How We Operate
The How & Where
We are constantly on the move, hosting photoshoot days all over. New towns and cities are visited as often as possible, and our favourites get to see us regularly. We aren’t always around or always available, so be sure to catch us while we are in the area. We find locations that are secure, yet accessible and host our lovely clients back to back, offering our services to as many as possible.

All Inclusive

Optional Extras
If you fall in love, and only if you fall in love you can choose to get more images or amazing prints.
Testimonials
The Words Of The People
See what our previous clients have to say about The Bark Room and why you should book in your session as soon as possible.
Luna
Not only were Sam’s photos amazing, he was so professional to work with! He recommended the coloured background to make Luna’s eyes pop, as you can see in the photos this was a great choice! He made sure that she was comfortable during the whole shoot, especially as Luna had not been under studio lights before.
Wilbur
Amazing photos of my boy Wilbur - it was very hot day and Wilbur was very distracted but Sam was so great and relaxed with him
Athena
Athena was a bit nervous for her first ever phot shoot but The Bark Room had it covered and did such a wonderful job on her photos! The hardest thing about the whole process was chosing the best picture! Thanks so much!
Bruce
Sam was absolutely wonderful with my boy Bruce, landing me with some gorgeous photos! Bruce is very nervous and Sam did a fantastic job still managing to try and get him comfortable and getting some great photos from our quick session at the markets! Very easy process from beginning to end.
Jazz
Sam at The Bark Room took some wonderful pictures of my treasured dog Jazz. Jazz is a bit of a live wire but Sam was very patient and it was a pleasant experience for myself and Jazz. Great picture to keep and will frame up to enjoy.
Moses
The photos of Moses our border collie are wonderful and we will be putting some on our walls. Thankyou so much Sam, We will treasure the photos😀🐶
Summer
Our Session with Sam was fabulous. So much fun yet so private. Summer, our dog loved every minute of it and Sam did not push her into anything that would have made her uncomfortable or stressed. I could tell that Sam enjoys these interactions with his four legged clients. Highly recommend his service as a photographer. Our shots are gorgeous! Thank you Sam, Suzie, Greg and Summer
Ren
Sam was awesome, he was very patient with Ren as she was a little bit unsure about everything, he took time to let her adjust to the lights and get comfortable in her environment, we got some absolutely amazing pictures which were good quietly and not to mention Ren looks super adorable.
Bowie
I had a great experience with The Bark Room. I met Sam at the dog fair in North Sydney - he was super clear about pricing options and made my dog Bowie feel comfortable and safe as he had never had pro photos before. Sam provided lots of options in an easy-to-use gallery for me to choose from and he did a great job retouching! I love the photos and would recommend Sam/The Bark Room if you spot him at a dog day or make a booking online.
Bindi
Love Sam's enthusiasm to get just the right photo! He was great with my greyhound Bindi and created some amazing photos of my girl!! Thank you!!
Charlie
Sam did an amazing job photographing my Charlie. Not only where the photos stunning but Sam really knew how work with him and I have never seen Charlie be so relaxed around a person he has never met He wasn't scared to get on the floor to make sure Charlie felt secure and to get the perfect photos Thank you so much!! I will be using Sam again for sure
Ziggy
Sam did a marvellous job of taking Ziggy's photo, especially since she was very timid and wouldn't pose. He was so patient with her and managed to get lovely pictures. I think she polished off all his doggy treats.
Barney
Sam made my dog so comfortable and made the photo shoot so fun! Photos I’ll cherish forever

Behind The Scenes
The Edits
The images taken in the studio are far from perfect straight out of the camera. We spend a lot of time behind the scenes tidying up loose hair, eye boogers and dust, we remove leads, hands, anything that shouldn’t be in the images and tidy up the background and colouring to get you the perfect image.
- Remove Eye Boogers
- Remove Leads and Hands
- Clean Up Flyaway Hairs
- Remove Dust & Dandruff
- Tidy up Fur/Feathers
- Colour Correction
- Fix Up The Backdrop
- Add Some "POP"
- Fix any Obvious Imperfections
- On Request We Can Remove Scars/Surgery Marks
Choose your background colour
The Colourful Part
Possibly our most distinguishing feature is our colourful portfolio. We pride ourselves on being able to work with many colours and match your pets with the colour best suited to them. We have many colours on rotation at all times, so there is no shortage of choice for you and your furry friend. The colours will vary slightly between images or sessions, and availability is subject to our stock, as the colours can be used up.
