Charlie The Golden Retriever

When I asked Charlie’s mum to describe him in one sentence, her response made me burst out laughing – “lovable doofus”. It sums him up perfectly. He also happens to be insanely good looking and photogenic – throughout our shoot it was like he was travelling with his own personal fan, gently wafting his fur in the breeze.

Believe it or not, Charlie was found wandering the streets of Melbourne as a stray by the RSPCA! They took him in and it wasn’t long before his mum (who works there) fell head over heels for him. She had lost her beautiful senior girl Daisy and was looking for another Goldie to bring into her home. Charlie just LOVES people, and gets to go to work with his mum every day. He also helps out at RSPCA education events and has even appeared in the Herald Sun! Despite all the attention, Charlie remains humble and has simple goals in life – pats, treats, and a comfy bed.

Thank you so much to Sally for having me photograph your beautiful doofus, he is the absolute best and a true charmer!

Celebrating The Golden Oldies

Nothing tugs on my heart strings quite like a frosted muzzle and a slightly slowed down walk – when it comes to dogs, I love them all but seniors are my absolute favourite. Senior dogs have a beautiful energy about them, they’ve done their time as big balls of energy and just want to spend their golden years with cuddles, treats, and the occasional walk. It’s a really special time in their lives, and one that, like puppyhood, only happens once.

I like to make a senior photo shoot with me a joyful experience – celebrating the white faces, their loving natures, and remembering the times you’ve shared along the way. Tears get shed (often mine, I’m a massive softy), stories are told, and some lovely memories are created.  Photographing seniors isn’t without its challenges, sight, hearing, and mobility have often deteriorated, but often all that’s needed is a patient heart, an experienced photographer, lots of cuddles, and some delicious cheese – because quite frankly when you’re the human equivalent of 100, you can eat whatever you want!

Over the last seven years I have met and photographed so many beautiful oldies – some have gone over the rainbow bridge, others are still thriving, and all have left massive paw prints on their owners hearts. A huge thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the wonderful owners over the years who have trusted me with the task of capturing their fur babies in their twilight years, your trust means the world to me. If you’d like to chat about a shoot for your senior dog here in Melbourne, click here to send me an email or give me a call. Enjoy the below images of some of the special faces I’ve met along the way!

Ellie – Sweeter Than Candy

Ellie – thirteen years old, spoilt rotten, loved more than anything in this world – this little girl may be small, but she takes up so much room in her mumma’s heart.

Ellie has been with her mum since she was ten weeks old, and she has Syringomyelia – a condition which means Ellie needs that little bit extra of TLC. Ellie has the most beautiful, gentle face and the sweetest soul. She also has a really cheeky side, halfway through she decided she wouldn’t respond to the word “treat”, so Mel and I kept saying “cheeeeeeeeese” and “poooooooooork” like a pair of idiots.

We had a lovely shoot with lots of laughter – Ellie thought it was great being so spoilt. Her beautiful nature is so clear in these pictures, you can see the love she has for Mel (and treats!) written all over her pretty face. Thank you so much Mel for choosing me to photograph Ellie – it was a privilege.

The key to getting whatever you want in life, is to looks as beautiful as Ellie – nobody can resist a pair of Spaniel eyes.

Josie

Josie – thirteen years young, queen of all she surveys, and a top notch guard dog. Likes – her mum and dad, her stuffed toy. Dislikes – the strange lady with the camera (well, until the treats came out).
