PRECIOUS MEMORIES FADE. BEAUTIFUL ART LASTS FOREVER. Dog Photography Cold nose, slobbery kisses, soft silky ears, those soulful eyes you love so much and the loyal kindred spirit who knows you better than you know yourself. No-one truly understands how you feel about your dog, but I imagine its the same way I feel about mine. I know he's your family, your four-legged baby, you love each other unconditionally and you can't imagine what life would be like without him....
Not that we have enough sheep for our Border Collies to be considered ‘working sheep dogs’ at the moment, they are none the less farm dogs through and through. I realised recently that I haven’t posted any photos of the canine fur kids lately, and because its too hot to do anything else, here are some photos of the Border Collie Brigade. Minus Freckles who (in typical Freckles fashion), wouldn’t stand still long enough for me to get a...
The puppies Ryley and Freckles have settled in really well and have been accepted by all the older dogs. They already show natural instinct for working sheep (and chickens) and incredible intelligence and are likely to give every one of the adult border collies a good run for their money once they grow up! If you enjoy my artwork and photography, please share it with your friends!...
I have always been a natural light photographer, I've never liked formal studio photography for people and only ever used artificial lighting for 'fill flash' to lift the shadows when natural light was not enough to provide a professional result. My involvement as official photographer for the Lexus Melbourne Cup's Tour of Boyup Brook in 2018 saw me updating my the studio equipment, softboxes and backdrops and I found myself really enjoying some high and low key (black or...
While I am technically still on holidays (the first since 2007 that I have officially booked into my calendar in advance), I have had the chance to finalise one of the major projects that I have been working on for a very long time. One of the services I offer is commercial photography for equine, rural and agri business such as horse, cattle and sheep studs and livestock fodder companies. I am working with more equine related businesses each...
Is your horse or dog model material? While everyone can admire a beautiful animal, looks arn't everything and sometimes the superstars I need are the ones with character, confidence with new people and situations, a great work ethic and willingness to please their handlers, perhaps special skills, tricks or in the case of dogs - a high level of obedience in particular with solid stays or off lead recalls. I require a database of horse and dog photography models...

Border Collie dogs are like potato chips – you can’t just have one or two. Or even three or four. Some people can’t even stop at five…some people (not looking in the mirror) are borderline crazy (or bordering on insane – take your pick) and end up with SIX Border Collies. Now in my defence, I have tried to work with Trinity for two years, but she is definitely my husbands dog and simply will not work sheep for...
