Frog Dog Studios

Frog Dog Studios Melbourne Pet Photography Studio.

'Because your best friend is a work of art' I know right?! What took me so long? I know I would be! And I love it. Great! Yeah.

You may be aware that Frog Dog Studios only started trading in February this year, but what you might not know is that behind the scenes this business has been evolving for years. Well I have been working in the pet industry now for as long as I can remember. When I was 21 I started my first business as a dog groomer which set the pace for things to come. I then went on to work in animal welfare a

nd provided after hours emergency services for all kinds of animals. This position eventually led me down the path of animal management and owner education. Over the years I have had extensive hands on training in animal behaviour, particularly with dogs and I still have a keen interest in this area. What's this all got to do with Frog Dog Studios you might be thinking? So one day I got to thinking about what direction I wanted to head next. I have always been a creative person and have a passion for the arts. It took me a few months to work it out but I eventually enrolled to do a Diploma of Photography which then led to a Bachelor of Fine Arts at RMIT. So here we are 17 years after I first started working with dogs and the natural progression was to combine my two loves and open Frog Dog Studios! Every single minute of it. I tell you, I can't believe it took me this long to get to here but I did and I couldn't be happier

So enough about me, what about Frog Dog Studios? What's that all about? It's all about the celebration of the amazing connection we have with our best friends! Myself and my trusty sidekick Tony have decided that we want to offer a different kind of experience. With my animal behaviour and photography know how coupled with Tony's everlasting patience and tech support we believe we can provide that for all pet owners. How is it different? All our photography is done in studio which gives us complete control over lighting, positioning, colour and action. (Maybe not your pets behaviour, but that can be a good thing!)

Once we are in the studio we like don't like to pose to much. We prefer to let your pet shine and capture their personality by evolving our artwork around them. Does your dog like to catch or play tug of war? Or perhaps they are more relaxed and like to lay around? Don't think your pet would sit still long enough? That's when we get the best shots. With our high speed photography techniques we capture all the humorous moments that make our best friends who they are. Check out some of the work we have done at frogdogstudios.com.au/gallery. Our finished products are all hand printed, certified and guaranteed by me! You can see a little more about what we offer here. The last thing that sets us apart is our approach to package pricing. Ever signed up for a reasonable photography session fee to find out later that your images are going to cost you thousands on top of that?! Me too. We don't want to work that way. All Frog Dog Studio packages are all inclusive! We want everyone to be able to spoil themselves and their best friend with out any hidden surprises! This is why we have designed our packages to be all inclusive so you know what you are paying for up front. No surprises. Ever. Of course you can add to your package if you like and we can also custom design one specific to your needs but you will know the cost up front every time. Anyway, I think that's enough from me for one day don't you think?! FYI - we also Oxipay and gift certificates. We know photography is a luxury item and we want everyone to have the chance to celebrate with their best friends so shoot me an email and see how we can help you have the Frog Dog experience too! Woofs and wet noses,

Happy Friday!

Photogs in London I am in need of 2 x dog models to pose for me when I present at the Photography & Video Show in London next month.

I am presenting both on the Monday and Tuesday and I need one for each day. In return I can provide you with 3 x edited digital files of your pooch.

The presentation is for 30 minutes only but you will probably need to block out about 1.5 hours.

Days and times needed:

Monday 10th March
2.15pm - 3.45pm

Tuesday 11th March
9.45am - 11.15am

You will get admission to the show but unfortunately the dog won't be able to stay after the presentation unless they are an assistance dog.

I need the dogs to be confident and reasonably trained. This will be a very busy venue with lots gong on and very noisy so they need to be able to be relaxed in this environment. Having a good sit and stay is a must.

If you are interested get in touch via email or DM and tell me about your pooch and send a photo. 😜- [email protected]

🌼MEET NACHO🌼

BREED: French Bulldog
AGE: 4
LOVES: to get attention he will steal shoes and run under the dinner table and hide, he loves squeaky toys! And sock puppets make him act like a maniac!

'I was looking for a furbaby for a while when I saw a photo of him I instantly fell in love. he looked so cheeky carrying a stick 10 times the size of him. He is my soul mate and has helped me get through rough times in life. Huge mummy's boy!

What I love the most about him is his loving nature, cuddling and always wanting to be close. He is literally my shadow. His dad thinks he is so goofy! Always running into walls, head butting him when he wants attention and squeaky toys gives him the zoomies!'

BREED: Cavoodle
AGE: 1.5
LOVES: Cat Toys!

'Harper and I met when she was just 8 weeks old. Since then, she has been training to be an assistance dog to help me with disability and neurodivergence in every-day life. One of my favourite stories to tell about Harper is when we went to see Laufey together live in concert! We even wore matching outfits. Harper was so good the entire time, and we had so much fun. '

🌼MEET FINN🌼

BREED: Domestic Shorthair
AGE: 3
LOVES: Sleeping and mischief making

We adopted Finn in 2021, a week after the last lockdown restrictions were lifted. He was a light at the end of the very long tunnel that was 2020-2021. Our only other experience with owning cats was our elderly tabby, who was 15 at the time and not all that active in her prime. The differences in their personality were stark; all the things people say about ginger cats being insane are not only absolutely true, but also apply to their bicolour brothers!

Finn devotes 90% of his time to sleeping (normally somewhere on my bed where he takes up the most real estate), but that spare 10% is pure concentrated mischief. Despite his fair collection of toys readily available, he prefers plastic wrappers and tin foil, the computer mouse, the dog, flowers and other houseplants, and anything that moves under a blanket.

*This one's for my fellow pet photographers. *

I did a thing!

I just started a new Facebook group called Pixels & Paws: Mastering Studio Pet Photography, and I’d love for you to join!
It’s a space for all of us who love creating stunning pet portraits in the studio—whether you’re just getting started or already rocking those pro-level shots. 🐕📸

I decided to create this group specifically for those interested in studio pet photography. Although there are a lot of pet photography communities on Facebook most of them are directed towards natural light and outdoor photography so I am hoping we can fill a little hole here.

We’ll be sharing tips, swapping ideas, and cheering each other on. Plus, I’ll post some fun challenges and behind-the-scenes stuff to keep us inspired.

If that sounds like your kind of vibe, come hang out with us!
Can’t wait to see you there and geek out over all things pet photography! 🐶🐾🐱
