Frequently Asked Questions
-
What kind of photography do you offer?
I specialise in natural light pet photography, capturing pets outdoors or in your home — no studios or artificial backdrops. Sessions are designed around your pet's comfort and personality.
-
My dog doesn’t sit still… is that a problem?
Not at all! Most of the pets I photograph are playful, active, or a little bit cheeky — it’s totally normal. I’ve trained in animal behaviour and know how to work with all kinds of temperaments. We’ll go at their pace, and I’ll capture them as they truly are.
-
Can my pet stay on-lead during the session?
YES. Absolutely — most pets do! I choose safe locations where leads can be edited out afterward, so your pet can stay safe and relaxed without compromising the final image.
-
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions can be held:
Outdoors at one of Darwin’s many pet-friendly locations
At your home, using natural light — perfect for nervous pets or indoor-loving animals
I’ve created a Location Guide with handpicked spots based on lighting, pet safety, and crowd levels.

Can I be in the photos too?
Yes! While the focus is on your pet, you're always welcome to step in for a few portraits together — these often become some of the most treasured images.
-
What if it rains or the weather is bad?
No stress — we’ll reschedule to the next available date that works for both of us. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first.
-
How long does the session take?
30-minute sessions are short and sweet — ideal for high-energy or anxious pets.
1-hour sessions offer more time to explore, play, and capture a variety of images.
Event and branding sessions vary — I’ll chat with you about the time needed when you enquire.
-
What happens after the session?
You'll be invited to an image reveal appointment, where you’ll view your images and choose your favourite products. I’ll guide you through options — from framed wall art to albums and digital collections.
-
How much does it cost?
Your session fee covers our shoot and image reveal appointment.
Artwork and digital images are purchased separately — you only buy what you love.
Payment plans are available to make things easy. -
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes — interest-free payment plans are available on all artwork and digital collections. You can split your total over 2–4 months, with no added fees.
-
Can I buy a session as a gift?
Absolutely! Gift certificates are available in any amount and make a thoughtful gift for pet lovers. They’re beautifully presented and valid for 12 months.
-
What animals do you photograph?
While most of my sessions are with dogs, I’m happy to photograph cats, birds, and other pets too — just get in touch and we’ll plan a session that works for them.
-
My pet is messy / scruffy / anxious — should I wait?
No need to wait for the “perfect time.” I’ve worked with pets of all ages, quirks, and grooming schedules. Your pet is perfect as they are — and I promise you’ll love the photos that reflect their true personality.
