The Dear Dog Exhibition opens at Artrise Gallery in Sunbury this Wednesday.

The exhibition features portraits of dogs with their people from the Dear Dog book, together with letters they’ve written about what their dogs mean to them.

Some thanked their dogs for helping them through difficult times. Others wrote about the laughter and companionship they share every day. Just as each relationship is different, so is each letter.

Join me for the opening event on Saturday 14 November, from 11 am to 1 pm. Everyone is welcome.

The exhibition runs from 11 November 2026 to 30 January 2027. For more details, click on the link in my bio.

Jack got Milo as a graduation present to himself. His first pet has since become a much-loved member of the family.

Milo is a sociable, people-loving toy Cavoodle who, according to Jack, sometimes helps himself to slippers or drying underwear when he wants attention or a game of fetch.

At 20 months old, he brought oodles of joy (no pun intended) to his Sunbury studio session, and he loved all the delicious treats. The session was so much fun, and I created a beautiful collection of portraits for Jack to choose from.

If you wrote a letter to your dog telling them what they mean to you, what would you say?

For the Dear Dog book project, I photographed people with their dogs and asked them to put those feelings into a letter to go with their portraits.

For many people, this was surprisingly hard. How do you put such a complex, beautiful connection into words? Nearly everyone told me there were tears when they thought about what they wanted to say.

Dear Dog features these portraits and letters and raises funds for Starting Over Dog Rescue. So far, the project has raised $2,200, with more to come from book sales.

I’ll share more details once the book is available to purchase.

Hi, I’m Abi. I’ve had a few new followers recently, so I thought I’d reintroduce myself.

I’m a pet and equine photographer based in Sunbury, Melbourne. I offer studio and outdoor pet sessions, as well as equine photography, and help you choose your favourite portraits and design artwork for your home.

Nervous or anxious pets are welcome, with plenty of time to settle and a session adapted to their needs.

I taught French for 26 years before changing careers. I have a Weimaraner called Abraham and a cat called Nikau.

I also work with various animal rescues, photographing pets who are looking for new homes.

Swipe through to find out more about my pet photography, or send me a DM for more information about booking a session.

At home, Pingvin is the one who keeps everyone company. Vivian says she stays close when someone is unwell and purrs even louder when they’re sad.

Pingvin was nervous when she arrived at my Sunbury studio, so I gave her plenty of time to take in her surroundings. She found a corner to hide in, then gradually ventured out to explore and took a particular liking to my little green chair.

Once she’d settled in, we had a gentle, relaxed session.

There was plenty of time to let her get comfortable, and she was a pleasure to photograph as she grew more confident.

Sarah and Luke brought Oreo, their Dalmatian, and Levi, their American Staffy, to my Sunbury studio for an energetic dog photography session.

Sarah left a lovely review:

“We had an amazing photo shoot with Abi, she was absolutely fantastic and her work is amazing. Our dogs loved her and she kept them calm and didn’t rush them. She waited till they were comfortable. I couldn’t recommend her enough. It was a really great experience. The studio is set up beautifully 😍”

Thank you for the lovely words, Sarah. You, Luke, Oreo and Levi were such fun to photograph, and I’m glad you love your portraits.

After losing a pet, clients often tell me how glad they are they booked a photography session and how much their portraits mean to them.

They already valued them, but after saying goodbye, seeing their beloved pet in those portraits has become a different kind of comfort.

For those who were photographed with their pet, there’s also something precious about having photographs of themselves together.

Their artwork was chosen to enjoy in their home. It’s still there to be enjoyed, but now there’s also the comfort of seeing the beautiful face they miss so much every day.

Macy is a four-year-old Weimaraner who came in for a session with her person Louise.

Louise describes her as affectionate, protective and more than a little goofy. She also told me that Macy smiles, properly smiles, every morning and whenever she greets the family at the door.

Louise says she’s Macy’s favourite person, and that was pretty easy to see during their session. Macy stayed close to her, regularly checking where she was and clearly preferring to have Louise nearby.

Your portrait session is only the first part of the process.

A week or so afterwards, we sit down together, either online or in person, for your ordering appointment. This is when you see your portraits properly for the first time and start deciding which ones you'd like to keep.

We go through your portraits together, and I’ll help you narrow down your favourites, look at the different artwork options and work out what will suit your home and the space you have available.

You don't need to know beforehand which portraits you'll want, what size would work or what would look best on your walls. That's what the appointment is for, and I'll guide you through those decisions so you can choose what works for you.

After a week of voting, the Dear Dog Cover Competition ended in a tie, with both Smudge and Pepper receiving 73 votes.

Both portraits would have made beautiful covers, so the final decision came down to which image I felt best represented Dear Dog and the connection between dogs and the people who love them.

Pepper’s portrait has been one of my favourites from the beginning and was actually one of the images I originally had in mind for the cover. There’s something about the connection between Megan and Smudge in their portrait, with their foreheads touching, that captures so much of what Dear Dog is about.

Introducing Smudge, who will be the beautiful girl appearing on the cover of Dear Dog.

There is also a sadness to this announcement. Both Smudge and Pepper have passed away since I photographed them, making these portraits even more special to their families.

Thank you to everyone who voted, and to every person and dog who has been part of Dear Dog.

We have raised $2,200 for Starting Over Dog Rescue so far, with more to come from book sales.
