Working Dog Photography Packages
You know that dog — the one that never needs telling twice. The one you brag about at the sale yards without even realising you're doing it.
One day you'll want more than just a memory.
On-farm portrait sessions across New Zealand, capturing your working dogs in their element. Real dogs, real work, real moments. I come to your place, work around your schedule, and get the shots that matter before the day gets away on us.
The Mainstay
– Farm Dog Portrait
For that one special dog who deserves their moment.
Some dogs are once in a generation. The kind you talk about for the rest of your life. This session is for that dog — a proper portrait that does them justice while they're still in their prime.
1 dog
45 minute session
10 edited digital images in a private online gallery
8 x 12 inch print mounted on foam board
$250.00
The Shepherd
- Working Team Portrait
For the team that works together every single day.
That team portrait you've always meant to get around to? Let's make it happen. We'll take our time — team shots, individual portraits, the moments in between that you didn't even know you wanted captured.
Up to 6 dogs
60 minute session
30 edited digital images in a private online gallery
16 x 12 inch print mounted on foam board
$500.00
Head Shepherd
- Working Team Portrait (Larger Teams)
For the bigger teams with more stories to tell.
More dogs means more characters, more dynamics, more moments worth capturing. With extra time on your hands, we can work different locations on the farm, separate the headers from the huntaways, and make sure every dog gets their dues.
8+ dogs
90 to 120 minute session
50 edited digital images in a private online gallery

The Station Package
For stations where the whole team deserves to be celebrated.
This one's for the stations where the dogs aren't just a team — they're a culture. A half day on farm, covering every team, every shepherd, every combination worth documenting. Makes a brilliant gift for hard-working shepherds who'd never think to do this for themselves.

Half day on-farm shoot
Individual team portraits
Individual teams with their shepherd
Group shots — all the heading dogs, all the huntaways
