This was such a fun session! Coco the Pomeranian had just turned one year old, so his pawrents celebrated with a special doggo birthday cake, Coco-cookies and a photoshoot. He was VERY pleased at all the attention, cuddles and - of course - the icing.

I met beautiful Gordon Setter, Dougal, and his parents for a session at Mt Eliza Regional Park on the Mornington Peninsula. A strikingly handsome fella, we spent the afternoon exploring the park and summer treated us to beautiful sunshine, bright yellow wattle and blue sky, which highlighted Dougal’s shiny black fur perfectly.

I photographed this gorgeous family of miniature poodles at their home in rural Victoria. Black poodle Abby had just given birth to her little puppy Luna, so she was a busy mama during our photoshoot. Brown poodle Tessa is a funny goofball who loves to play and mother/daughter duo Lily and Ruby proudly pranced in front of the camera showing off their toys and enjoying the treats!

This group portrait of the five poodles is actually a montaged photo with six different individual portraits! Check out the blog post to see the separate photos that were combined for the final shot.
