My first Pet Photography shoot of SUMMER!!
I absolutely loved meeting these guys!
Maggie is a little pocket rocket, being a Foxie cross she was just go-go-go the whole session, while Monty, who is an older Westie cross, was much more mellow and laid back. They make such a wonderful family, as you’ll see from the selection sneak peek photos here.
I always watch the animals that I’m shooting, and get to know them during our session, so that I can showcase different sides of their personalities, whether that be boisterous, fun, nutty, smoochy, wise, mellow or just plain old cheeky!
Each and every session is so much fun… just take a look at these images!

by Helen Trenerry | Wollongong and South Coast Pet Photographer | Sep 17, 2015 | Dogs, SPRING Special
So, for the very first time ever, I’ve decided to offer a
SPECIAL.
The reason is quite simply the fact that I am enjoying the start of SPRING so much and would love to celebrate SPRING with you and your amazing pets!
You can check out the offer over on my specials page, but briefly, it’s a $50 discount off the ULTIMATE session fee, PLUS a $50 credit towards your product package. Isn’t that AWESOME?
So if you’ve ever been thinking about capturing your precious pets for a lifetime of memories, now is the perfect opportunity. Contact me now to book your session.
Just prior to the start of SPRING, I had a wonderful photo session with two adorable dogs; Melinda, a 2-year-old Cavoodle and Trevor, a 12-year-old Dachshund.
Trevor being a Dachshund, he was a little uncertain of me, to begin with, and dachies being dachies, he barked for about 80% of the session. But, as you can see from the end result, dogs who are incredibly talkative, or even who aren’t obedience trained (a common worry for a lot of folks), are still able to have a photo session. These images are just adorable, and capture the personalities of each of the dogs…

Every day of every week, there are a plethora of competitions to enter, or places where photographers can submit images to be critiqued. We do this to improve our work, to compare ourselves against others… For me it’s also to compare myself against myself. That may sound strange, but everything is a learning process, and over time we improve and hone our skills. Logically, if your photos aren’t being “recognised” at first, you have to look at why… is the composition terrible? did you miss the exposure? were you too heavy-handed in the editing?
There is a global resource for Pet Photographers run by Nicole Begley called Hair of the Dog, and each week she runs a “Top Ten” competition based on a certain theme, and each photographer gets to enter only 2 images.
I’ve been entering each week for months, against some FANTASTIC Pet Photographers from around the World, and then analysing my images against the chosen images, and looking at ways that I can improve them.
So, finally, one of my images made it into the Top Ten, with that week’s theme of TAILS. I’m so pleased, and as you’ll see when you click on the following link, there was some seriously tough competition!! Please head on over to the Top Ten on Hair of the Dog, and check out all of the Top Ten images.
Until next time, here is my entry that made it into the Top Ten – Oscar’s scruffy little tail

Welcome to the World of Ruff ‘n’ Stuff Pet Photography!
Since I’ve already told you that I donate my time to several Rescue Groups, I thought I would share some of my photos from my last shoot with the Animal Welfare League – Ingleside Branch.
This happy guy is ROLAND…
And his Brother (would you believe?) ENDER…
Until next time, lots of happy puppy cuddles!
