Meant to say Thursday, not Friday. It was a LONG extended weekend 😵‍💫😂🐾 The first Pop-Up Studio portraits are ready! 🐾

Thursday's white background portraits from the DQ Scent Work State Titles have now been edited and uploaded to the web gallery. 🤍

If your dog popped into the studio on Thursday , head over and have a look — there are some absolutely gorgeous faces in there!

Portraits are available to purchase directly through the gallery.

More Pop-Up Studio portraits will be added as I work my way through them, so keep an eye on the group. 😊

Excellent & Masters Containers are ready to view! 🐾

My coverage for the 2026 DQ Scent Work State Titles includes Excellent and Masters Containers. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to cover Novice and Advanced Containers this year while also running the Top Dog pop-up portrait studio.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by over the four days — it was a huge weekend and lovely to see so many familiar faces and dogs.

Event photos are $15 each, with multi-image discounts available.

And now the editing begins on all those pop-up portraits! 😁 I’ll post here as each group is finished and ready to view.

Third time lucky 💜
This is the third year I’ve run my pop-up studio at the Queensland Scent Work State Titles, and for the last couple of years Kim has been trying to find time to bring her own dog in for a portrait.

But when you’re busy running an event like this, finding time for yourself isn’t always easy!

Today I spotted Kim and her dog and decided this was finally our chance - and after 3 years, finally got Kim’s dog in front of my camera 📸.

A huge thank you to Kim and everyone working behind the scenes to make the State Titles happen.

Tomorrow is also day 3, and we don’t have the space available on Sunday, so if you’ve been thinking about coming in, tomorrow is your last chance.

Thanks to everyone who popped into the studio today! 😊

Tomorrow we’ll be starting with PURPLE 💜. I’ll post here when the studio opens and again as each colour change happens throughout the day.

I’ll be photographing Containers in the morning, and I’m aiming to have the studio set up and ready to go around 30 minutes after Containers finish.

Here are just a few of the gorgeous dogs who stopped in today. 📸🐾

And if you haven’t expressed an interest in the lead-up to the event, you’re still more than welcome to pop by and have a photo done.

See you all tomorrow! 😊

📸 STATE TITLES POP-UP STUDIO — FINAL LIST & HOW IT WILL WORK

Okay, I think I finally have everyone accounted for! 😊

BACKDROP ORDER

🤍 Thursday: White → Teal → Purple
💜 Friday: Purple → Teal → White
🤍 Saturday: White → Teal → pack up

A few important things about how this will work:

The order of the names within each colour doesn’t matter. There are no individual appointment times. If your colour is up and you’re free, come over and we’ll get your portraits done.

I’ll only be changing each backdrop once during the day. Once I’ve finished everyone waiting for a colour and changed to the next one, I won’t be putting the previous colour back up that day. So please don’t leave it until “later” if you’re free and your colour is already up. 😊

Thursday is my most flexible studio day, as I don’t have Containers to photograph that day. So I’m going to try to get as many dogs through the studio on Thursday as I reasonably can.

If you’re currently listed for Friday or Saturday, but you find yourself at the showgrounds and free on Thursday while your colour is up, please come over! I’m very happy to move you forward and get your portraits done early. The same applies across the other days — if you’re free earlier than planned and your backdrop happens to be up, come and see me.

Likewise, if your colour isn’t up yet but you know you’d like to have portraits done later that day, come over and let me know you’re there. I’ll add/check you on my list so I know to expect you when that backdrop goes up.

Not on the list? That’s okay too! If you decide during the event that you’d like a portrait, just come over. If your preferred backdrop is already up and I have room, we can do it then. If it’s coming up later, I’ll add you to the list for that colour.

If you’re listed for two colours, you don’t have to have both. I’ve included both because you expressed interest in them and I’m happy to photograph both. Just let me know if you decide you only want one.

I know everyone will be juggling searches, presentations and everything else that comes with State Titles, so I’ll be as flexible as I can around competition commitments. All I ask in return is that if your colour is up and you’re available, please come over rather than leaving it until later.

Once I’ve finished everyone on my list for the day, plus anyone else who has come over and let me know they’re waiting, I’ll be packing up and heading home to start downloading, backing up and editing the competition photos — so I won’t be hanging around at the end of the day just in case someone turns up. 😊

Hopefully that gives everyone plenty of flexibility while still letting me keep the studio moving!

One final check of the list above tonight please — if I’ve missed you, have the wrong colour, wrong day or wrong number of dogs, let me know. Otherwise… see you tomorrow! 🐾📸

📸 STATE TITLES POP-UP STUDIO — FINAL PLAN

A quick note about this year’s portraits:
This year I’m keeping the pop-up studio to head-and-chest portraits, similar to the examples shown here, rather than the full-body portraits I’ve offered in previous years. With the studio space and setup available this year, this format will give me the best and most consistent results — and hopefully keep things moving nicely during a very busy State Titles!

Thank you to everyone who replied to my original post and the shared post! Based on your responses, I’ve worked out the studio plan for the three days.

I’ve allocated everyone who expressed interest to a specific day and backdrop. If I’ve put you on a day that genuinely won’t work with your competition schedule, please let me know today and I’ll see what I can do.

THURSDAY

🤍 WHITE FIRST
• Jaimie Ivy
• Lauren Ford
• Melanie Louisa — 2 dogs
• Kate Moorfield

🩵 THEN TEAL
• Kate Moorfield
• Janette Rintoul

FRIDAY

🩵 TEAL FIRST
• Jessica Liebig

🤍 THEN WHITE
• Clara Thompson — 3 dogs
• Louise Chambers — 4 dogs

SATURDAY

🤍 WHITE FIRST
• Sandra Walters
• Kinnie Mienie — 2 dogs together

🩵 THEN TEAL
• Kinnie Mienie — 2 dogs
• Colleen Stieler-Hunt

I know State Titles is a very busy event, with everyone juggling searches, presentations and everything else that’s going on, so of course I’ll do my best to work around competition commitments.

All I ask is that if your backdrop is up and you’re free, please make your portrait a priority and come over rather than leaving it until later. 😊

Once everyone who is there for that colour has been photographed, I’ll change to the next backdrop and I won’t be changing it back again that day.

Obviously, I’m not expecting anyone to abandon a search and come sprinting across the grounds for a photo 😂 — just come and see me as soon as you’re free while your backdrop is up.

Once I’ve photographed everyone on my list for the day, plus anyone else who is there and ready to go, I’ll be packing up and heading home. I’ll have a mountain of competition photos to download, back up and edit each night, so unfortunately I won’t be able to hang around waiting for stragglers.

🚨 LAST CALL!

If you haven’t already put your name down and would like a white or teal studio portrait, please comment today with your preferred colour and which day(s) you’re available.

Tomorrow is Day 1, so this is your last chance to be added to the planned sessions.

I’ll absolutely try to accommodate last-minute requests during the event if I have space — so if you see me shooting and decide you’d love one, please come over and ask! Just keep in mind that once I’ve finished everyone on my list and anyone else who is there ready to go, I’ll be packing up for the day rather than waiting around for possible latecomers.

And finally, if you already replied but I’ve somehow missed your name above, please yell out now! Facebook has scattered the replies across two posts, so it’s entirely possible I’ve missed somebody. 😂

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! 🐾📸

POP-UP STUDIO – DQ Scent Work State Titles 2026 🐾📸

I’ll be bringing the pop-up studio along to the Scent Work State Titles again this year!

I’m looking at running the studio Thursday, Friday and/or Saturday once Containers have finished for the day. As we won’t know exact finishing times until the event is underway, there won’t be set session times or bookings at this stage.

Before I decide which days to run it — and which backdrop to put up each day — I’d love to get an idea of who’s interested.

If you’d like some studio photos, comment below with:

🐾 Which day(s) suit you: Thursday, Friday, Saturday or ANY DAY

🎨 Your preferred backdrop: WHITE, BLUE, TEAL, PURPLE or PINK

Feel free to give me more than one option — for example “Thursday or Friday – Blue or Teal” or “Any day – White.”

I’ll have one backdrop colour up per day, and I’ll use everyone’s preferences to work out which colours and days suit the most people.

If there’s not enough interest on a particular day, I may not run the studio that day, so please comment if you’re genuinely interested.

Pricing
$40 per edited digital image
3 images – $100
5 images – $150

No sitting fee and no obligation to purchase. I’ll photograph your dog, upload the finished images to an online gallery, and you can choose and purchase only the ones you love.

Have a look through the five example photos for the backdrop choices, then pop your day(s) + colour preference(s) in the comments. 😊

Can’t wait to see everyone again

This is Loki. We met him at Red Beach last night while chasing a sunset photo with Buddy.

He decided Buddy was the best thing on the beach, but he still sat long enough for this.

Sky did the rest.

If you'd like photos like this of your dog, feel free to get in touch.
