Backyard Chaos and a Very Good Dog

Family Documentary Photography on the Mornington Peninsula

This session wasn’t about perfect photos. It was about a dog. A very good one. The kind who’d been there through babies, birthdays, chaos and ordinary Tuesdays - and who, quietly, wasn’t going to be around much longer. We met in the backyard - kids running, grass under bare feet, that slightly wild energy that happens when you tell children to “just be normal” and then introduce a camera. It was loud, affectionate, messy and completely theirs. Exactly how it should be.
