Belinda Richards of Frog Dog Studios is a fairly recent entrant to the Melbourne pet photography scene, but she hasn’t let that stop her from producing some amazing work and gaining plenty of recognition in the press for her projects and awards.

The Footy Dogs project was very popular and popped up all over the place.  It’s fairly typical of her style of work which is studio based and caters for all sorts of animals, and is also a very good cat photographer.

Located in Yarraville, close to Melbourne CBD, Frog Dog describes itself as a luxury boutique pet photography studio.

Dogfolk describe themselves as In-home lifestyle pet photographers in Melbourne, and it seems like they have really captured that segment of the market well.

They take a personalised approach to each shoot and capturing your individual love story with in a candid and creative style of phtography that will bring you joy for years to come.
