Frequently Asked Questions

Your complimentary $450 Ragamuffin Gift Certificate covers our session fee and also includes a $200 Print Credit.
We do ask for a small $50 reservation fee to secure your session time/date. This ensures our limited spots go to committed participants (and avoids no-shows/ last minute cancellations for us).
The reservation fee is fully refundable if you attend your Session Reveal and decide not to purchase anything — or simply credited towards your order if you do.
Thank you so much for understanding!
Photoshoots are available on Saturdays & Sundays over the next three months.
We photograph in beautiful, dog-friendly outdoor locations around Melbourne and Victoria: St Kilda, Williamstown, Eltham, Lilydale, Sorrento, Mornington and Geelong.
Fine art prints and high-resolution Master Files start at $195, wall art from $495, and albums from $1250.
We also gift you a free matching social-media sized digital file for any printed portraits.

Photos are never impossible — we work with dogs of all personalities, and we’re here to make the experience as stress-free as possible.
Some of our go-to strategies:
✔ Using a long zoom lens so we can photograph from a distance
✔ Choosing a quiet time of day and on-leash locations so we can avoid other dogs
✔ Working at your dog’s pace—there are no time limits!
Nope! Trust me, we’ve seen it all—zoomies, zero recall, sitting for a grand total of 0.5 seconds. It’s all part of the fun and every session is tailored to the dog.
We use treats, toys, and loads of patience, and since leads can be edited out, they don’t even need to sit still! There is no such thing as "too crazy" when it comes to a Ragamuffin photoshoot!
Yes — we’d love that! While we’ll focus on the featured breed for the series, we’re always happy to include your other dogs in a few extra portraits during the session. Just let us know how many furry family members you have when you apply.

Hi there! I’m Caitlin – founder of Ragamuffin Pet Photography.

I started Ragamuffin 15 years ago, inspired by my scruffy rescue pup, Lyra. Today, we’re proud to be recognised as one of Australia’s top animal portrait studios, with a small team of expert, dog-loving photographers working across Melbourne and Victoria.

We specialise in natural portraits with a patient, stress-free approach. Since 2010, we’ve photographed thousands of happy dogs — and raised over $200,000 for animal rescue!

So thank you — truly — for supporting this little business with a big heart. We’re so glad you’re here.
