrichment toys, designer dog beds, treat pouches, dog gadgets and accessories.
Read MoreIt was third time lucky for my shoot with Mia and Ella who had come all the way from Eidsvold (about 5 hours from Brisbane) for their session with their mum and dad – Sarah and Daniel. Our first session was rained out, then on the second try the skies were shrouded in heavy cloud. On the third attempt we were blessed with clear blue skies and sunshine – the absolute perfect weather for me to create my sunlit style!
Read MoreAfter nearly ten years of being in business as a professional pet photographer, I’ve heard so many stories of people not getting around to booking a session, only to regret it later. There are always reasons they didn’t book… I think I’ve heard them all! I’d like to share the most common reasons here so you know you’re not alone. Also, the reasons why those reasons suck.

Read MoreFollowing on from my personal wrap-up of 2015 – here’s some of my favourite shots taken at client shoots and mentoring sessions from 2015. For aspiring pet photographers who like to see lens and exposure specs, I’ve included them on all photos for you. All photos were taken with my Canon 1D-x camera body and all use 100% natural light.
Read MoreReflecting upon the past year, I am grateful for another wonderful year of being in business, following my dream as a pet photographer. It was an eventful year for me personally as well, so in addition to a Best of 2015 post with all my favourite client images I thought I’d share a little personal insight into my year.
