Boaky has faced cancer with quiet courage and a heart full of love. I had the privilege of photographing him recently with his Mum. He's a gentle, soulful presence who reminds us to hold close what matters most. His story is now on the blog. Link in bio. 🐾

A little Easter reminder that the best family moments aren’t perfectly posed—they’re full of wriggly kids, shared treats, wagging tails, a sprinkling of snot, and the kind of joy that sneaks up quietly and stays a while.

Whether you’re chasing chocolate eggs, autumn leaves, or just some much-needed rest—I hope it’s exactly what you need.

Wishing you a gentle long weekend with big love to every bunny in our community.

x Dani.

✨MELBOURNE – I’m headed your way! ✨

I’ll be staying in town for an entire month, and I’m opening up a handful of family and pet photo sessions while I’m there!

If it's been a hot minute and you’ve been thinking it's about time to capture your family – in your backyard, your favourite park, or even curled up at home – I’d love to create something special for you while I’m in town.

📅 Sessions available from mid-May through to mid-June
🐶 Pet + family-friendly
📍Melbourne metro (happy to travel a little!)
📩 DM to book or hit the link in bio

Limited spots available (so I can still squeeze in coffee, cuddles, and dog park hangs too), so get in touch early if you’re keen!

Can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged fam 💛

x Dani.

A couple of sweet moments from a recent session with Calvin and his beautiful family.
This marks the fourth time I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this very good boy and his growing crew. It means so much to have our paths keep crossing—giving me the special chance to witness and capture these fleeting moments in time.

Itty bitty Vinnie met me down at the beach for a special birthday session for his Mum, Amanda.

12 years ago, Mum and Dad (aka Amanda and Lewis) found themselves the most phenomenal little guy in Vincent. A cavalier cross whippet, he's both snuggly with an insatiable need for speed, and possesses a heart overflowing with love to give. His big confident smile won me over the second I saw him trotting towards me along the Grange shorefront, and from there we had a blast zooming across the sand and water, with plenty of stops for cuddles.
It was hard to chose favourite photos from our session - so here is just a skim across the top!

✨ Remembering Red: A One-in-a-Million Greyhound ✨

Jemma and Tom's incomparable Red sadly crossed the rainbow bridge at the end of 2024, but a dog with his spirit, love, and larger-than-life personality will stay with us all forever. From the moment he trotted into Jemma's life in 2018, he was pure magic—vivacious, sassy, and full of joy.

Red wasn’t just an ex-racer; he was family. A GAP Ambassador, a local celebrity, a show-off in his little red booties, and the heart of Jemma and Tom's world. He lived life on his terms—demanding steak, ice cream, head massages, and endless adventures. And of course, he always got what he wanted.

His final days were filled with love, comfort, and everything that made him happiest. Though hearts are shattered, there is endless gratitude for the years of love, laughter, and memories he left behind.

Run free, beautiful boy. You were, and always will be, one in a million. ❤️

Allow me to reintroduce myself as it is a brand new year! 👋🏼

I’m Dani - a passionate storyteller and lifelong animal-lover. Photography has always been meaningful for me having started out way back in 2013. Along my journey I've learned that I’m most passionate about creating beautiful photos that capture natural moments, in the unique story of a person’s relationship with their pet.
Just think of me as a lifestyle family photographer - with pets at the front and centre!

One of my favourite parts of a photo session is hearing all about the bond between pets and their people. Creating Hound in Hand has allowed me to combine my love for natural, authentic photography with the unconditional love between people and their pets.

Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk - I hope we can become real-life friends soon!

Before we head out and vote for the country's next Prime Minister, let's use our voting powers to celebrate some VIPs (Very Important Pets).
Each of the gorgeous pups that I photographed last year are nominated for 2024’s Dog Of The Year.

It's been a delightful exercise in gratitude to look back over the wonderful faces of all the people and pets that I have had the pleasure to photograph over the last 12 months. Thank you to each of you, who invited me to capture your family either out in nature, in the studio, or in your home. My heart feels full 🫶

There is a grand prize for the winner of Dog of the Year (as determined by most votes), and also a prize to be drawn at random for one lucky voter.

Share your favourite nominees here on socials, but head to my website to cast your vote, and win!

"Everyday life with my dogs is pure happiness, I couldn't imagine not having them in my life. Living life with dogs is just better, I'm never alone and I always feel loved."

Rebel is absolutely correct, living with dogs IS better. This nugget of wisdom and many more can be read in full on Rebel and Kaiya's dog blog - now live on the Hound in Hand site.

Hi y'all!

Signing out from here until the new year. Wishing you a happy, safe and restorative holiday period, however you will be spending it.
Me? I'm off to the Gold Coast, to sit poolside with a glass of bubbles and a family-size Toblerone.

In the interim my calendar is still open for bookings for the new year, and don't wander off too far, because my annual Dog Of The Year comp is just around the corner!

Thank you for your support, as always.
I'm incredibly grateful that I am able to do this cup-filling work, and share it with you all.

With warmth and love,

Dani xx

Here's an argument you can bring to Dad when he says flat out 'no' to getting a dog. Hit him with the facts! On average, a family with pets is a happier family.

A dog will boost your mood through their unconditional love. Give them a big cuddle and your natural levels of oxytocin, the “feel-good” hormone, will increase. (aka get high without drugs).

They will help strengthen bonds within your family unit, teach responsibility and personal accountability, and never ever share your secrets. (aka 24/7 therapy).

Getting outside to go to the park or take a walk when you otherwise wouldn't, is not only good for our bodies but fantastic for our minds. (aka inbuilt daily exercise and fewer gym fees)

Children who grow up with pets are often quicker to develop empathy and responsibility. (aka your very own Mary Poppins)

If Dad comes back citing all the extra jobs that pet ownership will entail, I like to hold gratitude close to my mind.
I haven't "got" to walk the dog, I "get" to walk the dog. What a privilege it is to clean up toys from the floor, because they had a good time playing. It's a privilege to have dog hair in the car because it means that we were able to take them with us. What a privilege that the couch feels cramped because they decided to share in our space for a cuddle. Having to vacuum up sandy floors at home is a tiny price to pay for a fun time at the beach. Unconditional love leads to a more enriched and joyful life, and you can't convince me otherwise.

Sorry Dad. We're getting a dog.

Do you ever ask yourself, does my dog know that I love them?

Well, yes! Absolutely your dog knows you love them. And they love you back in a myriad of ways. While they can't say it, they'll show it.

If your dog greets you enthusiastically when you come home, wagging their tail or jumping around, it’s a clear expression of love.
They might show affection by leaning against you, cuddling, or following you from room to room. Maybe they bring you their toys to 'share', which is them reaching out for a connection. Giving you licks is another natural way dogs show care and affection, which is similar to grooming behaviour in their pack.
Simple things like a relaxed body language, and if your dog sleeps near you or exposes their belly, it means they feel safe and loved. A dog that rests peacefully by your side feels secure and connected to you. There's no doubt at all that they love you right back 💖

Ho ho ho, ya filthy animals! It's that time of year to splash out on your loved ones. In fact, they've all contacted me privately and told me they want Pet Photography Sessions for Christmas. Go figure.
Guess you'd better pick up a gift certificate from my website real soon 💝

Siobhan told me, "Ragu is a social butterfly who loves to play and has a mind of his own. Maple is a little diva who loves attention and cuddles. She thinks she's an actual baby!"

I adored spending time with your gorgeous family of 5. Congratulations on your third born, this time a human baby!
