As 2024 draws to a close, it's a perfect time to reflect on the past year for NoelineR Photography.
This year has been a journey of creativity, connection, and compassion, as I've had the privilege of meeting and photographing so many wonderful furbabies, delivering beautiful forever products to loving pet parents, and continuing my mission to support pet rescue causes. Here's a look back at the highlights that made this year so memorable
Meeting and Photographing New Furbabies
One of the greatest joys of my work is the opportunity to meet so many diverse and unique pets. This year, I had the pleasure of photographing many, each with their own personality and charm. Whether it was a quirky kitten with a mischievous streak, a senior dog who still radiated joy, or a playful bird showing off its colorful feathers and cheeky personality, every pet brought something special to the session.
These photo sessions aren’t just about creating beautiful images; they’re about capturing the essence of each pet. Every wag of the tail, every playful pounce, every quiet moment of affection tells a story. This year, I was lucky enough to help families preserve those memories with gorgeous artwork and keepsakes that have become treasured forever reminders of the bond between pets and their humans.
Delivering Gorgeous Forever Products
In 2024, I continued my commitment to delivering exceptional, high-quality products that families can cherish for years to come. It’s always a thrill to see the joy on my customers faces when they receive their artwork - especially when it’s something as meaningful as a portrait of their beloved companion.
Each product is crafted with care and attention to detail. Whether it’s a stunning framed print that will hang proudly in a home, a gorgeous folio box that will sit on your coffee table or a custom album filled with memories of a special pet, I take great pride in knowing these pieces will be passed down for generations, holding sentimental value for years to come.

Pet Rescue Fundraiser: Completing My Second Photography Book
One of the projects that I’m particularly proud of this year is the completion of my second pet rescue fundraiser photography coffee table book, Happy Tails. This book was a year in the making and was created with a lot of love and determination.
It features a collection of heartwarming stories and stunning photos of rescue animals.
The proceeds from the book were donated to Ingrid's Haven, a no-kill cat shelter located in Sunday Creek, Victoria, helping to make a real difference in the lives of animals who need it most.
Completing this project was both a labor of love and a reflection of my commitment to supporting animal welfare. It’s always humbling to see how the power of photography can raise awareness and help give back to the animals that need it.
This was the second photography book project I’ve completed in the last three years, and I’m thrilled to share that, between both books, they have raised over $5,000 for Ingrid's Haven.
Photographing for New Rescues
In 2024 I had the privilege of working with two (new to me) rescue organizations—Starting Over Dog Rescue and Victorian Bull Terrier Rescue
Dedicated to giving animals a second chance at life. I was honored to spend time photographing their dogs, capturing the personalities of pups who are looking for their forever homes.
These rescue shoots are incredibly rewarding because they not only help showcase the animals, but they also serve as a tool to increase adoption rates.
Each photo tells a story, and it’s my hope that the portraits I create help these dogs find the loving homes they deserve.
Exhibiting at the Cat Lovers Festival for the First Time
One of the biggest highlights of 2024 was exhibiting at the Cat Lovers Festival Melbourne for the very first time.
As a lifelong animal lover, it was a dream come true to be part of this amazing event.
For the first time, the Cat Lovers Festival and Dog Lovers Festival were combined into one exciting event. This unique fusion brought together pet lovers from all walks of life, celebrating both our feline and canine companions at the Melbourne Showgrounds.
It was an incredible experience to be part of such a vibrant event, where I had the opportunity to connect with cat owners, showcase my work, and share my passion for capturing the beauty of our feline friends, interacting with a diverse group of people who share a passion for animals.
The energy at the event was infectious, and I left feeling incredibly inspired.
Crossing the Rainbow Bridge: Cherishing the Memories of Beloved Pets
2024 sadly saw the passing of several beloved pets I have had the privilege of photographing in the past. Families had to say goodbye to these beautiful souls, each with their own unique story and personality as they crossed the rainbow bridge.
Whilst their passing was heartbreaking, their families have expressed deep gratitude for the beautiful portraits I had created for them - timeless images that have become treasured keepsakes, capturing the essence of their pets and the special bond they shared.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we look toward 2025, I’m excited to continue the journey of creating meaningful photographs that celebrate the deep bond between people and their pets.
The year ahead is shaping up with exciting plans, and I’m sure more opportunities will arise along the way. There will be plenty more gorgeous furbaby portraits (of course!), and I’m exploring the possibility of another pet rescue project with a fresh approach. I’m also focused on ongoing education that will enhance the pet photography experience and I’m thrilled to announce that NoelineR Photography will be returning to the Cat Lovers Festival for another amazing year.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of my customers, supporters, and the incredible pets who have been part of this journey. Your trust, love, and inspiration are what fuel my passion every single day.
Here’s to a new year filled with even more unforgettable moments and beautiful memories, captured through the lens!
