Photoshoot Locations
Check out some of my favourite pet photoshoot locations around Adelaide!
Think about the style of artwork you'd love in your home — a moody forest portrait, a bright beach session, or meaningful photos at home.
It’s also important to consider what your pet would enjoy most. Busy beaches can be overwhelming,
so a quiet reserve may be a better fit.
Sessions can also be customised with multiple locations — perhaps a forest or park followed by a beach sunset!
Every session is fully tailored to you and your pets, but here are some of my favourite spots for beautiful photos. Please reach out if you have any questions!
Blackwood Forest
Set amongst the tall pine trees, Blackwood forest has beautiful filtered light shining through the trees at sunset which makes for striking and moody portraits. Being the only National park you can take your dog off leash, its great for getting some running shots as well in the open fields near by. It has vibrant green grass in winter and golden yellows in summer. You can't go wrong any time of the year!
Blackwood forest is a nice quiet place with not too many people. Great for dogs (and humans) who prefer the peace and quiet.

Magic Forest
(Minkarra park)
Magic Forest is a gorgeous mini forest in Happy Valley/Flagstaff Hill area. It has beautiful big trees similar to Blackwood forest although it's a smaller area and more quiet. Perfect for any god but especially for dogs who might be a bit anxious or reactive to other dogs as it is more quiet than other locations.

Kuipto Forest
Nestled among towering pines, Kuitpo Forest is a breathtaking location for Pet & Horse photography. Spanning vast kilometers of lush greenery, it offers diverse backdrops, from sunlit trails to serene clearings and dense woodlands. The towering trees filter soft, dappled light, creating a magical atmosphere perfect for capturing timeless moments.

Port noarlunga, O'sullivans, Kingston park beaches
Port Noarlunga beach & O'Sullivans have beautiful rolling hills in the background and looks stunning when the sun is setting. A perfect spot for those who live south and would like a beach session.
O'Sullivans is one of few off leash dog beaches in summer. Great for dogs who love to run around but can make it busy at times!
Kingston Park Coastal reserve (Seacliff) is a beautiful beach with some grassed lawn areas above as well for a bit of variety. A popular beach for dogs and their families.
40-60 mins from Adelaide CBD
Mount Osmond
Mount Osmond is a stunning hill behind Adelaide only 10 minute up from Portrush road. Being a bit of steep drive up and not having a huge car park, this spot isn't for everyone but if you are up for a bit of an adventure then you will get some of the most magnificent views over Adelaide. The walk from the car park is not difficult so most people will be fine getting around!

Felixstow Reserve
Felixstow Reserve has a great mixture of backdrops including the lower section of the reserve alongside the River Torrens with lots of trees, logs and boulders for your pup to pose on and a large open grassy area which is great for running shots!
