Fathers Day Mini Sessions

August 15, 2012 by Erin | 0 Comments

Buying for men is tricky, and for some reason it’s even harder for Dads! I tend to panic buy – I actually bought my poor Dad a pair of socks once – from Woolworths. So this year I’ve put together a mini session package that will take the stress out of gift buying for the pet loving man in your life, whether it be for your Dad, Step-Dad, fur baby Dad or just an awesome guy who loves his dog.

The mini session would make an amazing surprise gift – who wouldn’t love to be surprised with gorgeous images of their dog (or cat)? Book before the 27th of August in order to have the photos ready by Father’s Day.

The package costs $160 and includes

  • A one hour mini session
  • An 11×14 print
  • An in-person viewing and ordering session

Numbers are strictly limited, to book a spot  email me today. Please also take the time to read my terms and conditions below

Terms and conditions

  • Session must be paid for at the time of booking
  • Session does not include any digital files, these can be purchased separately
  • Mini sessions are valid for Melbourne and surrounding areas only. Please note that anywhere further than 50k from the CBD will attract an additional travel fee.

Pawfection

August 13, 2012 by Erin | 1 Comment

Pet photography, to me, is about capturing all aspects of your pet. I love find new ways to show your pet, and during a shoot I’ll often photograph the little details – ears, nose, tails. But my favourite detail shots are nearly always the paws. There’s just something so lovable about a little paw, resting on your leg as if to say “I’m here! It’s all going to be ok”. So today is a round up of paws, scruffy ones, round ones, and funny ones.

Otis might have a career as a paw model

Bentley has the cutest little back legs and paws

Connor’s paws are of the fluffier variety

Paws + tongue = perfection!

Ready for your own pet portrait session? Email me to book for spring. All sessions booked before the end of September receive a $100 print credit

The Gag Reel

August 12, 2012 by Erin | 0 Comments

With pet photography, I often shoot in “burst” mode, about five or six shots at once to make sure I nail the photo. Every now and then I’ll snap a frame that has me in absolute hysterics. I work really hard to capture certain expressions during a shoot so it’s so great when you get something completely unplanned and unexpected. I’ve been saving them for a blog post for a while now – one day I’ll hopefully have enough for a book.  I hope these bring a smile to your face like they do to mine.

 

Percy the Chihuahua – be very afraid!

Tom the Poodle has had a looooong day

Otis the mini foxie is having a tough time

Grandma Giggles had a hard time keeping her outfit from falling over her face. I loved this one so much I’ve got it hanging in my office

Little PK the Griffon gets caught mid head shake

Scrumpy is not letting out an almighty howl, I think he was just starting a yawn

And finally – my boys and their tongues

Seventeen years young

August 7, 2012 by Erin | 0 Comments

In my experience, senior dogs tend to be chilled out and a bit slower than young dogs. Not Otis (or Oti as he’s often called) – he’s an old boy but has the energy of a puppy. Oti’s mum has had him since she was ten years old, and he’s lived an adventurous life, having lived in both the Gold Coast and Tauranga before settling in Wellington, New Zealand.

Wellington turned on the charm weather wise (a rare occurrence), so we headed to the park for some shots, where Otis had a great time ruining his mum’s grooming. So it was home for a quick bath before he finally fell asleep on his bean bag.

Photographing senior pets is always such an honour, it makes me so happy to know that their owners will have beautiful photos for years to come. Ready to book a Pet Portrait session for your senior pet? Email me on erin@erinmcnulty.com. I’m currently taking bookings for spring/summer in Melbourne and expressions of interest for summer sessions in New Zealand.

Otis

August 5, 2012 by Erin | 1 Comment

Otis is seventeen year old mini fox terrier who you would swear is half his age. Pet photography in Wellington, in fact any outdoor activities in Wellington are at the mercy of the elements, but today the weather was stunning and warm. I’ll have Otis’ full session a bit later on in the week. If you live in Wellington and are interested in having a professional pet photography session, send me an email on erin@erinmcnulty.com. I travel back to NZ several times a year and would love to create some gorgeous photos for you on my next visit!
