Our pets grow up so fast and become part of our family very quickly. Sadly they aren't always with us as long as we would hope. Don't let these memories slip away. Memories can fade over time. Yet your photos will always be there, carrying your most precious life moments.

Our time spent together is short, lets make memories

I am honoured to recently become a registered member of The Tilly Project. The mission of the Tilly Project is to connect pet owners with end-of-life pet photographers across the world, and to provide accessible, educational, and supportive resources for photography, anticipatory grief, and pet loss bereavement.

Sessions
End of Life
I can be there to capture the unique and loving bond that you and your pet share and preserving those special moments in time. These sessions can be done at a location or if the pet is not able to move around much due to ill health then I can come to you. These images will mostly be edited in black and white with some colour included. It's a sad time but we can honour your pet to show the love you have for each other.
Inside or Outside
Photographic sessions can be either at a chosen location or if you prefer more of the studio genre then we can do that too. I have a studio with various backdrops and props.
Urban
These sessions are for dogs that are not anxious and feel quite comfortable in an urban environment. We can get some great pictures from wandering the graffiti laneways in Mildura.
Delivery
After the session your images will be delivered to you via a private online gallery where you will be able to choose your favourites which will be delivered as a download.
Gentlemen of the Jury: The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.
If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.
George Graham Vest - c. 1855
