By my calculations I have photographed close to, if not more than one hundred dogs this year in Melbourne and New Zealand. So you can imagine what a hard task it was to pick some of my favourites. I hope you enjoy this small selection of the dogs of 2012!
This shoot was a pretty special one, in that it had to be kept absolutely top secret. My client wanted to surprise her husband for his birthday with some gorgeous shots of his dogs, as well as of his kids. It’s so rare that people want to be in photos with their pets, so it was great to have four wonderful willing subjects. The love they all have for Geordie is so obvious, and he is often referred to as the fifth sibling. Their two other dogs, L and Cookie, are as cheeky as they come and they loved posing – Cookie especially so after she saw the treats.
The bond between this family and their pets is so special, and it was a real honour to do this shoot – enjoy!

I originally met the gorgeous pugs Caulfield and Harold at the Saffron on the Hill open day, and they’ve been waiting all year for their turn in the spotlight. We had one of those hot Melbourne spring days for our photo shoot, so it was tongues out and lots of sitting down (humans and dogs). Harold and Caulfield were joined by their sister Elsie – and I think you’ll agree that they are three super photogenic dogs!
Caulfield is a super cheeky handsome boy with a great smile
Harold loved playing up to the camera – he’s a bit of a poser
The gorgeous Elsie takes some time to reflect on life
All tuckered out

September was a huge month, and it seemed to last a long time – bring on summer I say! The theme for September seemed to be puppies, which is very spring appropriate don’t you think?
I started the month off with a shoot with Oliver – I had photographed him almost exactly a year ago when he was a tiny pup. Now he’s big and strong, but still just as sweet.
I attended the Oscar’s Law rally, which was a fantastic day – being surrounded by thousands of people and dogs, all united for the same cause.
I had a gorgeous shoot out in rural Victoria with the gorgeous little pup Stella and her big brother Boots – this pair were so sweet and charming
And then another puppy of a completely different kind – Cinder the stunning Shiba Inu pup was a joy to work with
We also had a bit of a fashion show at Saffron on the Hill to show off their new Oscar’s Law collars, leads and harnesses
Gus didn’t fancy modelling much so he just lay down and chewed on his toys
I also updated my packaging – nothing like new stationery to make this girl happy
These two are always the highlight of my day
Tragically darling Zach from Saffron on the Hill passed away this month. He went safe and warm in his mother’s arms, and his presence is so notably absent on our visits to the Hill. He was so loved and we will never forget him.
