Pets are huge part of the family and they leave an enormous foot print on our lives. Why not capture their irreplaceable personality and create incredible wall art you can treasure in your home.
Book your pet photoshootGet in touch to get your photoshoot in the calendar. I'll find out a bit more about you and your pet and what you're looking to capture in your photoshoot.
Come along for your photoshoot in my home studio in Ningi, Queensland. You and your pet can settle into the studio, have some fun whilst getting some amazing shots along the way.
Relax and view the very best images from the photoshoot at your viewing and ordering appointment. I'll be on hand to guide you through the process and have a hand picked collection of wall art & prints for you to choose from.
Your chosen images will be professionally edited, hand crafted at a professional printer, using the finest materials and processes. Your stunningly finished artwork will be ready for collection 3-6 weeks after ordering, ready to proudly display in your home and treasure forever.
"I'm Taylah, a self taught photographer from Darwin, Northern Territory who has relocated to Ningi, Queensland in November 2022.
I have been working in the animal industry for over 8 & 1/2 years in a small rescue group while photographing animals on the side as a hobby. I now have a dedicated home studio space in Ningi Queensland, its time to turn this hobby into a career!
I am a mum to two Great Danes, Wilbur & Lotti and a fluffy feline, Maloo."

Session fee does not include any digital or printed products.
As long as I can remember I've loved sitting down and going through the old photo albums remembering those moments in time. Or walking down the hallway and seeing our family photos hanging on the wall for all to see.
Pets leave such a huge imprint on our lives, yet when they are no longer with us, we often are left with low quality digital images on ours phones that are so easily lost over time. My aim is to capture their unique character and create amazing wall art that you can admire and cherish every day, whilst also giving you a fun and memorable experience together.
No one needs a USB full of digital images that end up lost in a drawer never to be seen again, or an online gallery link that expires. That's why when you've had your session and I will help you select your images to turn into that stunning art piece on the wall. Don’t worry - all artwork also comes with the matching digital file, perfect for sharing on social media.
Sample products can be seen in the studio or below and I can help you create digital wall mock up to ensure you go away with something you love.

"My very first experience having one of my animals photographed couldn’t have gone better. My little Great Dane pup was a bit nervous (which turned to overexcited) and Taylah still worked so well getting him to cooperate.

How much will it cost?
A.Your session fee is $129 which includes a photoshoot for up to two dogs for up to 2 hour in the studio and use of backgrounds and props. Your images are then purchased separately after the photoshoot. Most clients tend to invest at least $800 in their images. Please note no digital images or prints are included in your session fee.
Does my pet need to be well trained?
A.Not at all! Whilst basic sit and stay training is helpful, I can work with pets with any level of training and will always strive to create beautiful portraits regardless of how well trained they are. I have lots of patience and work completely at your pet's pace so don’t worry if you feel they aren’t on their best behaviour.
Can I bring more than one pet?
A.Sure! You can bring up to two pets. I do my best to acommodate more based on size due to space so please get in touch to enquire.
How many people can I bring?
A.Where possible, a maximum of 2 people. The photoshoot tends to run a little smoother with less people and distractions in the room.
What do I need to bring to my session?
A.I have everything we need for the shoot, from treats to toys and poo bags! However, if your pet has a specific favourite treat or any allergies please feel free to bring your own treats.
If you have special props you wish to include in the images like toys or blankets please do so!
How long will the session be?
A.This can vary between 45 minutes and 2 hours depending on the pet. I allow plenty of time for your pet to get settled, have cuddles, play and for breaks when needed so don’t feel we need to rush through.
Do you take photos of other animals?
A.Sure! Please get in touch and with any special requests and we can discuss it further.
Of course, my primary focus is the studio but I also off natural light sessions for those not wanting a studio look. Servicing natural light moments within 30 minutes travel from Ningi, Queensland.
