🐾 Welcome to the Golden Oldies - Senior Dogs of West Gippsland Book Project and Photo Experience 2026
Thank you so much for your interest in being part of this very special project. If you’ve landed here, it means you’ve already taken the first step toward honouring the beautiful senior dog in your life – and I couldn’t be more thrilled.
After the success of my 2025 project, I’ve decided to create Volume 2 of my coffee table book featuring the beloved senior dogs of West Gippsland – and I’d love to include your best friend. This project is incredibly close to my heart.
The Golden Oldies is a celebration of the loyal companions who’ve grown older by our side, giving us unconditional love through every season of life. This is their time to be seen, honoured, and remembered – just as they deserve.
💛 What Happens Next?
Over the coming months , I’ll be photographing a carefully selected group of senior dogs (aged 8 and over) from across West Gippsland. Each dog will be featured in a beautifully designed coffee table book, filled with heartfelt images and personal stories.
Your session will include: A relaxed and gentle photographic experience for your dog, either in my Drouin studio or at an outdoor location nearby. If you’d like to include both indoor and outdoor sessions, let me know.
A feature in the Golden Oldies book
You’ll receive a $400 gift voucher and the opportunity to purchase prints or artwork.
Your whole session fee of $50 donated by you directly to Pawfect Pals animal rescue.

With many years experience working with Dogs, I understand their needs and take the time to let them settle into a space. Making sure they are comfortable and happy before we start. I also understand that being older, they may not be as spritely as they once were, so we can take our time keep things low key if need be.
Each golden oldie photographed will be featured in the book with a small selection of photos and a short story about them. It’s a love note about these special dogs who have made such an impact on our lives and an insight into their personality and charm. There is also the opportunity to include other dogs and family members if you wish. (They may or may not be included in the book, that is up to you)
Important note: Obviously, I will be taking a whole series of photos to best capture your old friend. Each session comes with a $400 photo credit to spend on wall art. I specialize in beautiful, printed art with individual prices starting at $378 and packages from $1778. On average, people tend to spend between 2k and 3.5k which includes a range of stunning images and wall art, plus you receive the corresponding digital files. Please consider this when applying.
🐶 Because They’re More Than Just Pets…
