Thanks for stopping by!
Hello! We're Toni and Joe - a creative equine and canine team located in Echuca, Victoria.
As a country boy and a western-horse girl do, Joe (Joseph when he's in trouble) and I met at a rodeo. Of course, my drink was empty and the rest is history!
I have always had a passion for anything creative and anything horse or dog orientated, thus having started my own portrait commission business at the age of 13. Since then I have refined my skills and become a successful equine and canine photographer, and Graphic Designer.
However, my business would not be where it is today without Joe's help. He is (what most of us in the equine industry would call) a "professional ear pricker", a skilled second-shooter for shows that require more than one photographer, and quite often the brain that comes up with a lot of our killer initial concept design work!
We are on a mission to ensure;
-
Our photography clients have a great time and leave their sessions with a sore face and ribs from laughing so much, with amazing images that they LOVE, and;
-
Our design clients feel proud and excited to share their new logo/advertisement/website with their target audience, and confident that it will generate new and on-going business and support!
"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory."

For quite a while now we have been those annoying people preaching to the public to put their photos on their walls. Let's be realistic, what do you do with a USB full of beautiful images?
You pop it in the third drawer in the kitchen with the rest of your odd bits and pieces and don't look at it again.
While that's all well and good and it's ultimately up to you what you do with your images, we believe art should be displayed proudly in your home! A gorgeous, large canvas that sits above your mantle or buffet and becomes a talking piece for guests, or a beautiful collage in your hallway that you walk past every day and smile about. We pride ourselves on being a full-service photography team, which means we do all of the hard work for you! Not sure what size will look the best in your space? Unsure abut the how and the quality?
Take advantage of our services and let us do all of the work for you - don't put your memories in a drawer with your spare batteries.
We're here to spice up the equine marketing industry by creative unique and fresh material that will help our clients stand out from their competition!
Part of this journey is to combat what we call BAS - Boring (or Bad) Advertisement Syndrome - it may not be contagious, but the yawns certainly are!
We just can't take it anymore, seeing quality businesses and stallions saddled (see what we did there?) with designs and advertisements that fail to convey the quality and potential our clients know they have.
To attempt to eliminate this issue, we have worked hard to develop a unique yet flattering aesthetic that is synonymous with quality across all of our designs. We work with each individual to create material that is not only stunning, but also practical and well executed.
If you're ready to say c'ya! to subpar design and attract your ideal clients with material that should be going straight into the pool room, head on over to our design shop!
Harper and Moose are the best of friends, and we have appointed them our co Human Resources Managers!
We admittedly were slightly nervous about having a boisterous Labrador (he has only just turned 3) with a new baby, but Moose has well and truly stepped up into the big brother role and is just smitten with his little sister.
We will often find them already getting into mischief together!
Note to self: don't leave the pantry door open!
Meet our babies!
where do we stand on the important stuff?

"I have known Toni for some time now and watched her photography business evolve. Photos she has done of my horses and dogs in the past are now
precious keepsakes.
I continue to document my pets and organise photoshoots as gifts - nothing beats that perfect shot of your best furry friend! Toni is patient and understanding and works productively with the animal to most effectively capture 'that shot'."
