Melbourne – Pre wedding portrait beach shoots

JD — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 04:02:05 +0000

I have been pretty slack so far this year with my blog post as some of you have pointed out so I will endeavour to keep you updated weekly in the coming months! I have been doing quite a few pre wedding shoots of late, we do these shoots to get our couples comfortable being photographed and to get some nice casual portraits of them before their big day.

Below are two beach portrait shoots we did recently involving the couples much loved dogs. I love photographing dogs in family or couple portraits mainly because they are so unpredictable and they really make the whole shoot much more relaxing and tell the story of the couple by bringing out their personalities even more – also they are really cute and fun.

enjoy!

Stella – 4 months on

JD — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:10:17 +0000

I have had quite a few clients and friends wanting to see some updated pics of our little puppy Stella so on Monday I got out into the backyard and photographed her again. I get so busy photographing other peoples families and pets that I become complacent about photographing mine so I am going to make a conscious effort to take more photographs for myself.

As you can see from the images below she has grown quite a bit from her first shoot about 4 months ago and I have added a couple of images at the bottom of the post from the first shoot so you can see the difference.

This first image is going to be put on canvas to go with the prints we have of our other dog Rex and our cat Chucky, can’t wait to get it on the wall.

Rex

She likes to bite on Rex’s jowls when they play fight.

These two images are from the first shoot, she has grown so much and you don’t notice that much until you look back on the photos.

so cute!

Dalmatians pre wedding shoot

It is always fun doing shoots when dogs are involved but having two at the beach when the wind is blowing a gale was quite a challenge but really enjoyable at the same time. Fiona & Adam bought down their two dalmatians for their pre wedding shoot and we got some great images to go into their signature book for the wedding reception.

Check out the photos below that were taken at Carrum beach south of Melbourne.

Our New Little Puppy

JD — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 05:01:06 +0000

Last weekend we picked up our new little staffie puppy Stella and on Sunday I finally found the time to get some pictures of her. We got her to give our other dog Rex (staffie x beagle) a bit of company. As Rex is quite boisterous we thought that he might be a bit rough with Stella but to our surprise he was petrified of the new little puppy and didn’t want anything to do with her, it took nearly all week for her to start playing with Stella but he still isn’t too sure of the new little intruder.

Check the pics below and you will see why it was quite funny that anyone could be scared of such a little dog!

Portraits with your pets

Photographing people with their pets is becoming increasing popular and is a great way to get some images of yourself or you and your partner. Having your pet there on the shoot really relaxes people and you get some fantastic fun natural images in the process.

Check out some of the shoot we have done recently.

Pre wedding shoots

I thought I would post a couple of our recent pre wedding shoots as we get a lot of questions about what type of shots we can do. The main aim of the shoot is really just to get to know the couples better before the wedding and to get them comfortable being photographed. They type of shoots we can do is only limited to your imagination really.

You can use the images for some nice casual prints on the wall, turn them into save the date cards or a new product we are doing is making a signature book to have at the reception for all your friends and family to sign.
