Animal Antics ~ UNLEASHED! | Pet Portrait event to support the RSPCA

Animal Antics is our annual Pet Portrait Event to support and raise much needed funds for the RSPCA created and run by Sam I am | Portrait Photographer. It's happening all over again this August for what will be it's fourth consecutive year! To participate all you need to do is make a $30 donation to cover your portrait session fee. All session fees and all proceeds from the UNLEASHED 2014 calendar (available to pre-order) will be donated directly to the RSPCA at the conclusion of this years event.

Animal Antics was first launched in 2010, knowing what a wonderful job that the RSPCA do, being a not for profit organisation, they can always do with a hand. Since it's inaugural year this event has raised more than $3500 and 400 kg of dog food! I'm looking forward to making an even bigger impact in 2013 -If you have any questions please register here and I'll be in touch. I can't wait to meet your "other" family members!

Together we CAN make a difference!

IPSWICH PET PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER | FLINDERS VIEW VET SURGERY | SARAH & ANDREW

Pet's and their humans.....lets face it, people with kids say that theirs is the cutest and all dog lovers say that they have the GREATEST dog ever.  Dogs...... they love nothing more than to love and be loved, they are the most loyal "people" in our lives, they see us at our best and certainly at our worst.  They never judge us.    For many they are the best, life long companion to have ever come into our lives.  Their lives are so simple.  Wake up, get loved, eat, play, sleep, eat play, wait eagerly for their humans to arrive home from work, and get loved some more.  Take up way to much room in the bed, kiss their humans good night and of course good morning (way before we needed to wake up) get into way too much mischief....Yet these creatures bring so much joy to our lives, we wonder what we did before we got them, and what we'll do without them - one day.

Sarah and Andrew are Kiah and Sally's humans, they are their Best Friends....they also happen to have just opened our local Vet Surgery in Flinders View.....needless to say they have a passion for animals in general, but boy oh boy do they love their pooches!!  We were fortunate enough to venture out to this private property at Walloon....and I must say that I haven't met such well behaved dogs, off lead before - ever!!  Our beagles would have had no chance off lead with all the wonderful farm smells around.....

Introducing Sally (Border Collie), Kiah (Rottie X), Sarah (Practice Manager) and Andrew (Veterinarian) .......I had such a wonderful afternoon, getting to know these pets and their humans.

ANIMAL ANTICS | RSPCA | IPSWICH PET PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER |

Every July for the past 3 years, we have been photographing pets from all walks of life.  Animal Antics is our very own Pet Portrait Event, where instead of a $30 session fee, we collected the $30 as a donation for the RSPCA.    For this donation we photographed the pet or in many cases, the pets, so their owners could have cherished memories of them captured forever.  Animal Antics this year was our biggest yet, with more than 60 animals photographed and more than $1800 collected for the RSPCA.  

We also launched our first ever calendar competition.  2013 Calendars are now available for pre-order at $29.80 each,  each of the Calendar stars are pictured below.  We are always blown away with the support we receive for our Animal Antics Event and this year is no exception, we certainly met some amazing people, heard some truly inspirational stories, but most importantly photographed the regions most loveliest pets, including many dogs, one cat, one lizard named Stanley and 3 gorgeous horses.  I am interested to see what our 2013 Animal Antics Event brings, or should I say who???

and the WINNERS.......
