WHERE DO PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?

Dog and family photography sessions take place outdoors in beautiful natural settings such as parks, beaches or urban locations carefully selected to suit your style and your pet’s personality. This is one of the things we discuss during the pre consultation. Dog photography can also take place in your home. 

Cat photography sessions are typically held in the comfort of your cat’s home, unless your kitty is comfortable on a leash and accustomed to being outdoors.

Animal safety is always our top priority. Every session is planned with your pet’s comfort, well-being and security in mind.

MY CAT IS AN INDOOR CAT ONLY. CAN I STILL HAVE THEM PROFESSIONALLY PHOTOGRAPHED ?

Absolutely!

Most of the cats I photograph - and I’ve photographed many - are captured in the comfort of their own home.

This allows them to feel safe, relaxed and confident in familiar surroundings, which leads to more natural and expressive portraits.

WHAT IF MY DOG IS ANXIOUS? CAN MY DOG STAY ON LEASH THROUGHOUT THE SESSION ?

​If you have an anxious dog this is something we can chat about during your pre-session consultation. We can plan the best approach - safety and comfort is paramount.

We won't rush the session and will always work with your dog and allowing plenty of time for them to get to know me and the environment.

We want your dog to enjoy the experience and don't worry, your pup can stay on leash. Around 95% of dogs I photograph are on leash and it is then removed in the editing process. Animal safety is paramount. 

DO YOU TRAVEL FOR PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS?

I sure do. I travel across Victoria to photograph pets and their people and have worked regularly in areas such as Geelong, the Surf Coast, Ballarat and the Bellarine Peninsula.

I’ve travelled as far as Violet Town and Maryborough and have even photographed pets interstate in Queensland.

A travel fee applies for locations more than 50km from Melbourne’s outer western suburbs.

If you're unsure whether your location falls within this range, feel free to reach out for a personalised quote.

CAN HUMAN FAMILY MEMBERS JOIN IN SOME PHOTOS WITH THEIR PETS?

Absolutely! This is highly encouraged.

WHY ARE YOU MORE EXPENSIVE THAN SOME OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO CHARGE $100 FOR ALL THE DIGITAL FILES?

We offer more than just a quick photo session. We're committed to providing a safe, professional experience and creating timeless, high-quality artwork that celebrates your pets and family in a way that’s both meaningful and will last a lifetime. 

Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. 

Running a legitimate, professional photography business is a commitment. It involves continuous investment in the business, equipment, education, paying tax and insurance and essential infrastructure.  We're not hobbyist's with a camera - we are professional's with the experience to work with your pets in a calm, respectful, and secure way. And like any other job, we need to be paid so we can pay our bills. 

Every image is individually hand-edited, never batch-processed or treated with generic presets. 

Working with professional labs, we produce beautiful, long-lasting products - not cheap prints that fade or distort color over time.

I understand that budget is a consideration when choosing a photographer, but it’s also important to understand what you’re truly investing in.

Cheaper options may seem appealing, however they often lack the experience and product quality that truly matter.

I recently spoke with someone who had chosen a budget photographer for a meaningful, multi-generational session. Unfortunately, the results fell far short of expectations and now they’re having to invest even more to have the session redone professionally with the quality and care it truly deserves.
