Christmas with Bernard the Cavamalt | Thomaz boys | sydney pet photography

At Christmas time we can be angels and santas. This santa lives in our neighbourhood, Potts Point, with his angel: a Cavamalt / Maltalier puppy. The angel’s name is Bernard (how many angels have that name??).

I photographed these two last year, and, the season now being on us all, we decided it was a good time to revisit the experience. Santa wanted some shots as keepsakes and also to send to his family in South America.

Now 1 year and 2 months old, Bernard showed me he could sit, wear his costumes and rock it. A very well loved pooch (erm, angel/ reindeer, sorry!).

Remember peeps - pet photography is where art and love combine.

BTW, Bernard's the only Cavamalt in our neighbourhood the last time I checked - how special is that!

They now hang proud at twoguinepaigs HQ home base and tag along with me to Client visits.

Nothing beats hand-picked, framed to size wall art to present the love and dedication towards your pets, fur babies, and life-long companions - making a statement of it!

Why custom framing?

Professionally framed prints or fine art prints not only look good and present well, they also protect and help preserve your prints for a very long time to come. A professional framer understands the printing process enough to know what is best to preserve the prints; not like DYI framing where you find your print slipping from its position and stuck to the frame/glass after 2 Summers (did you know that prints sweat in Summer too?)

Custom framing will inevitably cost you more than say frames from Ikea or any retail shops but it’s worth it.

If you can’t decide which frames to use or don’t have the time to pick them yourself, let me do the work for you! This is all part of twoguineapigs’ friendly service. I look forward to helping you decorate your place with wall art featuring your pets!

Gift custom wall art this Christmas?

For those who wants to gift this as Christmas present, they are included as part of my gift card package!

Behind-the-scenes notes
Shots of Mr Big and PF were made at twoguineapigs HQ with available light. In case you’re wondering whether these can be made on location, yes they can!

Summer Gift Cards Are Out | Christmas | Professional Pet Photography

I long to have such a memorial of every being dear to me in the world. It is not merely the likeness which is precious in such cases - but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing … the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! 

It is the very sanctification of portraits I think [...].

- Elizabeth Barrett, British Poet
(1843, letter to Mary Russell Mitford, English Author and Dramatist on photography)

If like me you love photography as an art form (and you love pets too) what could be nicer than to give someone special an opportunity to experience a professional photoshoot for themselves?

My new summer gift card is a simple, fun, and unique offer of a professional pet photoshoot complete with a choice of (1) a framed print (3 sizes to pick from) or (2) a fine art album. All offers come with a digital album for your personal device.

The perfect gift for Christmas > available here. Offer ends 26 21 December 2012 (from $300).

The card also entitles the recipient to a 10% saving on all additional prints.

Nothing complicated for you the gift giver to do - I know we all want to spend more quality time with our loved ones, including our fur friends, especially during this festive season. And the photoshoot can happen after the madness is over - no stress!

However, if you want to book a shoot and have the final results presented for this festive season, better make sure you book now to avoid disappointment. Contact me via Contact Form, I look forward to speaking with you.
