A relaxed portrait sitting, a place in German Shepherds of Australia Volume Two, and a bespoke, archival artwork worthy of your dog. Every dog photographed helps German Shepherd Rescue Victoria save the next.
This was never a vanity project. Every owner who takes part makes a $100 donation, delivered in full to German Shepherd Rescue Victoria, the volunteers who pull shepherds back from being surrendered, abandoned or put down. Volume One raised more than $25,000 for them. Volume Two is how we do it again, with your dog on the page.
The one who knows your moods before you do. The one at the door, at your feet, on the end of the bed they are absolutely not allowed on. You have a thousand photographs on your phone, and not one you would hang on the wall. That is the gap we close: not a snapshot, but a portrait that holds who they truly are.
All German Shepherds are welcome. Every sitting becomes exquisite archival art, made to grace your home with timeless beauty, for generations.
Most owners arrive for the book and leave with an artwork for the wall. Once you have seen your dog as exquisite archival art, a phone screen never feels like enough again.
Tell us your dog's story, and why they matter to you so deeply. Your $100 donation is delivered directly to the rescue.
A relaxed meet where we get to know your dogs, share our past work and the vision for the book, and make sure it is a perfect fit.
A sitting at a dog-safe location, on a day that suits you, calm and entirely on your dog's terms.
A beautiful unveiling of your finished photographs, in person or by Zoom, and the chance to choose an heirloom artwork for your wall, with a $100 credit toward it.
Your photographs are carefully selected, beautifully retouched, and prepared for the design of Volume Two.
Sittings across Victoria, the ACT, New South Wales, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland. Volume Two is published in the final quarter of 2027.
I cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism and impeccable quality of Simon's work. He is not just an artist with exceptional talent, but a very kind man with a beautiful soul, which reflects in his work.
From the model interview right through to the photo shoot, Simon and his team were a pleasure to work with. The photos are absolutely stunning.
A glorious photoshoot with our Luna at home and at the beach, then the viewing at the studio on the projector. What a perfect experience. Now we have the perfect photos that capture Luna in her purest form.
Simon did a brilliant job getting amazing shots of our bouncy 20-month-old Gordon. Highly recommend, and we will be back for an update shoot down the track.
Yes. 100% of the $100 donation is given directly to German Shepherd Rescue Victoria. Volume One raised more than $25,000 for them.
Up to three dogs from one family can share a page. If you have more, contact us and we will see how your brood fits the vision of the book.
