REAL TALK: We love being pet photographers so much

REAL TALK: We love being pet photographers so much. It means just as much to us as it does to all of you who we’ve been lucky enough to photograph over the years.
But running a small business can be so hard, and more challenging than we ever thought.
Over the weekend we received not one, but THREE fake bad reviews on Google and Facebook in the space of 48hrs. These 1 star reviews were posted by people behind fake profiles, that have had no interaction with our business whatsoever.
We have no idea who’s behind this or why. But we do know we’ve lost our 5 star rating we’ve worked really hard to build over the past 6 years. What’s worse is Facebook won’t remove the fake review, and we’re still waiting on Google to even respond to us.
So, we need to ask a favour of you all.
If you have been a client of ours, if we’ve taken photos of you and your pup at an event, or if you’ve had any kind of positive experience with us, we’d be so grateful if you could please take a minute to leave us a positive review on Google or Facebook.
To leave a review just copy/paste this link: https://g.page/r/CboAuf3F-Ha7EAI/review
We can’t remove the fake bad reviews, but we can try to bury them at least!
If you read this far and can help out, thank you! We really do appreciate it ❤️

Sometimes it’s the small moments that have the biggest place in your heart ❤️
For this sweet session, our aim was to capture plenty of happy family memories for Kerri, Cuong and their adorable pug siblings Gus & Kenji.
Sadly Gus was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, and he crossed the rainbow bridge not too long after our session together 🌈
We feel so grateful we had just enough time to capture these beautiful moments that Kerri and Cuong can treasure always.

Thank you so much for having us @k3rriosity xx

Thinking back to our beautiful session with Barbar

Thinking back to our beautiful session with Barbara and her best friend Hannah, an 11 year old labrador ❤️
Hannah is Barbara’s faithful companion in the retirement village apartment they share. It goes without saying their bond is an incredibly special and meaningful one.
Yesterday we came across an important petition by the Companion Animal Network @australia_can calling for more support services for senior Australians to be able to keep their pets at home.
As dog lovers we all know how much the unconditional love and companionship of our pups mean to us. This simply couldn’t be more true for the elderly, who are most at risk of facing loneliness and isolation. It’s why they depend on their pets more than most.
We don't know about you, but the thought of an elderly person being separated from their pet simply because there aren’t enough support services to help provide care for them is heartbreaking.
So if you want to show your support for increasing pet-friendly aged care support services, please sign the petition. We’ll post the link in the comments and on our story 🫶

This stunner is Lulu, a 10 year old keeshond who definitely knows her best angles 😍
This shot may look like it was taken in a pet glamour studio, but actually Lulu was just sitting on her couch at home!
Shows what good natural lighting and working your best pose can do 🥰

One thing we always tell pawrents is that we have a soft spot for the cheeky pups!
Iggy is dearly loved by her mum and dad, although she doesn't show a great deal of initiative when it comes to cuddles... 🤭 Lucky she makes up for it in character and all her adorable quirks!
So much fun shooting this gorgeous trio, and all the moments that make their family connection one-of-a-kind 🥰

Rhiannon and her best friend Ziggy just sitting and watching the world go by...🥺
This beautiful in-home session was a special birthday gift, where we captured so many little love-filled moments just like this one.
Rhiannon and Ziggy loved this photo so much they wanted to frame it, so we're counting down the days until it arrives!
So grateful we get to spend our days capturing the one-of-a-kind love between a dog and their favourite person ❤️ #bestjobever

Who else has been having a lazy day like little Penny here?
Sundays are all about R&R after all (and depending on who you barracked for yesterday you might be nursing a sore head! 😅)
As pet photographers we get to capture all sorts of cosy moments like this one. There's just something about seeing a pup at home, in their element and living their best life 😍
If you're feeling extra lazy today, take a cue from Penny and go cuddle up with your bestie - great advice if you ask us! 🥰

What’s that saying ‘never work with dogs or children…?’
Well, we just happen to do both and love it 😍
Gorgeous Isla was definitely the star of this love-filled family session we had recently, featuring three generations!
She loves hanging out with her furry siblings Binkie and Baxter, if that adorable smile is anything to go by. The bond between dogs and children is so pure and special 🥰
If you’d love a set of beautiful and relaxed family portraits (of the whole family!) get in touch to book with us 📷 #linkinbio

Just some moody shots of our two muses....🧡
They may look like they were taken in a studio, but these photos were actually taken at home!
It was a gloomy day and we felt like experimenting with the light... this isn't usually our style of photography but we were pretty happy with how these shots turned out.
Sometimes it's just fun to get creative and experiment! What do you think of this style?
So obsessed with our ridiculously handsome boys 🥰

Who else spends their Mondays wishing it was Sunday again...🥺
Gorgeous baby Thea thinks mum's hand is a pretty good head rest, so it looks like her plans for the rest of the day will just have to be cancelled...!
This was such a fun and sweet in-home session with pom siblings @ollie.thea.diana in their South Melbourne apartment.
You might actually be surprised to know that apartments are often our favourite spaces to photograph in, due to the floor to ceiling windows!
Because when it comes to our in-home shoots, the size of your home doesn't matter at all...it's all about the natural light 🌞🌞

Cute pup, gorgeous space...who would ever want to

Cute pup, gorgeous space...who would ever want to leave?!

How dreamy is this office nook? I think Sunny loved it as much as we did 🥰
We recently stayed in the gorgeous pet-friendly Granite Cottage with @beechworthshortstays that was built way back in the 1860's. It's been recently renovated but kept much of its period features, so there was plenty of charm to be found as I'm sure you can imagine!
This cosy little light-filled space was one of our favourites to hang out and sneak some work in while we were away 🌞
Is there realllly such thing as a holiday when you own a business? Asking for a friend... 🤣

To all the dog dads who boop the snoots, scoop the poop and give the best cuddles....Happy Father's Day 🥰

Just can’t resist Miso’s adorable puppy eyes 🥺 Which pic is your favourite...? →
We know sooo many of you will relate when we say that puppyhood is such a special time in your family’s life…but gosh it flies by so quickly!
It's an exhausting and overwhelming time for sure (and don’t get us started on those dreaded shark teefs!) but there's just SO much magic in those early days.
Because amongst all the craziness and chaos, is the beginning of a lifelong unbreakable bond. It’s the start of what will be one of your life’s greatest loves 🧡
It was just the other day we stumbled across a few of Sunny's puppy photos, and we just couldn't help but tear up thinking about how much love he’s brought into our little world #IYKYK
(though if he could read this he would probably roll his eyes and say we’re silly sooks! 😅)
If you’ve just brought a puppy home, get in touch with us to capture what will become your most precious memories 📷 #linkinbio

“It’s my Mum’s 50th this Friday and unfortunately due to COVID-19 she misses out on the celebration she deserves. But it’s okay cause she’s super obsessed with her great dane Archie, and I’ve found you guys - perfect right?”
This shoot was a long time coming for best friends Anissa and Archie!
Anissa’s family wanted to arrange a special gift for her 50th birthday, one she wouldn’t forget.
After spending an afternoon with Anissa and Archie and creating these gorgeous memories she can treasure always - we’d say that’s mission accomplished! 😍
Swipe → to see how Archie likes to sit his butt on the couch (or on top of mum if she takes the good spot first!) 😂

Sundays are for catching up on kisses...💋
So many of the pups we photograph just LOVE to plant a lick and a kiss the second they have the chance.
Which secretly is great for us...because it always creates the perfect photo op! 🥰

When we first got together 13 years ago, having a business together certainly wasn't part of the plan...
Back then, we didn't even know if our partner visa would be granted - or what country we'd end up living in (for those who don’t know, Katy's English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and I'm (Shell) an Aussie 🇦🇺) You may see where I'm about to go with this…😂
Some people think we're crazy to work together, because working with your partner definitely isn't for everyone. But we’d never have it any other way!
Because there’s just nothing better than sharing your passions, your goals, your wins and your loves with your favourite person in the whole world ❤️
We never imagined we’d be celebrating our anniversary by facing off against eachother in the @fifawomensworldcup - but if all these years have taught us anything, we sure have a knack for embracing the unexpected!
So, happy 13 years to us! And GO THE #MATILDAS 💚💛💚💛 (sorry Katy 🤭🤭)

Not going to lie, as cocker mums we *may* have squealed when we found out we'd be photographing gorgeous Milo and his family!
We first met Tilly and Rhys early last year for their beautiful engagement shoot, but this time it was Milo's turn to get in on the action for some cosy family photos at home 😍
With his beautiful brown eyes and typical cocker sass, it's no surprise mum and dad are besotted with him (and no surprise he's the boss of the house! 😆)
There was soooo much love in the room during this shoot 🥰 So grateful to spend our days doing this job!
If you would love a set of family photos with your best friend too, book a date at our website! 🐾 #linkinbio

A few favourite moments from our little high count

A few favourite moments from our little high country getaway in Beechworth 🥰
To us the perfect winter holiday is all about good food, pretty dog walks, and plenty of cozy cuddles!
We stayed in a beautiful pet-friendly cottage with so many charming features, including a dreamy office space in the loft. Total #wfh goals 😍
As much as we love Melbourne we always escaping for a short tree change too 🏞️
Where is your favourite place to take your pup on holidays?
