Pawtraits Pet Sessions


Award-winning pet photographer based in Whangarei, Northland


We love our pets, they are a part of us, a part of our family. Each and every pet session is unique and works around your pet, we have some fun, play a little, get to know each other and then create beautiful images. My favourite part of the Pawtraits pet session is listening to all the stories of the adventures you have had together, learning about your pets personality and how you chose their name.

What happens next


First thing is to get in touch for a full price guide and pet session information sheet. Next will be to book a session which you feel is best for you, I am happy to discuss the options available and to find the best one to suit you and your pet. There are a few options, you may like to come to the studio where I have indoor and outdoor options, or you may like it at home, the beach or your favourite park.


We will have a phone consultation for the finer details, to make sure that I know your pets needs. From here it is a matter of booking a suitable time.

PET-O-RAMA

What is a pet-o-rama


It is a beautiful panoramic shot created by myself of your pet within the landscape. Pet-o-rama is created using a technique that I learnt at an Unleashed workshop from the very talented Craig, this combines multiple images being stiched together. It sometimes can take 20 different images to create the shot.

The pet-o-rama digital files are very large, this is because to create the beautiful image we have had to combine many digital images together. This allows you to be able to print a lovely large, detailed image of your pet to display on the walls in your home.

Your Pawtraits Session


Pet sessions can be done anywhere, wherever your pet feels safe. Let's go to the beach if this is where you and your pet enjoy spending time together, or we could stay on the family farm and explore all the nooks and crannies. New Zealand has the most amazing views for any outdoor pawtraits.


If your pet is more comfortable indoors, I can come to your place to be in their environment and we can create amazing pawtraits, alternatively I have a safe studio that we can use.


Pawtraits sessions are $150, with packages starting at $600
