schnitzel the dachshund | sydney award winning pet photographer

Meet Schnitzel, a 7 month old Dachshund who lives in the neighbourhood. Schnitzel’s Mum, L, commissioned a photoshoot so Schnitzel will be remembered as the gorgeous puppy that he is - before he turns into the ripe old age of 1 year old. I did some family shots for Christmas and some art pieces for the home.

Here’s a sneak from the shoot.

Artex the Border Collie | Sydney Dog Photography

Introducing Artex, a 13 month old Border Collie, and my new friend.

Artex, travelled down from Lilyfield with his ‘parents’ for a test shot right in the heart of Potts Point 2 weekends ago. These are my favourites from our test shot. Thank you for coming around and meeting me.

Stay tuned for more. I can't wait to show off more of Artex.

Pup Academy II

It was another Saturday at puppy school for this Sydney Pet photographer.

At this rate if I ever come back as a pooch in a future life I will be the best trained puppy in history.

But seriously, it’s not the canine education I go for - although Amy is forever enlightening in deciphering the mysteries of pooch behaviour in her classes - I come for the ever reliable cuteness of the students.

Conditions for photographing these classes are challenging for a photographer - they are held in the open under daytime sunlight. That certainly gives some of these pictures a very Australian sun-soaked feel. It also maybe explains why some of the students can occasionally look a bit sleepy - it’s hard to stay awake when you are tanning.

If you are thinking of getting me to photograph your favourite pet (and why wouldn’t you?) please keep it in mind - early mornings and romantic evenings are the best times for sessions. Winter is the best season!

Anyway I hope you enjoy these pics of puppies and their immediate world – I mean human legs! I processed quite a few in black and white, which is a format I love. Pretty dramatic high-noon shadows, don't you think?
