25.01.2022 Would you love a few tips to take better photos of your dog at home? Tomorrow well be joining the lovely gals from Laika Pet Training for a Facebook live Q&A talking all things in-home pet photography as part of their #lockdowninstapet challenge! Join us at 11am so we can answer your questions, or leave your questions in the comments here and well be sure to include them!

25.01.2022 Is your dog allowed on the bed? We started off with strict rules for Ziggy. Initially it was a firm 'nope!' to the bed OR the couch. For a good six months. Then slowly but surely...we crumbled ... Now he owns our whole darn house, and snickers if we try to tell him otherwise! See more

25.01.2022 R U OK? Never has this question been so important After all, we never truly know whats going on in someones life, do we? Especially now, when were spending so much time apart from one another. Thats why taking the time to reach out and ask this simple question can be life-changing. Its a small gesture, with such enormous impact.... We hope youre all doing ok and riding this crazy wave as best as you can. And we hope our photos bring a smile and warm fuzzy feeling when you need it most Much love, Katy & Shell xx

24.01.2022 Is your dog a bed hog? When we first brought Ziggy home years ago, we were adamant the bed would be a Ziggy-free zone. With confidence and a sense of pride, we instilled a suite of rules to follow so he knew who was boss. We'd be firm but fair dog mamas. For his sake and ours, it was the right thing to do. We laugh at that now. And Ziggy would laugh too if we ever told him to get off the bed. ... For the first 6 months it all went so well. But over time, Ziggy slowly but surely pulled on our heart strings (while simultaenously pulling a swifty on us), relegating our rules to the stuff of myth or urban legend. I guess we started with good intentions. That counts for something...right? See more

24.01.2022 Do you have family photos on display in your home? In this digital age its far too easy to keep images stored away on your phone or computer where they dont see the light of day too often. But having photos up on your wall of your favourite people is a beautiful daily reminder of who and what is most important in your life. And during times like these, we need these daily reminders more than ever!... So when we can get back to shooting, well be including a print credit in all of our digital packages. Its a small thing we can do to help get your images up on the wall where they truly belong For more info download our pricing guide at our bio link xx . . . . . . . #printyourphotos #prints #familyphotos #dogprints #dogartwork #dogart #dogsinprint #furfamily #wallart #lifestylepetphotography #petphotographermelbourne #dogphotographermelbourne #doglovers #dogloversofmelbourne #dogphotography #melbournedogs #printyourphotos #keepsakes #shoplocal #timberframe #printphotography #dogsandplants #smallbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #aussiesmallbusiness #professionalpetphotography @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia See more

23.01.2022 Happy International Dog Day! While Ziggy chose to celebrate by having a sing-a-long (see our story!) we thought we'd add to his embarrassment by sharing a list of the weird and wonderful things we love most about him! 1. The silly look on his face when our armpit rubs are on point ... 2. His judgemental gaze when we're two minutes late to go walkies 3. The way he grumbles when slightly moved or - god forbid - picked up for a cuddle, despite snoring contentedly 2 minutes later 4. The way he wags his tail when trying to look extra cute or pull a swifty on us 5. How he sleeps flat on his back all day as if hung over 6. How he always brings his rabbit toy when it's time for bed 7. Most of all, when he comes to us willingly for a cuddle...that's the best What funny or cute quirks do you love most about your dog? See more

23.01.2022 Know a dog mum or dad who would just love a set of gorgeous family photos? During lockdown were temporarily dropping our gift vouchers to half price (now $125!) so it's a great time to treat yourself or someone you love, and finally get those furry family photos sorted! The best thing is our gift vouchers are valid for 3 years, so there's no rush to book the session. Plus it'll be so nice to have the shoot to look forward to once restrictions ease.... Link in bio for more info See more

22.01.2022 R U OK? Never has this question been so important After all, we never truly know what's going on in someone's life, do we? Especially now, when we're spending so much time apart from one another. That's why taking the time to reach out and ask this simple question can be life-changing. It's a small gesture, with such enormous impact.... We hope you're all doing ok and riding this crazy wave as best as you can.

22.01.2022 If your dog had pockets, what would you find in them do you think...? @davethebeagle's would be full of chicken!

22.01.2022 Fact: Theres no one more happy about lockdown than your furry bestie! Sending love to all of our Melbourne family and friends, lets all be kind to one another and get through this together

22.01.2022 "Home is where the heart is..." This age-old proverb is a huge inspiration behind our style of pet photography, and we think its meaning has never been more true than now. Because despite all the uncertainty beyond your front door, your best friend will always be there to comfort you, make you laugh, and fill your home with love. All those everyday moments that mean the most, like the couch snuggles, belly rubs and sock wrestles...these times spent at h...ome will become some of your most treasured memories together. With your fur baby by your side, home can always be your happy place See more

21.01.2022 Were so sad we cant shoot at the moment, but we are happy we can offer gift vouchers in the meantime! During lockdown were temporarily dropping our pet family photo session gift vouchers to half price (now $125!) so you can treat yourself or your favourite doggo parent to a fun photo shoot when restrictions ease. The best thing is, our gift vouchers are valid for 3 years, so theres no rush to book your session. ... For more info visit: https://www.dogfolk.com.au/pet-photographer-melbourne-gift-

21.01.2022 Isn't it funny how small, everyday moments leave the biggest impression on our hearts. We just love this shot of pomeranian Thea and her mum Yuqi, you can really feel the love between these two If you'd love us to capture all the heartfelt moments you share with your best friend, now's the time to grab a photo session gift voucher - they're half price during lockdown only! See our bio link for more info xx

21.01.2022 Those eyes...how could you ever say no? A quick tip to capturing the best photographs of your bestie - focus on their eyes! Eyes are the window to the soul after all When inside your home, have your dog face the direction of a window or door so they are facing the light. Filtered light is best, as bright direct sun is too harsh!... Look for catchlights in their eyes - those little white reflections of light. Can you see them in this image? Capture these to bring depth, emotion and life to your photographs. @gnocchi_thecocker you sure are a handsome golden boy . See more

21.01.2022 List of important plans for the weekend: 1. Hanging out with my dog. (we didnt say it was a long list!)

20.01.2022 List of important plans for the weekend: 1. Hanging out with my dog. (we didn't say it was a long list!)

20.01.2022 If your dog had pockets, what would you find in them do you think...? @davethebeagles would be full of chicken!

20.01.2022 Dave working his angles...or just trying to slide off the couch gracefully. We can't decide Happy hump day!

19.01.2022 Hands up if you love dogs AND beautiful interiors We fell in love with this stunning art-deco apartment in St Kilda, which is the home of spoodle girl Artemis and her family. It's one of the many reasons why we love being lifestyle pet photographers...we get to meet gorgeous dogs, and check out their gorgeous homes too!

19.01.2022 Hope your Monday is magical

19.01.2022 Ok, so we have an exciting announcement...our 'Behind the Scenes' video is finally here! Truth be told, we're equal parts excited and scared to put this out to the world And anyone that knows us will tell you why...being IN FRONT of the lens for a change is definitely not our favourite thing to do (just the thought of it gives Shell heart palpitations, and causes Katy to break out in a rash!) Private meltdowns aside, a BTS video has been on our to-do list forever. Afte...r all, what better way to show what an in-home pet photo shoot with us is really like, than to take you along with us? We hope that getting to know us through this video puts a big smile on your face, just like it did for us, at a time we all need most P.S. A huge thank you to @benny.thepom and his amazing pawrents for being our stars, and to Noris Ariza for bringing this video to life for us and being an all-round beautiful human!

18.01.2022 A house becomes a home when its filled with love Our Storyteller frame is a beautiful way to share the love story between you and your dog to your wall. Its an especially great option if your fur baby has too many cute quirks youd love displayed, or if youre indecisive like us and find it way too hard to choose a favourite photo from your session!... What do you think, would you go with 4 images or 6? See more

17.01.2022 Hey guys, a little update from us and a whole lotta love xx Like many of you, the news that restrictions will be extended for some time was really difficult to hear. Of course there is no priority higher than our health, and we know the government is doing its best in an awful situation. But all of that doesnt stop the heartbreak we feel for our business. These are tough times for sure, and our hearts go out to all of our fellow Melburnians who are strugg...ling right now. We feel for the families that have lost loved ones, for those struggling with isolation and their mental health, and for the many, many small businesses feeling scared and utterly helpless. What is so important for us all to remember though, is that there WILL be better days ahead. We just need to stay strong and hold on a little bit longer. And we need to know that every passing day brings us one day closer to getting our lives back. To getting back our city that we all know and love so much. To our lovely clients with bookings up to mid October, we have contacted you via email and are beyond disappointed to have to cancel. For clients with sessions booked from mid October, we are quietly keeping our fingers crossed for a miracle this situation will improve faster than expected We will be in touch in the coming weeks regardless and absolutely cannot wait to see you and your gorgeous puppers xx Big hugs to you all, and dont hesitate to DM if you need to chat or want to swap dog pics for fun Hang in there Melbourne See more

17.01.2022 If you saw our behind the scenes video earlier this week, youve probably already fallen in love with the gorgeous star of the show, Benny! Benny is a pomeranian x maltese with a ridiculously cute lucky left ear He shares an incredibly heartwarming, special bond with his adoring pawrents, Antonette and Jerome, whose story is a timely reminder that the love and companionship of a dog can help us overcome anything. Their love story, 'Lights, Camera and A Lucky Left Ear' is up now at the Dogfolk Society blog

16.01.2022 Chats with your dog. Hands up who does this And what do you guys talk about? Since weve all been in lockdown, have you found yourself talking to your dog more often than normal? Before covid, whenever we needed to leave the house, wed give Ziggy the same old speech that started with something like, "You need to be a big boy and look after the house now."... This would be followed by us asking what he plans to get up to, if hes going to have lots of sleeps while were gone, before parting ways with 10-15 "I love yous". During lockdown our chats have been a little different though! Things weve heard ourselves say recently include: "Ziggy, how do you feel about us getting matching bandanas and face masks. Would that embarrass you...?" "Um...whats your iso weight at? Youre looking a tad thick around the belly. Youre going on rations!" "Ziggy you just slept 16 hours straight, how can you be tired?? This is a stressful and draining time though. Well go get you an extra pillow." See more

15.01.2022 Earlier today we caught up with the lovely ladies behind Laika Pet Training to talk all things pet photography, and how to capture some beautiful photos of your dog at home Here is the video in case you missed it! Many of the tips we discussed can also be found at our latest blog post > https://www.dogfolk.com.au//6-tips-for-taking-great-photos

15.01.2022 Dogs are family, forever Were so grateful we were given the opportunity to capture precious memories of Sarah and her beloved best friend BJ. These two shared an incredibly close bond unlike anything we've seen. Just look at that smile on BJ's face...it's pure love.

14.01.2022 Some things in life just come naturally...for me I guess it's being a bit of a creep! Being a lifestyle pet photographer means I get to stand outside people's homes, peer through their windows and take photos of their family...and although it sounds dodgy, it's all completely above board...I promise! Take this creeping through the window shot for example. I love shots like this because it really gives that natural and candid 'fly on the wall' perspecti...ve that we love so much about lifestyle photography. So if you think you dont have many photo worthy spots in your home, dont stress! We have lots of creative ideas to get the best out of any space, even if it involves us being a little stalkerish... - Katy xx

13.01.2022 "If I could choose any Dad in the whole wide world, it would still be you..." Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dog dads

12.01.2022 "Hands down the most enjoyable (and non-cheesy!) pooch shoot ever! Shell and Katy felt like old friends from the second they arrived, and our photos were so natural and lovely - we'll treasure them forever." - Sarah, proud mama of 7 year old spoodle, Petal. Petal (or 'Petsy' as she loves to go by) is such a good girl! The winner of our "Melbourne's Goodest Dog Competition" last year, sweet Petsy was a therapy dog before covid hit, spending her days bringing smiles and comfort to patients in hospital. We've said it before and we'll say it again...DOGS ARE AMAZING

10.01.2022 Dogs are family To us, pet photography is about so much more than just cute pics of your pup! Its really about capturing the special connection you share...and celebrating those everyday moments just being by eachothers side. ... Were talking all the couch hangs, belly rubs, food stealing, laughing at your dogs cheeky antics...not to mention when they sneak into your bed for an extra snuggle! If youd love a beautiful set of pet family photographs when things settle down in Melbs, wed love to hear from you. Contact link in bio See more

10.01.2022 Would you love to update your family photos but worry you feel a little too awks in front of the camera? If that sounds like you, we totally get it. We are definitely not naturals when it comes to being in front of the lens That's why we're all about in-home lifestyle photo sessions. After all, home is the place where you and your dog feel most relaxed and free to be yourselves!... Lifestyle sessions allow us to take a natural 'fly on the wall' approach to your shoot, which pretty much involves Katy creeping around ninja-style with her camera, while Shell shares her terrible dad jokes Before you know it youll forget all about the camera, and have a gorgeous set of family photographs to love forever. Win-win! If you'd love to have a family shoot when life gets a little more back to normal here in Melbs, send us a DM or email and we we'll add you to our wait list xx See more

10.01.2022 "Dave is incredibly stubborn. We live next door to a chicken shop and he insists we walk past it everyday to see if anyone has left anything behind! When I say insist, I mean it - if we dont go the way he wants, he lies down, rolls on his back and kicks his legs like a toddler when I try to move him!" - Sophie, legendary fur mum of @davethebeagle. One thing we love most about dog photography is capturing all your pup's quirks and personality traits - whatever they may be! Case in point - Dave's epic "don't touch my chicken" frown lines What funny personality traits does your fur baby have?
