FOREVER SESSIONS (v2) - Canberra Award Winning Pet and Dog Photographer

This is a love story. And it’s still being written.

You know this dog like no one else does. The way they still find you in every room. The way they settle when you sit down, always close, always yours. The particular weight of them leaning against you.

There is something extraordinary about the bond you have built together. The years of walks and routines and quiet evenings and all the small rituals that belong only to the two of you.

A Forever After session is a chance to capture that. Your dog as they are right now, in this chapter, with everything that makes them completely and specifically themselves. To celebrate them.

Something to have on your wall. Something that shows the whole truth of this love.

SEE HOW IT WORKS

These sessions are designed around where your dog is right now.

Priority Scheduling

If you reach out and timing matters, please say so. I will do everything I can to see you quickly. Just send me a message and I will come back to you as fast as I can.

Entirely At Their Pace

We move as slowly as they need. If they want to rest, we rest. If they want to wander, we follow. If they are most comfortable on their favourite spot on the couch or a familiar path they have walked a hundred times, that is exactly where we will be. There is no plan that matters more than they do.

Flexible Locations

Sessions can take place at your home, in your garden, at a favourite outdoor spot, or at my Jerrabomberra studio. We will work out together what will suit your dog best.

"Ina was so patient with my girl, working with Claire’s ability as an elderly gal, and yet went above and beyond to capture her personality and the bond between us. Ina walked me through every step of the process, which was hugely reassuring."

— KRYSTAL

"Ina went that step further to help me include our little guy who passed not long ago in one of the shots and now our family is complete and I couldn’t be happier. We now have some amazing memories to keep forever."

— MELISSA

Something to hold onto. Long after this chapter.

At your ordering appointment, you’ll see your portraits for the first time together. Then we design exactly how your chosen images will look in your home.

Wall art, a keepsake portrait box, a fine art album, matted prints. Whatever feels right. These are pieces made to last, printed to archival standards, designed to carry this love story forward with you.

There is no rush. When you’re ready, I’m here.

GET IN TOUCH

A few things you might be wondering.

HOW QUICKLY CAN WE BOOK?

Please reach out as soon as you feel ready. I will always do my best to accommodate Forever After sessions quickly. Just let me know when you get in touch that timing matters and I will come back to you as fast as I can.

WHAT IF MY DOG ISN'T VERY MOBILE?

That’s completely fine. We work entirely around where they are comfortable. On their bed, their favourite chair, a quiet spot in the garden. There is no expectation of movement, poses, or anything that would cause them any discomfort. The session follows them, not the other way around.

CAN I BE IN THE PHOTOS TOO?

Yes, and I’d encourage it. Some of the most treasured images from these sessions are the ones that show the two of you together. The connection, the closeness, the particular way you are with each other. You don’t need to do anything. Just be with them.

WHAT IF I'M NOT SURE I'M READY?

You don’t have to have it all worked out before you reach out. Just send me a message and we can have a quiet chat. No pressure and no obligation. Sometimes it helps just to ask the question.

A NOTE FROM INA

I got Mac’s photos done in his final days.

They’re on my wall. I look at them every day. And what I know now, having photographed hundreds of dogs since, is exactly what makes the difference between a portrait that captures who a dog really is and one that doesn’t.

It’s not the camera. It’s the approach. It’s reading the dog. Slowing down when they need it. Finding the version of them that is still completely themselves, even in a quieter chapter.

That’s what I bring to every Forever After session. The same care. The same patience. The same intention to get it right.
