Creating Art for Pets and Their People

Pet Photographer in Albany, Denmark and Mount Barker, WA

I photograph the love, connection, and personality you share with your pet. Not just what they look like, but who they are to you.

Welcome

Our animals are with us for only a chapter of our lives, but they leave a mark that lasts forever.

I photograph the love, connection, and personality you share with your pet, creating artwork for your home that tells their story. Not just what they look like, but who they are to you.

Reviews from pet owners

★★★★★
“Julie was absolutely phenomenal! She was extremely accommodating towards my people reactive dog and let him take his time to get used to and understand what was happening. She had won the hearts of both my boys over immediately. The photos are stunning and she had captured their personalities in every photo.”

“Julie is an incredible professional, talented photographer and clearly just loves animals! She took us through the process so seamlessly and with such care for how both dog and humans were feeling. It was stress free and so much fun! Julie was generous with her time both in her before shoot meet and greet, and on the day; making sure everyone was having fun, whilst also getting the shots she needed. She was amazing with our dog, who can be a little anxious, and won him over in no time, and she also made us feel comfortable on the photo shoot. The photos she took are so beautiful! Cannot recommend this whole experience enough!”

“Absolutely obsessed with the photos I received of Lola 🥹 Julie captured her personality so perfectly, the cheekiness, the sweetness, the way she looks at me… everything. The whole experience felt so relaxed and natural, and somehow she managed to freeze all my favourite little moments with Lola forever. These photos genuinely mean the world to me and are something I’ll treasure forever. If you’re thinking about getting photos done with your dog, I cannot recommend Julie enough 🤍🐾”
