Brenda – Digby (Wenziker)
Firstly, what is your favourite thing about Digby? I love that Digby lets me pick her up and hold her in my arms. She’s such an easy cat to look after, she’s my little companion! In the evening she sits on my lap and we have some time together. She’s good fun and...
Never work with children or animals? Yeah right!
I'm often given the age-old advice, "never work with children or animals". The advice, however, has come too late, haha and I kind of really enjoy the challenge. And working with children AND animals whilst photographing Bailey and his hooman siblings was not without...
Secret Beach Magic with Roxy & Luna
On a secret tucked away beach, early one morning, I met Roxy and Luna. While they look so different, and have very different personalities and motivations, they get on famously. Roxy, is a 13year old cocker spaniel who doesn't seem to know or care how old she is. She...
Meet Andy the Maltese Shih Tzu
I arrived at the beautiful Canning River to find a loving little family and Andy, a bigger than life Maltese Shih Tzu, in charge of everyone. He used his cuteness to demand all his hoomans attention, plus that of any unsuspecting bystander or pet photographer with a...
Photographing cheeky puppies! Meet Ajax!
As you can imagine, photographing cheeky puppies is a photographer's wet dream, and Ajax was no exception! As a ridiculously cute 7-month-old, he was curious about everything, but not great with his recall! As such, we needed to keep him on the lead for a lot of his...
A Challenging Cavoodle? Photographing Mr Bojangles.
After 18 years in pet photography, I figured I had met every challenge there is. Famous last words hahaha! I didn't really expect a gorgeous little cavoodle to change that. Mr Bojangles came all the way from the Northern Territory to be photographed by us. His mum...
Working With Shy Cats! Meet The Fonz
"The Fonz is extremely shy - I don't know if you are going to be able to get anything." said his mum. As you can imagine, this is a phrase we hear often when working with shy cats. On average, a cats fight or flight response is much more active than a dog. This is the...
Oodles of Cavoodles! Lulu, Missy & Koda
As you may know, I am a bit partial to the Oodle variety - having two myself. Call out to Lottie and Pepper - best dogs ever (present company excepted)! So I was rather excited about meeting Cavoodles Lulu, Missy and Koda. In typical Oodle fashion, they were jumpy,...
A Woofing Good Time with Archie, Charlie, Jay Jay & Bluey
Woof woof woof! I could hear the dogs when I walked up the drive. They sensed excitement in the air. As soon as they had a clear path to me, I was met with wagging tongues and tails. Oh I love my job! Archie and Charlie were so bouncy. Unfortunately that meant the...
Rescue dog Poppy is living her best life!

Zues, Applecross’ Top Dog!
Zeus is well known across Applecross, a real doggie socialite. As a frequent patron of the coffee shops he has used his 8 years well, and is an expert at getting any animal lovers attention. As Zues's photo session was held just before Christmas last year we were...
Mokha the Curly Coat Retriever!
Often mistaken for an oodle, Mokha is actually a curly coat retriever, and a very good example of what you might expect from a gun dog. The original brief for her pet photo session was to capture her being active, jumping around on the beach with her ears flying. But...
Husky VS Malamute, what’s the difference? Feat. Beau & Cora!
We know you've asked the question, what is the difference between a husky vs malamute anyway? Let us shed some light! Husky's are stubborn, playful show offs that relish human attention, but are also fiercely independent. Such was the case with Cora who was definitely...
Images pending – Max & Jesse (howitt)
Insert Breda blurb Firstly, what is your favourite thing about Max & Jesse? Max and Jesse are both a special part of our family. I felt it was important for my kids to grow up with pets to understand caring for others and unconditional love. They are both super...
Russian Blue Jasper & Ragdoll Lina
When I first rocked up, Jasper the striking Russian Blue greeted me at the door and demanded an immediate smooch. His sister Lina gave me an indignant, 'What are you doing here' look before strutting her fluff butt down the corridor, an uncommon greeting compared to...
Cuddly Cavoodle Obi Rouge
It was my second time photographing at this home, but my first time meeting Obi Rouge the cavoodle. He had big paws to fill, and that he did. Obi Rouge loved food, but didn't need it as a bribe. He took a great deal of pride in fulfilling requests. Affection was his...
Patton the Schnauzer, Stealer of Hearts
Patton the Schnauzer was a delightful energetic little fluff, full of enthusiasm for life. Which is both a blessing and a curse for us when it comes to pet photography! So we chose a small park across the road from where he lives with his mum. Being somewhere Patton...
Tibetan Terriers Boondi, Nanook & Buttercup
Tibetan Terriers aren't a particularly well know breed, but as you can see they are absolute cuties! They almost look like teddy bears. This was our second time photographing Boondi and Buttercup, but the first time we met Nanook. Nanook is often mistaken for being a...

Frequently Asked Questions
For most of us, having our photo taken isn’t something we do every day. While many of us have a phone filled with photos of our pets, having professional photography of our furry best friend is a bit different.
We’ve compiled a lists of our most commonly asked questions.
Can’t see the answer to your questions? Send us an email or give us a call so you can get the most out of your pet photography shoot.
Can I be part of the photo shoot with my pets?
Yes of course! We aim to capture the bond between people and their animals. You are a huge part of your pets life and capturing you having fun together or cuddling is very meaningful. If you choose not to be in the photos, we may still ask you to assist, even if it’s just incorporating your hands to embrace him/her.
Can I have more than one animal in the shoot?
OF COURSE! It’s important for us to be aware of the number of animals before we arrive for the shoot. Extra time may need to be allocated for shoots with more than 3 animals, or a variety of different animals. This just makes sure we capture beautiful images of all of them.
Should my pet/s be groomed for the shoot?
It’s a personal choice whether or not you want to get your pet groomed before the shoot. If you decide to have your pet groomed, a very small trim and a blow dry is often better than the full cut- you want them to look natural.
DOGS- Be careful with the grooming just before a session (especially with a new groomer)- often mid way through their growth cycle looks best. If you decide to get your grooming done and you haven’t had it done before, let your groomer know that how long you like their hair and that they will be having a photo shoot so need to look as normal as possible.
Does Studio Noah photograph in the studio?
No. Studio Noah comes out to an outdoor location of your choice or can come to your home.
What locations does Studio Noah recommend?
We photograph mainly at peoples homes, local parks and beaches, depending on what type of pets you have. The location is mostly about where you and your pets like to spend time. Cats will be most comfortable and co-operative at home.
Active dogs may be better at a location they can run around freely like a park or if they are water lovers then a beach, whereas smoochy dogs are quite happy to lounge around on the sofa. Some dogs require a fenced in location as they are not great off lead. Please discuss this with us, we may know a location that can provide this, or will suggest a home shoot. Horses are great in their paddock and also at a beach if they like water.
