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.

If you’re looking to book in your little (or big) ones for a shoot this year, click here to email me.
