Each image captures the essence of the German Shepherd, and every story celebrates the unbreakable bond between these remarkable dogs and their families.

Customer Testimonials

Read what our customers have to say about us.

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 family portraits 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.

We are absolutely blown away by the beautiful photographs Simon created for us. The quality is spot on and the whole process was enjoyable! Simon was so natural with our dogs, and his calm approach got the best out of them. I’m really glad we went ahead with this as we now have beautiful memories hanging on our wall.

Simon is amazing and I would not hesitate to recommend him. I treasure all the family portraits 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.

Simon was amazing at capturing our beautiful German Shepherd Della and our family. We absolutely adore the images he captured. Simon is calm and patient and made the whole experience effortless (which is saying something as we had a newborn at home)
We will treasure these photos for a lifetime.
Thank you Simon

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.
