Pet Photography
in Gippsland & the Mornington Peninsula
Celebrating the dogs and cats who turn ordinary days into unforgettable moments.
You love the zoomies, the cuddles, the muddy paws — and you want to remember all of it. Maybe you worry they’re too energetic, a little anxious, or starting to slow down with age.
That’s where I come in.
I help pet parents capture every quirk, every burst of joy, every quiet cuddle, so you can see their personality shining through in portraits and artwork that become part of your home — and your story.
Your pet’s personality, captured beautifully
Instead of trying to get a perfect “sit and stay” we focus on the little things that make your pet — and your bond — unique. That might look like:
A playful run along Royal Beach, ears flapping and paws kicking up sand
Quiet snuggles on the couch, your cat curled up in the sun while you read nearby
Kids and the dog splashing together in the rockpools at Cape Patterson
Tug-of-war or zoomies in the backyard with your puppy, laughter and tails flying in every direction
Crossing the river in the 4WD near Thompson Dam
These aren’t just photos — they’re memories you’ll return to again and again. The energy, quirks, and little details tell the story of your pet and your life together.
A photo experience as unique as your bond
Every session is tailored to your dog, cat or horse. From a quiet sunrise in Inverloch or Sorrento to a calm evening at The Briars, or curling up at home in a sunlit spot, we create a relaxed experience designed around their energy and quirks.
I’ll gently guide you along the way, offering just enough direction so you feel confident, while letting the playful antics, quiet cuddles, and little details unfold naturally.
We’ll choose locations that work for your dog too — not just the places they love, but at a time that offers the best light, minimal crowds, or even private spots where they can run free without distractions.
And if your dog needs to remain on-leash, don’t worry — it can be easily removed in Photoshop so every photo feels natural.
“You listened to what I wanted in my photos and made it a really relaxing time.
You’re very professional but make it fun”
— Rachel F (Client 2016 & 2018)
Their personality, lighting up your home forever
The moments we capture deserve to be seen, felt, and remembered- not only through your phone, but every day.
Imagine a large framed print in your living room that greets you with wagging tails every morning, or a collector book that tells the story of your pet — from muddy paws in the backyard to peaceful naps in the sun.
These keepsakes celebrate their energy, quirks, and the love you share — something you’ll treasure forever.
Together, we’ll tailor a collection for your home, and of course, every image you select for print comes with the matching digital file for your phone background!
