Award -Winning Brisbane Pet Photography Creating Heartfelt Timeless Memories with Your Furry Friend
A Heartfelt Photography Experience for Senior & Terminally Ill Dogs

A Final Gift of Love for Your Best Friend
Saying goodbye is the hardest part of loving a dog. No matter how many years we have with them, it’s never enough. Their paws leave prints on our hearts, and when the time comes to let go, the thought of losing them is unbearable.
I understand because I’ve been there and I’ve had many clients who have lost their best mate, and they’re so grateful that I captured their dog’s story for them. Your dog isn’t just a pet—they are your best friend, your family, your comfort on the hardest days.I know that your dog isn’t just a pet—they are your best friend, your family, your comfort on the hardest days.

The adage "never work with children or animals" certainly doesn't hold true when it comes to Paul. I had the privilege of having Paul apply his photographic expertise to my senior Boxer, and he masterfully not only captured the true spirit of my beloved pet but also conveyed the deep, heartfelt connection that shines through in every photograph. It's with utmost enthusiasm that I wholeheartedly endorse Paul; he has bestowed upon us a timeless testament to the affection we hold for our cherished companion

"Paul was an absolute pleasure! His talent behind the lens truly shines through in the stunning photos he captured of my beloved dog Daisy. Not only did he possess a keen eye for composition and lighting, but his patience and genuine love for animals made the entire experience enjoyable. Each snapshot perfectly encapsulates the personality and spirit of my dog, creating timeless memories I'll cherish forever. I highly recommend Paul for anyone looking to immortalize their pet's precious moments" Catherine

I would highly recommend Paul Elby Photography for his professionalism and skills to create a wonderful pictorial memory of your pet.
Before the shoot, Paul asked if Ace had any special characteristics, favourite places or toys and he then captured them perfectly!
His love for animals and passion for capturing the perfect shot was evident and this was reflected in the completed album.

Kitty Firestone ★★★★★
Our family had a photoshoot with Paul recently and got some really special images.
Clementine is a senior and Paul was conscious of her enjoyment of the session and need for rest / water / breaks in pose
Loved his use of a squeaky toy to get those super cute head tilt shots and Clementine was very happy with the treats.
Beautiful details and good variety of images & poses.
Very happy and highly recommend Paul for capturing beautiful images of any dog in your life and your relationship with them!

It was great to work with Paul to get photos of my cat and dog. He knows the tricks for getting a somewhat nervous dog to relax, resulting in fabulous photos! The wonderful images Paul was able to capture will be wonderful memories for years to come. Paul is also friendly and easy to work with. Would recommend him!

Koda Phoenix★★★★★
Paul was super friendly and sweet, and made the whole experience really nice for me. I’ve never had a location photoshoot, and with two dogs, including one 3 month old puppy, it was so much to have someone who let things happen naturally.
While I only purchased one photo from him, there were several that really caught my eye, so his skills are no joke, narrowing them down was hard.
I definitely recommend Paul if you want a photoshoot done, especially if you have dogs you want to memorialise for years to come -

Marilyn Kluyskens ★★★★★
Had the most wonderful experience getting a family photoshoot done with our two dogs. Paul was very thoughtful in his approach and took time to understand our lifestyle and personalities, (including the dogs!) so that he could capture that in the photos. We chose an outdoor location with plenty of space and options for some action photos. The dogs really enjoyed the experience too and all the attention. Could not be happier with the result!

Just want to say a big thankyou to Paul for doing such a wonderful job of photographing our 18 year old dog, Charlie. As you can imagine trying to get your message across to a deaf dog with failing eyesight isn't easy. But Paul was extremely kind and patient with Charlie and managed some great photos of our gorgeous boy. We highly recommend Paul to capture some memorable shots of you and your fur babies.

Paul Elby - That chilled guy
It all started with Oscar, our beloved dog, whose antics inspired me to photograph dogs in action. But it was a near-tragic accident that almost took him from us that truly solidified my understanding of the deep bond we share with our pups. It reinforced what I already knew—dogs aren't just pets; they're family. The beautiful natural light and stunning outdoor locations around Brisbane provide the perfect backdrop for capturing these special connections. Most of our photoshoots are in and around the suburbs, but we're always up for an adventurous location. I've since had the privilege of capturing countless similar bonds, especially with senior dogs, and hearing from their owners how much these lasting memories mean to them—a true testament to the love we share with our furry mate. — Paul Elby
