Hi, I’m Michael, a passionate photographer with a deep appreciation for animals, people, and the connections we share. I specialise in capturing the unique spirit of every pet, child, and family, creating timeless, natural images that celebrate their personality and joy. Whether it’s a playful pet session or a heartfelt family portrait, I’m here to turn special moments into lasting memories.
What started as a simple hobby and an escape from a busy lifestyle soon became my passion. Photography gave me a way to slow down, connect with the outdoors, and appreciate the beauty around me. I spent early mornings chasing breathtaking coastal sunrises, carefully capturing every detail and the ever-changing colours of the sky.
Everything changed when I welcomed Jessie, my adorable Beagle puppy. Naturally, I began photographing her and the pets of my family members, and that’s when I discovered something truly special—capturing the personality and spirit of dogs through my lens. Seeing the joy these portraits brought to their owners, knowing they would cherish these moments forever, made photography even more meaningful to me.
Fast forward to today, and that passion has only grown. With years of experience and continued learning, I’ve shaped my own unique approach to photography. While dogs remain close to my heart, I now also focus on capturing the love and connection within families—especially the beautiful bond between children and their beloved pets.
As I continue to grow, I’ve started entering my work into photography awards—winning some along the way—which has been an exciting and rewarding journey. I’m also fortunate to be mentored by some of the top photographers in the country, constantly refining my craft to offer the best experience and imagery for my clients.
It may sound cliché, but it’s true—my biggest inspiration comes from the people who trust me to preserve their most precious moments.
