Where are you located?
Our home studio is based in Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast. All sessions take place here, where we have a full professional setup. For larger commercial bookings (such as doggy day cares), we are also available to travel—just get in touch to discuss.
How experienced are you?
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 15 years around the world, with the past 10 years dedicated to capturing pets. Animals are my absolute passion, and I love creating beautiful portraits that show off their unique personalities.
What is your studio like?
Happy Tails is a purpose built home studio that has an extensive range of props, themed backdrops, and top-of-the-range lighting to bring out the best in your pet. Every session is tailored to your animal—have a look at my gallery for inspiration, and if you have something specific in mind, let me know!
How long does a session take?
Most sessions last about an hour, but this can be shorter or longer depending on your pet’s needs. We go at their pace.
Do you only photograph dogs?
Nope! While dogs are our most common visitors, I’ve photographed everything from cats and chickens to mice and frogs. Whatever your pet, they’re welcome at Happy Tails.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes! Gift vouchers are available and make the perfect present for any pet lover. Please see our Pricing page to purchase. https://louisewolbersphotography.com.au/pricing/
How do we get our photos?
After your session, you’ll be invited back to view your unedited images and select the ones you’d like to have fully edited. Please check the Pricing page for the full range of products available, including digital files, prints, and wall art.
What if my dog is anxious, shy, or full of energy?
That’s completely fine—I’ve seen it all! I create a calm, friendly environment and work with your dog at their own pace. Whether they can’t sit still for more than a second or are nervous in new places, we’ll still get beautiful photos.
What should I bring to the session?
I provide toys and treats, but if your dog has a favorite that helps them feel relaxed or hold a pose, please bring it along.
Do I need to do anything during the session?
Yes—owners are a big part of helping! You know your dog best, so your help with getting their attention, keeping them seated, or showing off their favorite tricks is invaluable. I understand dogs will be excited in a new environment, and that’s perfectly normal. Together, we’ll make it fun and stress-free while capturing their true personality.
What is your cancellation policy?
Life happens! If you need to reschedule, please give as much notice as possible. Cancellations or reschedules within 48 hours may incur a fee, but we’ll always do our best to accommodate you.
