Let's welcome Camera Plus Dog for joining us at The Pup Cup this year! 📸

Based in Newcastle, Camera Plus Dog is run by Maree, who is traveling all the way up to sunny Coffs to capture all of you lovely competitors for the Pup Cup this year!

We absolutely loved Maree's work at Novogroom, so it was a no-brainer to invite her on to come on board. She will be snapping before & after shots and grabbing those cute candid moments all weekend.

Make sure to pop down to her booth and get some team, salon and family photos.

Thank you Maree & Camera Plus Dog!
