The FAQ
What’s included in the session fee?
Your $195 session fee includes a personalised planning consultation, a 60-minute photography session (either outdoors or at home), and a private online viewing and design appointment. You’ll also receive a complimentary matted fine art print valued at $105.
Artwork and digital images are purchased separately.
Where are you located?
I’m currently based in Geelong & Torquay and work with families across the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula. I also return to the Sunshine Coast several times a year for sessions there, and I’m happy to travel further on request.
Do you travel?
Absolutely. While I’m based in Geelong, I offer sessions within a 25km radius of both Geelong and Mornington Peninsula. If you're located outside these areas, just reach out, I’ll happily provide a personalised quote for travel.
And yes, I still travel back to the Sunshine Coast a few times a year to work with clients there.
What kinds of sessions do you offer?
My Signature Session can be tailored to a variety of special moments, including:
At-home storytelling sessions
Beach or adventure sessions
Puppy milestones
Celebration of life / end-of-life sessions
Motherhood or maternity with your fur baby
If your dog is your world, we’ll create something meaningful to reflect that.
Do I need to worry if my dog doesn’t sit still or stay off-lead?
Not at all. Most of the dogs I photograph are either high-energy, off-lead-challenged, or both! Your session is dog-led and completely relaxed. I work around each pup’s personality to capture natural, beautiful moments without any pressure.
Can I be in the photos too?
Absolutely, and I encourage it. You and your dog are a story worth telling. Whether it’s playful or quiet, we’ll capture the bond you share in a way that feels authentic and heartfelt.
What should I wear for the session?
Whatever makes you feel good — comfort and confidence are key.
That said, neutral and earthy tones tend to photograph beautifully and work best with my editing style. Upon booking, you’ll receive a Preparation Guide with sample styling and helpful tips to make it easy.
If you'd like a little more help deciding, I’m always happy to chat about outfits during our planning call.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
If the weather doesn’t play nicely, we’ll simply reschedule at no cost. I want you and your dog to feel comfortable, and for us to have the best possible conditions to create beautiful images.
When do I see the photos and choose my artwork?
Within 21 days of your session, we’ll meet online for your Artwork Viewing & Design Appointment. You’ll see your images for the first time and I’ll help guide you through choosing your artwork, step by step.
How much do people usually spend?
Most families invest between $2,500 and $5,000 in their custom artwork.
Wall art starts from $595, boutique albums from $1,385, and matted print sets from $315.
A full pricing guide is provided after our initial chat, at booking, and again at your session so you’ll always feel informed and supported.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, flexible payment options are available, and we’ll discuss what works best for you at your design appointment.
Do you photograph other pets too?
While dogs are the heart of what I do, I’ve also photographed cats, horses, and other much-loved companions. If your furry (or feathered) friend is part of your family, I’d love to include them.
