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!

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!

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.

Phoebe has "Princess Di" eyes nailed

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