Welcome to Living Image Photography, we specialise in capturing life's precious moments with artistry and passion. I'm Simon Carroll, the proud owner and photographer behind this Yarra Valley, Victoria-based studio, where creativity meets expertise.
With over 40 years of professional portrait experience, I've assembled a team of gifted individuals who share my love for creating timeless portraits that transcend the ordinary. Our true passion lies in capturing the natural beauty and innocence of children, the heartwarming bond between dogs and their families, and the essence of life's fleeting moments.
We believe that every story deserves to be told, and every emotion deserves to be preserved. That's why we pour our hearts into creating stunning artwork that not only adorns your walls but also becomes a cherished heirloom, passed down through generations.
Our commitment to excellence extends beyond our photography. We proudly publish beautiful coffee table books like "German Shepherds of Australia, US - Our Stories" and "Shoot the Dog," showcasing the profound connection between dogs and their human companions. These books are not just works of art; they're also vehicles for giving back. With over $100,000 donated to Australian Animal Shelters, we're making a positive impact on the lives of countless furry friends.
At Living Image Photography, we believe in the power of photography to capture the essence of life and create lasting memories. We're honoured to share our passion with you and help you document your life's journey, one frame at a time.
I cannot speak highly enough of Simon's incredible professionalism, compassion, and artistry. My beloved 10.5-year-old German Shepherd, Georgie Girl, was unexpectedly diagnosed with terminal cancer. Overwhelmed with grief, I contacted Simon for a final photoshoot, knowing time was fleeting. Despite his own challenges, Simon rushed to my home and captured our last precious moments together on a gloomy, heart-wrenching day.
The photos he created are pure artistry, a priceless gift during an excruciating time. Simon’s kindness and talent shine through in every image, and I will forever treasure these memories of Georgie Girl. Thank you, Simon, for your beautiful soul and extraordinary work. ❤️

Simon has taken photos for us on several occasions over the last few years. He has always captured a true image of our family and how we relate to each other.
Every time we have had a wonderful experience and the photographs have been exceptional, he even managed to get smiling photos of my young grand daughter when she seemed to be doing nothing but cry all day. The images are beautifully sharp and composed and the final presentation is very classy.
I would always use Simon for our family photos and very highly recommend Simon and Living Image for any photographic work

We spent the morning with Simon at his studio with my bouncy 20 month old GSD, Gordon. Simon did a brilliant job in getting some amazing shots of Gordon. An experience I highly recommend and we will definitely do an update shoot when Gordon gets a brother or sister down the track! Thanks!

Took up an amazing opportunity to participate in the book German Shepherds of Australia and raise money for German Shepherd Rescue Victoria. From the model interview right through to the photo shoot Simon and his team were a pleasure to work with, both Kaden and I had lots of fun during the photo shoot. The photos are absolutely stunning and I am looking forward to seeing the finished product of the book. Thank You

What can I say when it comes to professionalism and creativity Simon is definitely the person to see, he has been in the industry for along long time. We had a glorious photoshoot with our German Shepherd Luna at home and also down at the beach. After a few hours the photos were ready, we were invited to the studio to view all the shots. Nice comfortable atmosphere, coffee and tea offered and then the viewing on the projector against the wall all I can say is what a perfect experience. Thank you Simon and now we have the perfect photos that capture Luna in her purest form.

Simon is amazing and I would not hesitate to recommend him. I treasure all the photos he has taken of my family over the past 15 years. Feel so lucky to have found him. Always impossible to choose a favourite photo as they are all so fantastic.

We had Simon photograph our dogs (2 rescue whippets) for his annual "Shoot the Dog" Coffee Table Book. Not only was he hardworking, professional and very friendly, his photos were incredible! We purchased several framed photos from him, and are going back to get some more soon. We put two of our mates onto him with two big boofy boxers and the owners were over the moon. His staff were also very lovely and accommodating. Highly recommended.
