Little Sahara flew around Australia in December to raise awareness for shelter dogs. We had the pleasure of photographing her at the Dog’s Refuge Home of WA and in the studio. She was such a joy to take pics of!
Here’s the fab video clip of her travels – can you spot Team Houndstooth, LOL?

In between our 5 day trip to Adelaide, we have been working hard in the studio, and have met some adorable dogs recently. Here are some pics from our recent pooch photo sessions.
First up is 6 month old black lab puppy Louis. He was such a cute little guy with a big personality – and he went crazy for the liver treats!
Then we met Bondi, an adorable boxer gal. She drinks out of a sports water bottle, and bought her zebra soft toys along to the shoot! She had two ‘bling’ imported dog collars which were simply magnificent – and suited her to a tee.
Bruno the happy chocolate lab paid us a visit! He reminded me of Scooby Doo and had soooo much character!
It was the week for boxers, with Sophie, an 8 year old, having some portrait shots captured as well. The pics were a gift from her mum to her dad who is working overseas!
And last but not least is Chilli, the 13 year old long haired jack russell. Age doesn’t stop Chilli from doing anything, not even this well balanced move!
Houndstooth Studio is coming to Sydney!! Direct from Perth, we are putting the feelers out to Sydney pet owners who may be interested in signing up for one of our special offer pet photo session packages.
The studio pet photo sessions will be for up to two pets from each household, and will take 1- 2 hours each to conduct. We will be using the facilities of a photo studio within inner-Sydney and are looking to come over on 24th, 25th & 26th September 2010.
We have four fabulous packages on offer for Sydney residents, with savings ranging from $295 to $905! We are offering prints, canvas prints and aluminium mounted prints as part of the packages. This is your opportunity to have your pets immortalised in stunning portrait prints, captured by a multi-award winning animal photographer! You can view our gallery online by clicking here.

As part of my official photographer duties for the RSPCA WA, twice a year I conduct pet photography classes for children aged 8 to 12. The sessions are part of the RSPCA’s school holiday program and staff rate them as the most popular activity of the program! Participants learn several tips and tricks to help them take improved animal photos and a practical session of photographing animals is held too. It’s great value for only $25, all of which goes to the RSPCA WA.
This year we are running two classes on two dates;
Friday 8th January 2010 from 9:30am to 11:30am and 1:30pm to 3:30pm
Tuesday 28th September 2010 from 9:30am to 11:30am and 1:30pm to 3:30pm

Oscar the black kitten often visits during the school holiday photography classes.
