Some of the many photos from our previous travels
Phodography™ you’ll adore
We create incredible experiences to give pet parents photos you'll love
And to create a lasting tribute to your best friend
We know that your pets are part of the family.
More than that, we know they’re your adventure amigo, your cuddle companion on difficult (and good) days, and your comedic chum making you smile every-woofing-day with their antics.
They are the heart and soul by your side that you can’t imagine your life without.
We capture all of that to create photographic artwork inspired by them…. so you can have them star with pride on your walls. Our photography immortilises the love you have for them, the connection of your shared bond & moments, and the magic of their paw-sonality.

Testimonials from Dog Tales of Australia 2018 & 2019
We felt Kerry went above and beyond before, during and after our shoot, really listening to what we wanted in the photos and took the time to get a range of images. We wanted to capture our dog’s personality, which as a well-trained dog meant catching her off-guard. Kerry took the time, didn’t rush us or our dog and the results are fantastic.
~ Adie & LeeLou, Derwent Valley TAS
You were amazing, I still cannot believe you captured the shots we got as my sassy, hypo pooch was not still for long. Thank goodness you remembered your ball! I am absolutely over the moon with our photo’s. You were so professional from start to finish and the finished product are the finest quality. Thank you .. we now have irreplaceable memories of our fur baby!
~ Jennifer & Tia, Cowaramup WA
Kerry was absolutely amazing! So patient, welcoming and dedicated to getting the best photos possible, of my little diva, Diamond. The passion was obvious when I saw the photo results. I couldn’t walk away with just one, so I purchased a whole bunch! I’d definitely recommend Kerry and would take any opportunity to work with her again.
~Tanita & Diamond, Magnetic Island QLD
Thank you so much! They are so gorgeous and we LOVE them. I will definitely recommend you to my dog-owning friends!! Thanks again for the amazing experience and for the huge effort you put in both before and after, you really go above and beyond and it is so appreciated! Also can’t wait to see the finished book - it’s going to be gorgeous.
~ Jess & Luka, Canberra ACT
I loved how comfortable Kerry made us and the doggies feel throughout the entire session. She was very patient with our dogs and captured as many photos as she could of them. The products we ordered are fantastic and I love all of my photos. I would highly recommend Kerry, she makes the experience enjoyable and comfortable. She manages to capture each personality of the animal and gives you memories that will last a lifetime.
~Alissa, Bear, Lilly & Ace, Stanley VIC
Kerry took the most amazing photos of our puppies Eddy and Charlie. She captured their personalities perfectly while also getting a wide range of photos. The quality of our large canvas are just wow! The folio box is beautiful with stunning quality prints. So impressed with the whole experience.

Kerry Martin – award-winning photographer, author & pet parent!
Kerry Martin is a passionate dog lover. Crazy some may even say 😉! She’s dog mum to two much-adored (and much-spoilt!) dogs, Keiko & Summer. ^^^^ that’s them!
“They give my days fun, exercise and meaning. I don’t know what my life would look like without them, and for this Aussie fur-mum, they are the Australian doggos of the decade! They, along with the many, many amazing dogs I’ve photographed as a dog photographer are the inspiration behind these awards. I want to share stories of their amazing feats, I want to highlight the very im-paw-tant jobs they are doing and I want to showcase just how incredible dogs are”.
For Kerry, as the human behind Puppy Tales and a community aiming to help and inspire pet parents live their most pawsome life together, dogs, photography & travel are what matters most to her.
She has been a professional photographer for over 12 years. She’s a Master of Photography and has won multiple National & International Awards. The most notable of these awards include Australian and Victorian Pet and Animal Photographer of the Year. These awards were with photos taken for pawrents just like you. Each pet offers something incredibly unique and special, and each session is treated like an award-winning one.
Kerry also loves to write & share about dogs, travel and adventures together. In addition to content for Puppy Tales, she’s written articles for popular dog publications including Dog Life Magazine, Pets and Dogs NSW. She’s also been interviewed and/or contributed expertise to articles in publications including Travel with Dogs by Lonely Planet, Herald Sun, Sydney Morning Herald, Sunday Tasmanian, Capture and Digital Photography Magazine. And she’s appeared on television talking about travelling with dogs (Channel Nine TODAY Show) and dog photography (Channel 10 Pooches at Play and Channel 10 Animal Extra). Her first book Dog Tales of Australia is available now.
