Artwork you’ll love, and an experience you’ll never forget.
I’m Melbourne photographer Dave Mayes.
Your pet’s a member of your family, and I’m here to capture your bond in a photo session you’ll remember forever.
Get ready for an experience that captures exactly what life with pets is all about.
Your photo experience from start to finish
We’ll start with a chat
First things first: we’ll chat by email or phone so I can learn about your amazing pet.
Session date & location
We'll pick a session day and time for you. For dog photo sessions, we'll select one of my favourite outdoor locations or one that’s customised to you.
Your session guide
Once you’re booked in, you'll receive a handy guide that makes what to bring, wear and prepare for photo day a breeze.
It’s photo day!
Get ready for a relaxed, comfortable photo session that’ll be one of the best days you ever spend with your pet.
Ordering artwork
After photo day, we'll schedule your Ordering Appointment to select photographs and artwork crafted from your session.
Stunning cat photos in your own home
My dog photo sessions are captured outdoors, where dogs can be themselves.
But for cats, we’ll capture their photographs in the environment where they’re most comfortable - your home.
Cat photo sessions include a pre-shoot visit so I can meet your pets and plan a perfectly relaxed photo session for you.
