What do “Paws & Claws” clients think of their pet photography experience?
“An incredible human being and a truly talented and exceptional photographer.
I contacted Paul when I found out that my lifelong best friend, my shadow, my four-legged soulmate, Jack, didn’t have long left to live.
I had always wanted to get professional photos of him, I just kept putting it off because I thought I had more time, until I didn’t. I wanted to have these special photos done by someone that I could wholeheartedly trust and someone that I knew was an expert in pet photography, especially because time was quickly running out.
From the very first phone call through to the viewing of the final product, Paul was exceptionally kind, compassionate and accommodating. He was patient with Jack (who at that stage did not have much strength) and went above and beyond to achieve the most heart-warming, high quality photographs. The final product exceeded any expectations I had and the unbreakable bond and love between Jack and I is evident. Paul did a phenomenal job at capturing some really beautiful final moments that I will cherish and appreciate forever.
I highly encourage anyone with a beloved pet to get professional photos done and to have them done by Paul, he is truly THE BEST and you will not regret it!!!
Paul, thank you a million times over. I will be forever grateful.”
“Paul is by far one of the most talented photographers I have ever met. I completed a pet photography session with my dog Remi, and Paul was extremely professional, friendly and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. His communication is prompt and not to mention how incredible the photos were! I even teared up when viewing our photos! Highly recommend to everyone! 🤩”
“Professional and so much love for animals! Paul totally engaged with our dog (Casey) during her shoot and the photos definitely capture our pet’s personality. Casey was diagnosed with cancer and we wanted to capture her personality, so finding the right photographer was very important as time was not on our side. The whole experience was so easy and he made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole shoot. All the photos turned out amazing beyond expectations (I cried). These photos we will cherish for life. This guy is amazing at what he does and the proof is in his photos. Thoroughly, totally and utterly recommend Paul Tadday Pet Photography to anyone wanting high quality photos of a beloved pet/furry family member. Four paws and two thumbs up! ”
“It was so great working with Paul! He brought such genuine enthusiasm to the photo shoot for my puppy and dog training business - as well as lots of puppy treats and a sense of humour! The photographs are just beautiful - he captured the personality of each and every one of our pups. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!”
“We were so thrilled to have Paul photograph our Lakeland Terrier puppy, “Chilli”. We chose our beach location of Sandringham and Paul was amazing getting wonderful shots on the beach, rocks, sea walls and with the backdrops of the yachts and the city. He was so patient with us and Chilli, spending over 3 hours to ensure he captured the best shots of Chilli including some with the perfect sunset. Paul also welcomed us to his studio and was patient in helping us choose the final photos for our gallery at home. We would highly recommend you choose Paul to photograph your beloved pet(s).”
“We’d never actually considered professional photographs given our bulldog Luna a) can’t sit still, and b) does not take direction; but after winning the photoshoot we were so happy and impressed with the photos Paul produced! Paul was brilliant with Luna and totally embraced her fun loving personality whilst putting my partner and I at ease. Having a dog that sits still and poses is absolutely not a requirement for brilliant pictures which perfectly capture a dog’s personality. 🐶🐾”
“I recently had a wonderful photo session with Paul at Ringwood lake. I took both my fury kids and he was wonderful with them. Paul is very talented, using all the natural lighting, water reflection and dappled light. He is very kind and gentle. The perfect soul to have taking photographs of animals. He sees things through the lens that others don’t. Then he takes all that beauty and creates the most divine images. The entire experience was joyful. I recommend it fully to those wanting something spectacular to have on their walls showcasing your beautiful pets. Thank you Paul.”
“We loved our photo shoot! It was such a fun day, we loved every minute of it! We have treasured photos of our Dog that will remain with us forever. Very special. I love how Paul was able to capture us as a family also. Paul is such a great photographer and a very nice guy. Made the day fun and easy! Highly recommend.”
“I was lucky enough to be given a gift voucher by my sister for Christmas. Best gift ever! After losing my beautiful Goldie way to early, I regretted not having professional shots of her. So this gift meant so much. Just so pleased with the end result. Paul was fantastic with my boy “Billy,” he knows just how to get the prefect shots. So many great photos to choose from. Paul really did me a favor by been able to photoshop a photo I’d taken of Goldie too. The end results where amazing!”
“Paul made Monty feel so comfortable around the camera so he could be his cheeky self. The final product was simply amazing. I chose to get a book of all Monty’s photos as I simply could not choose individual photos. All of them were spectacular and captured Monty’s personality in a range of different ways. It is something I will forever treasure.”
“Paul is a dedicated photographer with a keen sense for angles and lighting, and will do what it takes to get that shot with your pet - even if it means taking a tumble and soldiering on to catch the sunset! We had a fun session with my four month old pup, who has a very short attention span - Paul was very patient throughout, and my pup loved him! The results made my pup look absolutely majestic. 😁”
“I can’t recommend Paul highly enough! We (and more importantly, our dog Samantha) has an absolute ball during the photo shoot, and the final results are even better than we could have imagined! Samantha is an extremely spirited dog and Paul was patient and engaging with her from beginning to end. I’m so glad to have these wonderful photos to keep forever”
“We used Paul for a photo shoot with our dog Kobi. From the moment we met him he made us feel comfortable and gave us great direction, considering my partner is not a photo guy. The results were spectacular and we are so happy to have these memories for ever as he caught the personality of our dog. Would high recommend him to anyone.”
“Loved our photoshoot with Paul! So fun and the outcome (the photos!) was stunning!”
“I was the lucky recipient of a free portrait won in a competition that Paul ran. My dogs and I had a fun time during the photo shoot. I was extremely pleased with the finished portraits of my two dogs. They will make a wonderful keepsake. Thanks Paul.”
“We have 3 dogs with totally different looks & personalities. Paul captured those personalities perfectly in our recent photo shoot. There was no pressure for our babies to ‘perform’ or pose. Paul found the ideal spot & waited for the dogs to do their thing while he captured it. A wonderful, fun experience was had by all.”
“Paul is incredible with dogs. My little dude is so nervous and Paul did amazingly with him and the photos were AWESOME!!! Can’t recommend Paul highly enough. So lovely, accommodating and professional.”
