  • Turning a Heartbreaking Diagnosis into Beautiful Memories We’ll Treasure Forever

    “When our dog was diagnosed with terminal cancer, we wanted to capture some special memories as a family before she began palliative treatment.

    Paul took the time to really understand what we were hoping for, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made the whole experience gentle and easy — even though it was quite an emotional day.

    The photos are absolutely beautiful. He’s captured our darling girl perfectly, along with some gorgeous family shots we’ll treasure forever. The final photos were delivered quicker than expected, even with editing feedback — truly 5-star service all round.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️-Kim Harding - Brisbane

  • Two Crazy Dogs, One Perfect Family Portrait, Now Hanging Proudly on Our Wall.

    Had the most wonderful experience getting a family photoshoot done with our two dogs. Paul was very thoughtful in his approach and took time to understand our lifestyle and personalities, (including the dogs!) so that he could capture that in the photos. We chose an outdoor location with plenty of space and options for some action photos. The dogs really enjoyed the experience too and all the attention. Could not be happier with the result! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Marilyn Kluyskens - Ashgrove

About Paul

Hey, I’m Paul—a Brisbane photographer, dog lover, and dad to a neurodivergent kiddo who keeps us crying-laughing daily.

My family is wonderfully chaotic. Our son has ADHD, our dog is convinced he’s human, and we spend our weekends outdoors, loud and happy. So when I say I understand the unpredictability of high-energy families—or dogs that definitely don’t do "sit"—I mean it.

If your life is a little louder, messier, or more sensory than most, the idea of a photo session can feel overwhelming. That's precisely why I’m here.

My approach is relaxed, pressure-free, and built with patience, flexibility, and genuine empathy. I create a session where you and your family (including the dog) feel completely safe, supported, and comfortable.

Forget about perfection. My passion is capturing the real-life connection, the unique quirks, and the unconditional love that make your crew, your crew.

  • We offer photo sessions in a variety of beautiful outdoor locations. We have a favourite spot on the northside that's extra special, but we also shoot in areas with creeks, open fields, and forest settings. Beach sessions on the northside are also an option!

    We include travel within 20km of Brisbane CBD. For locations beyond that, a small travel fee of $2 per additional kilometre applies.

  • For travel over 20kms from the Brisbane CBD radius we charge $2 per km. Please let me know your location, and I can provide you with more specific information.

  • Most families invest $1000 or more on their artwork. Some spend less, some more, it really depends on what works best for your needs. There’s no pressure and no minimum spend. I’ll guide you through the options during your viewing session and help you choose what works for your home and budget.

  • Nope. You’ll always know exactly what to expect before you book. No surprise fees, no sneaky upsells. Just honest pricing and beautiful results.

  • Absolutely not. I’ll help you choose your favourite images and only invest in what you love. There’s no obligation and no pushy sales tactics, just honest, helpful guidance.

  • Not at all. Sessions are designed to be laid-back and efficient. I work around your schedule and make the whole process easy, from planning to final delivery.

  • Weather Considerations
    We all hope for perfect weather, and Brisbane usually delivers—but nature can be unpredictable. While light cloud or breeze often creates beautiful conditions, we may reschedule in cases of persistent rain, hail, extreme heat or cold, or strong winds.
    Because conditions can change quickly, we usually make a final weather call just a few hours before the session. Please trust that we’ll only reschedule if absolutely necessary—we’re experienced in creating stunning portraits in a variety of conditions, and we want the best possible outcome for you and your family.

    Emergencies/Illness (Client or Pet): If a genuine emergency or illness (Client or pet) prevents attendance, please notify the Photographer as soon as possible. The session will be rescheduled at no extra charge on one occasion, and any paid session/reservation fee will carry over to the new date. Proof may be requested.

    Late Arrival: If the Client arrives more than 15-20 minutes late for a scheduled session or appointment without prior notification, it may be considered a no-show

  • Yes, I offer gentle and heartfelt sessions for dogs who are nearing the end of their time.
