Sunshine Coast Dog Videography & Photography | I Film Dogs

Yes. Photo-only sessions are available from $350 — a 30-minute shoot delivering 10 edited high-resolution photos via download link. An engraved USB in a gift box with tracked postage is available as an add-on for $50. Get in touch and I’ll sort the details.

Yes. These sessions are mainly focused on your dog, but you’re welcome to be in some of the photos or film. In the consultation, please tell me your vision so I can plan accordingly.

Yes. You can include more than one dog, but it needs to be planned in advance. In the consultation, please let me know how many dogs you have and what you’d like from the session. Depending on how many dogs are involved (and how they behave together), we may need more time or a higher package so there’s enough coverage for everyone.

In many cases, yes — but it needs to be discussed up front. In the consultation, please be honest about your dog’s behaviour and any triggers (people, dogs, bikes, kids, etc.). We can choose quieter locations, work on-lead, and keep things simple so your dog isn’t overwhelmed.

If your dog is likely to lunge at or try to attack the camera or equipment, they will need to be leashed. If there’s any risk of damage or unsafe behaviour, we’ll put control measures in place or adjust how we shoot. Your dog’s safety, your safety, my safety and public safety come first, so if I feel a location or setup isn’t safe or suitable, we’ll adjust the plan or talk through other options.

I can only film what’s in front of me, and I can only sprint so fast and so far. It’s important that you have reasonable control of your dog — if you can hold their attention with a ball, a stick or verbal commands, I’ll be able to work with that and get what we need. Every dog has an element of chaos to them and I’m here to capture it.

If your dog is likely to sprint 200 metres away chasing birds and can’t be called back, they’ll either need to stay on-lead or, sadly, this type of session might not be the right fit. I’ll always do my best on the day, but I can’t guarantee specific results because I can’t guarantee your dog’s behaviour. Please be upfront and truthful with your dog’s behaviour and bring up any concerns you may have.

Most sessions are shot on location around the Sunshine Coast — off-leash beaches, dog-friendly parks, bush tracks, or at your home or property. In the consultation we’ll talk about the kind of environment your dog is comfortable in and choose a spot that suits their energy and the style of film you want.

Local travel is included in the session price. For locations outside the Sunshine Coast, get in touch and I’ll give you a clear answer on what’s involved. Please note that a fuel surcharge may be introduced in the future due to the unpredictability of fuel prices — I’ll always make this clear at the time of booking.

Every film includes a custom original song written specifically for your dog in the style and genre of your choice. I'll talk to you about your dog, their personality, their quirks, what makes them them, and from that I'll write the lyrics to their song. If you'd prefer no lyrics and want a purely instrumental track instead, I'll make that too. It's your song, your way. The result is an original track written and produced by me, licensed to you for personal use, so you can share your film freely on social media without the risk of takedowns, muted posts or copyright strikes. This licence covers personal use only, for commercial use please contact me for pricing.

The Full Film and Full Story packages include professional distribution of your dog's custom song to Spotify, Apple Music, Instagram, TikTok and 150+ streaming platforms worldwide. Your dog will have their own song, available to stream worldwide.

I generally aim to deliver within 3 weeks, though during busy periods this may take longer. I’ll give you a more specific timeframe when you enquire or at the time of booking so you always know what to expect.

You’ll receive your finished films and photos via a private download link, as well as on an engraved USB in a gift box.

Your download link stays active for 6 months on The Film package, and 12 months on The Full Film and Full Story. I also keep a backup of your final edited files on my drives for around 3 months after delivery to cover any immediate issues. After that, files may be cleared to manage storage, and I can’t guarantee I’ll still have a copy.

Because of this, it’s really important that you download and back up your files — either from the link or the USB — somewhere safe (for example, your computer and an external drive or cloud service). If you know in advance that you’ll need your download link active for longer than the standard period, we can arrange an extended hosting period for an additional fee before the link is created. Once the link has expired, it can’t be reactivated.
