You would never think from the photos you’re about to see that Gina is 12 years old!

This athletic senior certainly put me to shame during parts of the session but the result is a stunning collection of images that highlight not only Gina’s extraordinary energy but her joy for chasing birds, love of the water and for her family.

Prepare to be enamoured!

Gina has quite an interesting story. She was ‘rescued’ from the Lost Dogs Home in north Melbourne in 2004. The pound could offer almost no information about where she had come from or even what her name was, she was thin, timid and about 4 years old (again the pound was not certain).

In her brother Nic’s own words -
“At the time my brother and I where slowly wearing mum and dad down on getting a dog. We’d gone and reserved Gina and convinced Dad to come down and see her, when we arrived another dog escaped…

He might be only 15 months old, but this gorgeous boy knows how to work it!

We were privileged with some glorious afternoon light near the Silvan Reservoir in the Yarra Valley, which is about 40km east of Melbourne, Victoria.

He has the fluffiest tail I’ve ever seen regardless of breed bar none! And those dreamy yellow eyes . . . WOW. Ok, ok, I may be somewhat smitten, but only a little – honest.

I was also lucky enough to meet some of Harry’s friends, Charlie and Princess who, although not the focus of this session, were more than happy to show their stuff in front of the camera.

Enjoy!

Meet Charlie -

. . . and Princess!

After a trip to the vet for some puppy vaccinations I thought it was the appropriate time to introduce the world to, well, my world.

The true workers behind Wet Nose Fotos, the un-sung heroes you might even say . . .

First up has to be the veteran! At just over 3 Jett is still quite young, but considering the youth he’s surrounded by this supposedly makes him the ‘mature’ one . . . hmmmm, ANYWAY!

Jett is Wet Nose Fotos’ official ‘Chief Advisor’!

BREED: Staffy X
WEIGHT: 26.5Kgs
FAVOURITE THINGS: Advising everyone // sleeping // barking at strange noises // farting {you heard me}.

I’m very clever and can drop and roll on command. – Jett

I’m also rediculously cool,
but I don’t need to tell you that . . .

I love bones,

and sun-flare in my images . . .

BUT,
I hate the ‘cone of shame’!

That’s the last time I slice an artery & need emergency surgery while…

Time for your high energy Jack Russell fix for the day!

Sooty turned 10 late last year but you’d never tell! Not only has he retained his puppy looks but he still boast the Jack Russell energy the breed is famous for!

There’s no slowing down in sight either and I was kept on my toes the whole session. We had an absolute blast in the gorgeous Queensland sunshine as you will see . . .

Enjoy!

Hello!

See how clever I am?!

We had such a beautiful location for the shoot

Weeeeeee!!!

After a little convincing {and plenty of treats} Sooty was happy to pose for the camera

But then he was off to explore . . .

All this fun makes for a thirsty pup . . .
ahhhhh sort of?!

Time to head to the river YAY!

{ insert possible apprehension here }

‘The water is rising. The water is RISING’

Phew . . . that was…

It is with great sadness that a little while ago I received news of Anzac and Charlie’s passing.

Here is the email I received -

Just a bit of sad news. Both Anzac and Charlie passed away recently (due to illness related to their advancing years). We loved them so much and the pain is still raw. But we are writing to say thank you again for the photos – they are a great comfort to us at this sad time and we cherish the memory of the lovely day you came and took their photos. Take care and thank you for everything. Kind regards Con and Tina xx

Meet Bella!

This well travelled pooch came all the way from Lismore in New South Wales for our session at Sweeney Reserve, Petrie on the outskirts of Brisbane. After a few reschedules due to the recent sporadicly wet Queensland weather we finally locked it down in January. Bella brought her A-game and was ready to be the centre of attention {aren’t we all!}

First it was important to explore the area and sniff out anything that may be of interest. Check.

Smells good to me . . .let’s get started!

Wait, hang on I may have picked up on something here

Nope, false alarm!

Now let’s get crackin’

Well, maybe there’s time for a roll {just sayin’}

Finally, a nice warm sunny day

Thank you Queensland!

Not really sure about this ‘river’ thing . . .

Maybe it’s not SO bad

But it’s better to be sure and get this wet stuff OFF

Ahhhh SO much better. …

So we’re getting organised, we’re getting everything sparkly clean, we’re well onto our way for a Fresh Start. But like I said,…

Beautiful Bailey was lucky enough to win a session with Wet Nose Fotos while attending the Jack’s annual ‘Walk For A Cause’ 2011 held by Ziggy’s TLC.

We shot her session at picturesque Kangaroo Point in Brisbane. It certainly turned on some nice, albeit very warm weather for us and we had a fun-filled session with Brisbane City in the backdrop.

This gorgeous 3 and a half year old loved the camera!

Enjoy . . .

{ bird in distance = action shot } hehe

Despite this crazy Brisbane weather we were afforded a rain-free albeit overcast session with Shadow, a 5yo Golden Labrador.

Shadow was originally booked in for my September trip to Brisbane but unfortunately injured his shoulder. Luckily Shadow was in fine form for our session this time and I think you’ll agree he had a blast!

Who could resist this face?

Shadow absolutely adores the dam!

In fine form and floppy ears!

One of my new favourite images!
I’m in love with this red dingy!!

Nawwwww – insert cuteness . . . NOW!

NOM NOM NOM!!!

Believe it or not, this delicious looking bone was demolished in under 5mins flat!

Not a bad way to end a session!
