Most don’t! I work with pets every single day, from high-energy zoomers to total wiggle machines. Your pet doesn’t need to “behave” or sit perfectly still. I use fast shutter speeds, gentle guidance, and plenty of patience to capture great photos, even if your dog is bouncing around like it’s Christmas morning.

Bring the whole furry crew! Whether you have two dogs, four dogs, or a mixed group of pets, I’m experienced in photographing multi-pet families. I’ll work with their individual personalities and comfort levels to create beautiful group photos, and solo portraits, too, if you’d like.
The private studio means no distractions, no other pets, and plenty of time to get everyone looking their best.

Absolutely! Pets are family, and humans are more than welcome to hop in. Whether you want one quick family photo or you’d like to be in most of the session, it’s completely up to you.
Dress up, go casual, or wear matching pyjamas, whatever feels like “your Christmas.”

Your pet’s comfort and well-being always come first. I regularly photograph senior pets, shy pets, reactive pets, and those with mobility or medical needs. The private studio allows for a quiet, calm, low-stress environment tailored to your pet.

Shopping centre Santa photos are fast, noisy, busy and often stressful for pets, and they’re usually run by people with little to no pet-handling or photography experience.
A general “people” photographer may allow pets, but that’s very different to someone who specialises in them. Pets become an afterthought instead of the focus.
At Furtographer, your pet is the star. You get a private studio, an experienced pet photographer, custom Christmas sets, and time dedicated entirely to your pet. No queues, no chaos, no pressure.
It’s a premium experience designed around animals, not added onto the end of a regular photoshoot.

Wear whatever feels like you.
Casual, dressy, Christmas jumpers, matching PJs - anything goes. Neutrals always look great, but bold colours can look amazing too. The only thing I recommend avoiding is super-busy patterns or giant logos, because they can distract from your pet’s adorable face.

You’re in the right place; reactive dogs are absolutely welcome.
My studio sessions are private, quiet, and stress-free, with no other pets or people around.

Premium sessions are recommended as you are guaranteed not to see another dog, and they can stay on leash the whole time. I work at their pace, and I’ll never push them beyond their comfort zone.

Yes! Leashes can be edited out of your final images.
Safety comes first, I’d much rather your dog stay secure on a leash, and I remove it later if required.

Absolutely! Bring your dog’s Christmas outfits, bandanas, accessories or any special items that show off their personality. Please ensure that you do a test fit at home and that your pet is comfortable with any outfit or accessories.
If you don’t have anything, no stress, I have Christmas props available in the studio too.

Fun optional extras where I create some of this year’s trending Christmas pet photos. Photos that stop the scroll and people assume are AI, but are created with your pet and lots of experience!

These images are separate from the Christmas Classic, Jolly Bundle and Festive Full and are not included in your digital package unless you choose this add-on. Each viral photo is $25.

They are included in premium sessions and require no extra spend.

The viral scenes are super quick to set up and execute, totally optional, and can be added at the time of booking or on the day in the studio

You’ll receive your gallery within 36 hours (usually quicker)

Life happens, no judgment here!
If you need to reschedule, just let me know at least 24 hours before your session. I’ll send you my remaining available timeslots and move your booking.
No-shows are non-refundable.

My studio is on a residential street. Parking is available in my driveway, or on the street out the front of my house.

Yes! Bribery is part of the game! I supply high-quality, single-protein treats. Lamb, Beef, Chicken and Kangaroo. I will ask as part of your booking questionnaire about dietary requirements to ensure your pet does not get offered anything they can't tolerate.

Cats, bunnies, birds, lizards, guinea pigs, snakes, small farm animals (chickens, baby goats etc) are all welcome!

Absolutely! There are 3 custom sets to choose from

Yes, for all packages above the single-image package, several sets can be used
