An Update

This weekend I achieved several things – I caught up on my accounts, I did several loads of washing, and I injured my back. For someone like me who is extremely active, it’s been a harsh lesson.  I run or go to the gym most days,  plus I love playing with the cats, my two have a strange love of being chased down the hallway. Now I’m struggling to sit up for more than five minutes. I admit I’ve never been overly sympathetic to people who complain of sore backs, but oh boy do I get it now! So no gym,running, or photo shoots for me for a couple of weeks while I heal – luckily I have two awesome cats who will happily snuggle up with me on the couch and entertain me. I’m also going to try and limit my computer time, so you might see a few less updates from me.

I’ll be back in action soon, so if you’d like to schedule a shoot for Autumn get in touch today.  Autumn is my favourite season, and a huge relief from the searing dry heat of a Melbourne summer.  Not to mention the light is soft and golden, the weather is perfect, and the leaves turn the most beautiful shades of red and orange – stunning photo shoot conditions.  I’ll also be coming to Wellington, New Zealand a bit later on this year, so if you’d like to register your interest in a shoot send me an email.

A Very Merry Christmas

This year has been more wonderful than I could have ever dreamed, both professionally and personally. I have met the most amazing people and I’ve photographed so many gorgeous cats and dogs, each one unique and special. I’ve been lucky enough to meet some truly inspiring people working in rescue, and I’ve made some great new friends along the way.

This year was also full of personal highlights, including my trip to India, fostering and adopting Justin Bieber, and running a half marathon. I couldn’t have done any of this without the constant, unwavering support from my incredible boyfriend Jeremy. He is my biggest cheerleader and so integral to helping me run my business.

A very merry puggy Christmas

Arthur, the sweetest little Christmas Elf

So to all my fantastic clients, the beautiful team at Saffron on the Hill (especially Karen), everyone who has taken the time to comment on my work, to all of those who work so hard rescuing and rehabilitating animals, and to all of you who I will meet in 2013 – thank you, and please have a magical Christmas and a very happy New Year. I’ll be back on board January 3rd, ready to rock 2013!

The Dogs of 2012

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!

Three Cool Pugs on a Hot Melbourne Day

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

The Best of October

If September’s theme was puppies, October’s theme seemed to be cats. I had the pleasure of photographing the amazing Sushi and Sesame – and I think it’s one of my favourite shoots to date.

Of course, no month is complete without Harry making an appearance

I also wrote about ways that you can get involved with rescue, a subject very close to my heart

And speaking of rescue, Jeremy and I made some wonderful new friends at Saffron on the Hill

Stella and Boots’ owner chose these two beautiful images to be printed onto silk canvas – imagine coming home to these amazing faces every day!

If you’d like to book a session for yourself as a Christmas present, get in touch as soon as possible because there are only a few dates left for the rest of the year! And if you’re looking for some suggestions on what to get your pet loving partner, friend. or family member, have a read of my Christmas post.

I’ve got some awesome sessions to share with you over the next few weeks, including Cinder the Shiba Inu puppy, some gorgeous pugs, and a super secret photo shoot that I did as a surprise birthday gift – so join me over on Facebook to keep up with the latest news.

I’ll leave you with a picture of Arthur – the most car loving dog you’ll ever meet, who is always so sad when it’s over
