The best of 2011 | Sydney Pet Photographer

I thought it would be nice to post some of my favourite shots from 2011. That was until I realised how many favourites I have!! The dogs got banished and I ended up on the floor of my office for a few hours with a heap of little thumbnails. It brought me back to my art school days. All that was missing was a light film of spray glue on everything I touched and The Pixies playing in the background! It was fun though – looking back on all the little faces, medium faces and really big faces that I photographed this year. I LOVE MY JOB!

mike hayes - Great collection! I admire your work. Have a great new year!

Steph - wow there are so many great pics, i can imagine how hard it was to pick the favourites. lots of bruno and even a few of my mad hatters :-) can’t wait to see you guys xxx

Tegan - Hmm.. I see quite a few Petey faces in there. :) And Bruno, now I look again!

Petey’s first Christmas | Sydney Dog Photographer

Little Orphan Petey went to his new home last weekend. It was supposed to start with a two week adoption trial, but they said from the outset that a trial wouldn’t be necessary, they’re confident that he’s a keeper. I thought they’d be ringing me after the first night and begging me to take the little tornado of destruction back, but it’s been a week and he seems to be settling in really well! Although I think he was happy to see me, I don’t think he was too happy about all the Christmas props I brought with me!

Sniper dog.

As a little treat for being so good [or should I say massively sad and distracted], he got to have a rumble with Bruno afterwards!

Petey has his own Facebook page now if you’d like to follow his life in his new home > www.facebook.com/PeteyTheWonderDog

Sam - Such a handsome boy! Merry Christmas Petey. My favourite is the shot with Petey wearing the gold ruffled collar with a grassy background and he has one ear up, one ear down but they’re all lovely shots.

Mel Hammonds - Great shots, Ruth! Those expressions are priceless!

Tegan - Lovely photos. So glad Petey found his forever home. :)

Pepper and Gucci | Sydney Dog Photographer

The weather in Sydney recently has been wreaking havoc with my booking schedule. I’ve gotten to a point where I presume I’ll have to reschedule a shoot at least two times before it happens! On Tuesday the sky was totally overcast and it was really windy so I stopped my car on the way to Annandale to confirm that Lisa really wanted to go ahead with Pepper and Gucci’s shoot. She said yes and I’m really glad that she did because photographing two very fluffy Pomeranians in the wind is fun!

Watching them run was probably the highlight of my day!

Gucci is a supermodel in the making. She totally worked the camera!

Nice owners, nice dogs, nice house and nice park – all the vital ingredients for a great session!

Please note that Gucci’s tear stains have been pulled back in some but not all of her photos for this blog post. Naturally they’ll be consistently done in any images that Lisa buys at her ordering session.

Lisa - Love these photos! Especially the ones with the Anzac Bridge in the background.

Victoria Schweiss - You did an amazing job on these. Pepper and Gucci’s owners are gonna be thrilled with them.
