Let’s be honest booking a family photo session when your child is neurodiverse and your dog is part of the crew can feel like signing up for a mad hatters’ tea party. Forget “sit still and smile.” That doesn’t work for most kids, let alone ones who experience the world differently. During our session, your child is free to move, explore, cuddle the dog, even chase the dog, whatever feels natural and helps them and you feel comfortable. We capture moments in the moment—not through forced poses.

Last week, we had the absolute pleasure of photographing Toby, a beautiful senior Border Collie x Red Cattle Dog, at a local park in The Gap, Brisbane. Toby is now14 and is the most wonderful, loyal companion to his owner, Petra. Toby’s gentle, happy spirit shone through the entire session.

Older dogs may have mobility challenges, anxiety, or health concerns, which is why it’s essential to create a session that is relaxed and stress-free. Familiar outdoor spaces or the comfort of home provide the perfect backdrop, allowing them to feel at ease. Gentle pacing, patience, and understanding ensure that their well-being is the top priority.

Finding the perfect pet photographer is about more than just snapping a few cute pictures—it’s about capturing the heart and soul of your dog and the bond you share. Whether you have a playful pup, a senior dog, or a pet with a unique personality, choosing the right photographer ensures you get timeless artwork that tells your story.
