Dog Photography Fees and Inclusions
During the photo session, I will capture many gorgeous portraits and action shots of your dog. Choose from my list of beautiful and dog-friendly locations around Sydney or your dog’s favourite places to go! Sessions take place in parks, beaches, rivers, forests and urban areas.
I have a good understanding of dog behaviour, which enables me to connect with your beloved pooch quickly. Working with rescue dogs taught me to be patient and incredibly fast to capture the best photos of your pet. Don’t worry, your dog doesn’t need to have any training to be a model!
Each session is full of fun, play and yummy treats, so your dog can relax and enjoy the adventure as much as possible!

How it works
STEP 1
Pick your package
Depending on how many images you’d like to get from the session, pick one of my pre-paid packages. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need a help to decide.
STEP 2
Book your photo session
Simply email me with your preffered days (weekday or weekend), time of day (sunrise or sunset session), photo package, type of location (park, beach, city), and I’ll get back to you with available dates. To guarantee the best light, sessions take place in the early morning or late afternoon – they start 2h before the sunset and right before the sunrise.
When the date is picked and deposit paid, I will recommend a location that works best for you and your dog – based on their personality, level of training and what photos you’d like to get. I’m looking forwad to hearing all about your dog and your day-to-day life, so I can best prepare for the photo shoot and pick the best spots.
STEP 3
Have fun!
During the session I will need your help with dog handling and positioning. Depending on the level of training, location, your dog’s personality, we will work on or off lead. The lead will be removed during the post production, so you don’t need to worry about it being in your photos:)
For candid style images I encourage dogs to have fun, run around and do their doggy things.
STEP 4
Pick your photos
Within 10 days of session you will get an access to your online gallery. You will have a week to pick your photos and get back to me. After you see your images, you will get a chace to upgrade your package and order additional photos as well.
As soon as you decide, I will share with you the high resolution files ready for a print.
Digital Photo Packages
All digital images ordered in small, medium or large packages are saved on a beautiful wooden USB drive and delivered to you, with their 6 x 4″ prints, in a natural, raw looking and sustainable packaging.
Images are fully edited and supplied in 2 versions: full resolution suitable for printing (come with a print release for a personal use) and web resolution for sharing online. This will allow you to share your experience with friends and family as well as create a gorgeous wall art for your home.
EARTH’S BEST FURIEND

Cardboard box and well as all other materials used for product packaging are recyclable, biodegradable or reusable, to reduce the environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you can’t find an answer to your question, please contact me! I’ll happy to answer any additional questions you might have.
When photoshoots are taking place?
Sunrise or in the 2 hours before sunset for the best light. Weekdays are usually less busy with less other people/dogs out at parks and beaches.
Does my dog need to have a recall
No and don’t worry, safety comes first. 90% of the dogs I work with have leashes and collars on. It’s often hard to find an off-leash location in Sydney. All purchased photos are edited, which includes leash/collar removal when needed.
Do you offer prints?
No, not yet. At the moment I only offer high resolution edited digital files in different size packages. You can use them to create your own wall art or album.
Does my dog need to know any tricks?
No. Each dog is different and I love capturing their personalities. I’ve been working with rescues and dogs with basic or no training. Each session is always fun and gives us a good choice of photos.
How do I book?
Either send me an email or fill out contact me form. Let me know the types of images you want, your preferred date, session time (sunrise or sunset). Then we can decide on a location and lock in the photo shoot with your best furiend!
Do I have to be on the photos?
No, you don’t, but dog parents (max. 2x +18 people) are encouraged to be in the photos with their dogs and join the fun. Remember, you don’t have to pick any photos that you don’t love.
What if it rains on the day of the session?
If the weather is not suitable to proceed with a photoshoot, we will reschedule.
Can I bring my kids with me?
No, sorry. Due to safety reasons, all people (max 2 dog parents) attending the session need to be +18.
Do you offer gift cards?
Yes! I offer e-gift cards (digital certificate that you can print by yourself). They can be purchased for any of my all-inclusive pre-paid packages.
What dog parents are saying…
Magda took photos of my beautiful cavalier Queenie. She was amazing to bring out Queenies personality and chose an amazing spot for the photos. Highly Recommend!
Magda was awesome, so patient with our crazy puppy – photos turned out beautifully and we love them! We love her style of art and photography, we will definitely be back when we get our second doggo 🙂
Couldn’t be happier with the photos Magda took of my furbaby Humphrey. He’s still very young and doesn’t always listen to commands (or even sit still) and yet Magda managed to capture some truly beautiful shots with her patience and skill… it is obvious when someone really loves what they do. Would not hesitate to recommend her to all my friends 🙂
Our puppy Wilson absolutely loved Magda from Your Best Furiend! Magda is amazing when it comes to capturing the best moment at the best place. It was a fun experience and the photos turned out absolutely gorgeous. We highly recommend Your Best Furiend!
