Bella & Bruno
“The best dog portrait photography I’ve ever seen. Ruth is excellent with her subjects during the session. The photos are worth every cent!”
Tanya, Drummoyne

Zidane
“What a fun experience! For dogs but also owners! Ruth photographed our gorgeous giant Frenchie Zidane and it was one of the most fun experiences we’ve had given that he loves posing for the camera. We had done professional photoshoots with him before and knew he would enjoy it, but doing it in our local area and focusing on the uniqueness of Z was much more fun. The artwork is amazing and we were over the moon when we saw Zidane’s facial expressions and cheeky personality captured in the photos! Worth every penny!”

“If you’re looking for a photographer who is gentle, patient and always able to get the cutest shots – Ruth is your gal! The final shots of our session are just beautiful and will look lovely in our modern home. I have to give a special shout out to her patience, kindness and attentiveness towards our dog while shooting. She made the whole experience a pleasure and we are beyond thrilled with the results!”
Serena, Gladesville
