Pet photographers join forces for Australian wildlife

We’ve all seen the devastation to the native wildlife population caused by the wildfires in Australia and it is truly unfathomable. Over a BILLION animals, birds and reptiles have died – 10 million hectares of their habitat, lost.

It made me feel truly helpless… but one night, I thought, what if I could bring together as many international pet photographers as possible to participate in a global fundraising effort? Together we can make an even greater difference! With a little bit of effort and the assistance of some truly amazing people… Paws for Oz was born!

Photographers in Australia, Canada and the US are conducting fundraising photo sessions in return for a donation of $50+ AUD that goes directly to established rescue Wildlife Victoria. This will help with rescue, care and rehabilitation of koalas, wombats, kangaroos, dingoes and many more injured and displaced native wildlife.

All information about participating pet photographers worldwide can be found at pawsforoz.org

Here’s the skinny on my fundraiser:

In return for your donation of $50 AUD through Paws for Oz you’ll receive:

  • a 15 minute Fundraiser session – dates and times below
  • digital file suitable for printing up to 8×10″ ($250 value)
  • PLUS an accompanying low res file for sharing –  watermarked with the “I donated to Paws for Oz” logo, so you can show the world how much you care!
  • a gallery with 3-7 images to choose from
  • if you wish to have more than one dog photographed, please donate for each dog and in return, you will receive a 15-minute session for each dog which can be booked back-to-back
  • Please note: donations are in Australian dollars, very close to par with our dollar but the exchange can fluctuate a little

BONUS: Donate $100, and receive a $200 product credit. Use it to purchase ready to hang wall art (in canvas, metal and framed traditional prints starting at $395) from my product list… OR

…apply the product credit towards your order at a future Portrait session (on-location or studio). Note: the credit expires December 31, 2020.
