WORK

HEY, I’M SHELLY -

NO FLUFF. Just beautiful photography.

I’m easy going and love a chat. I grew up on a farm in South Africa, spent some time in corporate work in Sydney and made the tree-change to the Southern Highlands 15 years ago.

I have a gorgeous partner Liv, we have two beautiful girls and a crazy menagerie of Doodles and a cat… see more about me

OUR “BETTER SHOT” SHELTER MISSION

Giving Shelter Dogs
a better shot at adoption

We photograph the animals up for adoption at the Wingecarribee Shire Council Animal Shelter - for free. The idea is that a professional photo will give them a “better shot” at adoption and bring awareness to the idea of adopting.

Property photography

for the Highlands.

A Highlands property deserves to look like one. I’ll be bringing the back the same considered eye used to photograph some of the region’s most prestigious properties for over 10 years as a local real estate photographer.

WHERE WE ARE

Australia’s
most beautiful town.

The Southern Highlands sits just over an hour from Sydney in a landscape that stops people mid-sentence. Rolling farmland. Historic villages. Proper seasons. The kind of place that makes people want to stay and take something beautiful home with them.

Good Dog Studio is rooted here. Every portrait carries a little of it.
