Phoebe, Connor, and Merrick – New Zealand Pet Photography

May 21, 2012 by Erin | 0 Comments

Although Melbourne is my home, I travel back to New Zealand regularly. On my last trip, I was fortunate enough to photograph Nick’s beautiful pets – his two gorgeous Dachshunds, Phoebe and Connor, plus their tabby companion Merrick. Phoebe is a sweet gentle soul, with the most lovely quiet nature. Connor is the feisty one, and he just adores his playmate. He also has a wonderful curly coat and fantastic little tail. Merrick is a gorgeous big tabby boy, with incredible eyes and a very tolerant nature. I loved this shoot because I had three very different personalities to capture, and switching between super energetic dogs and a very placid cat made for a great experience.

Their owner Nick writes the awesome blog, Four Legs Good. Every Friday he does a fantastic round up of reader’s photos – it’s one of the highlights of my week! They also have a Facebook page, so head on over and have a look through the photos, they are guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

I travel back to New Zealand at least twice a year, so if you’re in Auckland or Wellington and interested in having a photoshoot next time I’m there, just send me an email.

As always, thanks for reading – I hope you have a fabulous week

I first met Ben and Kirsten at the Saffron on the Hill Open Day back in March. They were there with Teddy and Bear, the mum and dad of the group.When Kirsten asked me to come and photograph their fur family of seven I jumped at the chance – it’s not every day you get to photograph such a large group. Kirsten and Ben were fantastic during the shoot, helping me wrangle the pups and distracting them from the camera with treats.

We spent a couple of hours trying to coax them to stand together long enough for a group shot, and we were just about to admit defeat when all of a sudden they all decided to sit down – the result was well worth the wait.

These gorgeous pups are all Pug x Shih-tzu, apart from dad Teddy who’s all pug. They are so well cared for and sweet natured, the shoot was an absolute pleasure – and even camera shy Junior came round in the end. First up, meet the gang!

Teddy is the dad of the group, and being a pug he LOVES his food

Bear, the Mum with wonderful ears

Junior was shy at first, but soon broke out the smiles

Cookie was the serious one of the bunch

Little Bear was also a little charmer

Princess definitely lived up to her name!

Patch with a gorgeous little smile

After the individual shots were done, we decided to get them all into the car to try a group shot. While we didn’t get all seven, we did get some fantastic group shots which I think sum up dogs in cars very well – pure joy!

And finally, the shot I love the most – all seven in one place!

Thanks for reading everyone! Next week I’ll have Pheobe, Connor and Merrick to show you – two gorgeous dachshunds and their tabby friend.

New Website!

May 16, 2012 by Erin | 0 Comments

I’ve been meaning to upgrade my website for months now, but kept putting it off. Thanks to my IT department (my partner Jeremy) I now have my blog and site all in one place.

In addition to a new site, I’ve also changed my pricing slightly. Click here to have a read and see what’s on offer. Please note, this pricing will apply to all sessions booked from today – if you already have a session booked the price will not change.

If you’d like to book a session before winter really hits, I’ve still got times available on the 26th and 27th of May. Click here to send me an email.

And with that I’ll leave you with this pretty picture of autumn leaves – a sight that’s becoming rarer as the days tick over into winter

Chewy and PK

April 17, 2012 by Erin | 1 Comment

I couldn’t wait to share a few photos from my fun filled weekend session. Chewy and PK are Brussels Griffins, of the Petit Brabançon variety (ooh la la!). They are such a wonderful breed, full of beans but also super cuddly. Chewy is a sweet boy who knows how to sit and lie down beautifully, and naughty little PK has an adorable little cleft lip – which she often like to poke her tongue through! They were so great in front of the camera, and I had a great time – enjoy!
