When it comes to setting up playdates for your furry friend, there are a few important things to consider to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Here’s our Pawsitively Playful: A Guide to Safe Doggy Playdates.

When it comes to pet photography, location is a crucial factor to consider. The ideal location for a photo shoot depends on the pet's personality and behaviour. For instance, cats may feel more relaxed in their own homes and dogs may need a calm environment if they're easily startled. On the other hand, dogs who love playing in the surf might enjoy a beach photo shoot.

American Psychologist and Art Therapist, Judy Weiser affirms “family portraiture lets Children learn who they are and where they fit”.

Portraits allow little ones to develop their own sense of self-awareness in an intuative way that encourages feelings of love, acceptance and belonging.

I recently contacted Rick from Limeburner Grove Wedding Venue to view their property for pet photo shoots. While Rick was showing me around their gorgeous property, he told me about the history of the property with his two young boys in tow. Rick and his wife Megan have had the property 3 years now.

We have just brought home an 11 week old Giant Schnauzer. He flew in from interstate on Wednesday last week and although it hasn’t quite been a week, he has grown so quickly and we just can’t believe it.

Reggie is a beautiful boy. Last year we were fortunate enough to stop into see the breeder and her dogs on our way up to Qld and again on the way back.

I headed out with my husband Leon and my trusty sidekick and model, Murray to scout for locations to shoot in and around Denmark. We started at the Doggy Park, and we were lucky enough to run into a lady named Robin, who is second Mum to the lovely Percy. Percy and Murray got along from the start and had a great time with each other.

We were fortunate enough to have the very talented Donna from Everyday Dogs at this shoot to assist with dog handling. Donna’s extensive experience with dogs is truly obvious, and very much appreciated. Thank you Donna for your help.

You don’t see many of these dogs around do you? Once referred to and commonly known as The Brittany Spaniel, I was recently informed they are actually not spaniels and these days are just referred to as a Brittany. Apparently they dropped the spaniel part from their name right back in 1982!

The Brittany was bred primarily for bird hunting.

Archie came to me from a model call. He loves Agility at the local Albany All Breeds Dog Club.

This was a fantastic shoot. We went to local hotspot, the stunning Wind Farm in Albany, WA. The day was a stunning day, as the winter seems to want to continue to bleed into spring, nice days are still few and far between! I woke up so excited about the sunshine. All day, it was sunny and warm and the clouds were both puffy and whispy, making for such an awesome sky.
