Just a little something to make you smile this hot and sunny Australia day – both Mahogany and Spruce have been adopted! If you are looking to adopt a kitten, Paws and Tails still have lots of beautiful cats and kittens up for rehoming – click here to view them!
One of the things I love about pet photography, is the huge variety of dogs I get to photograph, and I rarely photograph the same breed twice. Melbourne has such a wonderful range of dogs, from the tiniest of Chihuahuas to big goofy Great Danes. Noodle and Baxter the Yorkshire Terriers definitely fell at the tiny end of the spectrum but they are such big personalities – they have no idea that they are so small!
These two pocket rockets were an absolute blast to photograph – they teared around the house as soon as I arrived, wiggled their little tails while they got harnessed, then ran as fast as possible around their local park. Once they had burned off a bit of energy, we came home and they flopped on their mum’s bed – and Baxter did his party trick of hopping into a handbag, apparently he’s done it to many an unsuspecting guest! As I packed up to go, they sprang back up and I managed a few more shots, before they passed out exhausted on the couch. I’m not sure who was more tired, them or me, but we all had an absolute ball and I love the variety of shots we got.

This little girl has come along in leaps and bounds – I’m so proud of her! Every day she gets braver and wants to explore more, and she has even started cuddling up to people who aren’t me! She absolutely adores playtime, and loves to chase Justin B around the house – even if he’s not so keen. She’s going to make a great pet for someone very lucky, so if you think Lucinda is your perfect match, click here to view her Pet Rescue profile.
Whenever I’m editing a shoot, I do it in a way that best reflects the animal’s personality – some dogs burst with colour and vibrancy, and others are a more soft and subtle colour pallete to reflect their gentle nature. With Lucy and Tilly, their elegance, sweetness, and loving natures lent themselves so perfectly to black and white. Greyhounds are such amazing dogs – Lucy and Tilly were so gentle and majestic. Both ex racing Greyhounds, the girls are now living their lives surrounded by complete love. Their owner Joy describes Tilly as “shy at first, a bit reserved, but playful, agile, light as air, my ballerina” and Lucy as “friendly, laid back, very sweet, can be stubborn”.
A special thank you must go to Joy, who won this session through a very generous donation to the Melbourne Pet Ambulance as part of their auction last year. MPA is an organisation that helps transport urgent and non urgent pet patients, as well as caring for many stray, abandoned, and injured animals and wildlife.
