Has your dog helped heal your heart?
Has your best friend carried you through heartbreak, loss, loneliness, or change, been your comfort, your strength, your calm in the chaos?
Has their love soothed your mind, lifted your spirits, or helped you find joy again?
Have you rescued them… only to realise they rescued you right back?
If this sounds like your story, or someone you know, it deserves to be told.
At the warm and welcoming Heart Dogs Studio in Belmont, we’ll capture the bond you share in stunning, soulful portraits…
and the story you share together will become a beautiful double-page spread in the upcoming coffee table book, Dogs of Lake Mac 2025 – The Healing Edition.
Not only will your dog grace the pages of this meaningful community project, but you’ll also have the chance to create a masterpiece for your own home, artwork that celebrates your best friend every single day.
Spaces are limited and only available for a short time ...... don’t miss this chance.
Read through the information below, and together as a wonderful dog loving community, we will create something amazing within the book, while helping other dogs find their forever person too.

This year’s Healing Edition is a heartfelt tribute to the bond between dogs and their humans — and how that connection can change lives.
We’re shining a light on the stories that often go untold:
The way our dogs have supported us through anxiety, grief, isolation or change
How we’ve shown up for them through trauma, rescue, recovery or loss
The everyday joy, comfort and laughter they bring into our lives
This book isn’t just about beautiful images. It’s about creating something lasting.
A legacy. A message. A moment of connection.
About Your Photoshoot
You will be photographed together with your dog in our Heart Dogs Studio in Belmont.
Sessions run for approximately 1–2 hours and are relaxed, fun, and designed to capture the love you share.
Your story can be as big or as little as you like as long as your dog improves your mental health on a daily basis, that’s what matters.
After your session, we’ll schedule an ordering and story session (either in-studio or via Zoom) within 1–2 weeks.
This is when you can choose printed products (if you wish) and we will finalise your story for your double-page spread.
The photographer will select the image to be featured in the book, and the story will be shaped together with you. You’ll see and approve the final story before it is published.
Giving Back
$50 from your session fee will be donated to a rescue organisation of your choice.
(You can even reach out to them and get them on board to help get more dogs featured in the book!)
Special Bonuses
Exclusive pricing applies only to this book project, it’s a one-time opportunity.
10% off our standard price list when you choose your printed products at your ordering session.
Limited sessions and dates available. Once they’re booked, they’re gone...... so don’t miss out!

As two rescues, we were so paw-leased that Kelly was so patient and kind. Her passion for us doggos really shows in her photography. Mum really loves our beautiful paw-traits and we're pretty chuffed to be up on the walls at home.
"We'll treasure them forever."

Our Mum, Pippa, took us to have our paw-trait taken along with our two small humans. Kelly was patient with our two very different personalities, AND a grumpy toddler. She has captured the most beautiful photos. 10/10 recommend!
"Nothing short of a miracle worker!"
