The Cresp family home has a beautiful gallery wall of framed family photographs decorating the hallway. The only problem? One of their three kids was conspicuously absent from the photos!

Obviously we had to fix this ASAP! We organised a Pocket Session in Williamstown Gardens and now we have two beautiful framed portraits for the hallway, that both include their youngest child (who just so happens to be a six year old Cairn Terrier named Teddy).

I photographed a Sophie in her own backyard on a sunny afternoon last year. Our goal was to create a beautiful, bright portrait of smiley staffy Sophie for her people to hang in their home - something that really captured her sweet personality. She was so excited to show me all around her house and after a good play session with some favourite squeaky toys, she was ready to pose like a total pro!

Our cheeky, inquisitive and gorgeous furkids! Hitchcock is a fetch obsessed dude (anything you can throw that he can fetch works for him!) River loves nothing more than chewing on something, anything will do! They both love to wrestle and play bitey-face with each other. They complete our family - the loves of our lives.

I love Simba so much. He is more than a pet, his is my little boy and best friend. Simba has been with me through the worst, bad and great times. He is spoilt by our whole family, and is protective of us all…

“Smizey is a joyful, energetic dog, with just a dash of couch potato. When we adopted him, he was this little 9-month-old bundle of black who had a ‘ISN’T LIFE JUST WONDERFUL!!!’ joyfulness to him. I pointed my finger to him and said the volunteer, ‘I want some of that!’

Rashford is an adorable toy cavoodle puppy, whose photoshoot was filled with tricks, treats and plenty of cuddles! His shoot was my very first shoot back after the Melbourne lockdown. His parents really, really wanted a puppy photoshoot and luckily it wasn’t too long after they brought Rashy home that we were able to safely organise the shoot. He still had that adorable, roley poley puppy charm!

I first met Boss over seven years ago. His parents, Justin and Hanh, had just adopted a five year old staffy who would very quickly win himself a place in their hearts, home (and bed!).

“Rupert had a photoshoot with Ragamuffin a couple of months back and the results were amazing. Not only was Caitlin delightful to work with, she also had an amazing way of capturing magical moments between Rupert and his human sister, Poppy. To anyone wanting to capture their pets in their natural and happy form, we highly recommend Caitlin. Not only will you receive amazing portraits and images of your loved ones, but also have the most fun on the day itself capturing them in all their greatness.” ~ Ray and Maybel

“So happy to have booked a session with the wonderfully talented Caitlin. She is such a dream to work with - a gorgeous person, superb photographer, super-organised, and our dogs just loved her too.

The framed prints we ended up ordering arrived today and they are everything we had hoped for, and more. We can’t stop smiling every time we look at them.

Thank you again, Caitlin. I don’t know how you do it, but you managed to capture our special relationship with Bastien and Coco, and their unique little personalities so beautifully.

We cannot recommend Ragamuffin Pet Photography highly enough. Simply wonderful.”
