Testimonials
Our family photo session was an amazing experience, it was so relaxed and we were all made to feel comfortable and to have fun with it, which we did!
The photos turned out excellent and we had some awesome candid moments captured as well.
The customer service from the get go was exceptional! They provided clear and concise information and they were there for any little questions I had, even about what to wear lol
Everyone in their team were so thoughtful and patient and they actually cared about what we wanted and wanted to make sure we were happy and we are.
Fiona and Family 
By Heart Photography created such a relaxed and welcoming environment for both us and our dogs. We felt comfortable straight away, which made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable. Benn was patient, and had the ability to work so naturally with our dogs which made all the difference.
The photos turned out absolutely amazing — Benn captured our connection perfectly and feels so authentic to us. We were also blown away by the quality of the canvas. It looks incredible, with beautiful detail and such a professional finish. It has completely elevated the space in our home and we couldn’t be happier with it.
We’re so grateful and would highly recommend By Heart Photography to anyone wanting stunning, heartfelt images (fur babies included!).

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Benn. From the moment we arrived, it was clear he genuinely loves animals. He took the time to let our dogs warm up to him at their own pace, never rushing or forcing anything—just patient, gentle interaction until they were completely comfortable.
What struck us most was his attention to detail and the care he put into every shot. He got down on their level, followed their energy, and captured their personalities in ways we didn’t think possible. You could tell he wasn’t just going through the motions—he truly wanted to get it right.
The photos themselves are stunning. They’re not just pictures of our dogs; they’re portraits that capture exactly who they are. Every time we look at them, we’re reminded of that wonderful session and how at ease our pups felt the entire time.
If you’re looking for a pet photographer who treats your animals with kindness and delivers breathtaking results, Benn is the one. We’re so grateful for these memories.

Amazing photography skills! Benn made both me and my partner feel so absolutely comfortable during the photoshoot without feeling awkward and nervous! When seeing these photos it was like magic! Absolutely stunning photography skills! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my first ever maternity photoshoot. Benn and Jules are amazing, I would 100% recommend for any type of photoshoot.
Sasha Goncalves 
We are absolutely blown away with the exceptional experience with By Heart Photography. From the very beginning the pre-photo shoot organisation by the entire team was outstanding, every detail was thought through and communicated so clearly and supportive that it instantly put us at ease!
Ben was incredible on the day, he has such a calming presence and made us feel completely at ease, even with our nerves. He captured our moments so naturally and perfectly, the whole experience felt natural, relaxed and genuinely enjoyable. The final photos are beyond what we imagined, they are nothing short of perfect. We are so grateful and couldn’t be happier and would recommend by heart photography to anyone wanting the perfect memories!

After winning a photography package with Benn and Jules I enjoyed each aspect of the photography experience. Benn talked me through the entire process with our first phone chat and the communication was flawless each step on the way. The photo session was great fun and Benn and Jules were able to capture myself, my husband, 2 children and 2 dogs with a large variety of beautiful photos to choose from. We all loved the entire process and can't wait to get our photos and display them proudly in our home. Thank you By Heart Photography we highly recommend!

Olivia Maclean 
A really great experience with Benn and Jules. Benn makes you feel very comfortable during the shoot and it shows in the final photos - we are in love with our pics!
Christie Temesi 
Could not have asked for a better experience and our photos are amazing
Allison Edmonds 
Benn was an absolutely amazing, patient and dog loving photographer. I don't know how he managed to get so many amazing shots of my 3 less than willing pooches, but he did! The end result is now hung with pride in my living room. Would recommend these guys for all your family photos needs...be it fur babies or skin children 😉
Tatum Bond 
We had the most wonderful experience with By Heart Photography. Benn was brilliant from start to finish, going above and beyond to make sure our photoshoot still happened at a time that suited us, even after one of those days where everything seemed to go wrong.
Benn was incredibly professional and amazing with our dogs, especially our anxious little miss, organising a meet and greet prior to the shoot so that she was even more comfortable on photoshoot day. On the day, Benn and Bec managed to capture our babies in their best light, despite the beautiful chaos that a choccy lab and a goldador bring to every occasion.
The images we received were simply stunning, and we couldn’t be happier. Our three-piece collection will take pride of place in our kitchen for all to see and will always remind us of the incredible experience we had working with By Heart Photography.
To top it all off, we were lucky enough to be part of the Puparazzi Art Project, helping animals in need along the way. We truly couldn’t ask for more and highly recommend By Heart Photography to anyone wanting gorgeous photos and an unforgettable experience.
Jane and David Brown 
We did a beautiful pet photography session and we are left awestruck! Benn and Aleks have been beyond helpful, they're so kind and have made this experience so much fun! Neither my partner or myself had ever done any photography before so to have this as our first experience has set the standards high.
I honestly couldn't fault a single step and I can't stop showing everyone the beautiful artwork that was captured in our session.
Couldn't say thank you enough for this amazing session and all of their help along the way.

Jules and Benn, are absolutely amazing! Benn was so patient despite the chaos of photographing our 2 boisterous puppies Sascha and Hugo! They do a lot to support local animal welfare groups and in addition provide a wonderful chance to have beautiful lasting memories of your fur babies! We cannot thank then enough for the experience and the stunning photos of our doggo's!

The whole process was smooth, communication was excellent and the information given to us on what to do before our photo session was excellent with the end result so great.

Benn and the ladies at By Heart Photography are fantastic! Really passionate about capturing your precious moments, and strive above and beyond to make it 100% perfect for you and/or family and friends.
Alex Voss 
Thank you Benn. We are sooo excited to get our photos and share with our friends and family. We are sooo happy with how they turned out and the whole process was extremely stress free. Even with two staffies. Thanks again
Jo Kris Bailey Zoe and Waylon 
Benn was great, he made us all feel extremely comfortable and had us laughing and continually smiling.
He worked well with the dogs, making a shoot that we expected to be time consuming and frustrating, simple and effortless.
Resulting in some gorgeous photos of our four fur babies and us humans.
It was a lovely afternoon, with some excellent results.
Trish Barrows 
My sincere thanks to Benn and Jules from By Heart Photography, the talented duo behind the cover image of my book Hedwig for the Win! Life with a Psychiatric Assistance Dog. Your generosity, artistry, and passion for capturing the bond between humans and animals bring so much light into the world.
This image was part of the Puparazzi Art Project, a creative initiative that celebrates dogs and gives back to the community by supporting rescue organisations such as North Queensland Animal Rescue. Their compassion and commitment help give countless animals a second chance — and remind us that every life, no matter how small or furry, has value.
Hedwig’s says: “You definitely got my good side! Thanks Benn.”
Fiona Kuilboer 
Benny and I had a very positive experience during the photoshoot and I’m very happy with my pictures
Joy Meaney 
Amazing team and amazing photos. Our family can be chaotic and our shoot was no different. Ben turned the chaos into fun and captured the most amazing window into our family. We’re very grateful we found them.
Tim Watkins 
I don't have enough words to say how incredible this entire experience was. Ben was lovely and patient with my dogs and my young son. We all felt very comfortable whilst our photos were being taken. The proofs took my breath away and Ben has a fabulous process to walk you through choosing the photos (it's SO hard because every single photo is amazing). I am in love with the photos I had printed and am stunned by how incredible they are every time I look at them. Just absolutely a 12 out of 10 and can't thank them enough for the lovely memories. I recon the family photo with the dogs will stay on the wall for the next 50 years 🙂 ** Bonus - they support NQAR which is where one of my pups is from so had to love this as well!
Andrea Rolley 
Fun and enjoyable experience with our session 😊
Resyl Villarias 
Ben and Jules did an amazing job capturing our dog Athena. She loved the whole experience. We now have forever memories of her. Thank you
Sandy Nicholson 
Loki and I were super excited to help raise funds for NQAR again this year and a big thanks goes to Benn and Jules for this opportunity. Loki is not the easiest boy to capture due to his boisterous personality but Bemm did an excellent job. I’d recommend By Heart Photography to anyone and everyone!
Maddy Caust 
I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible experience that Wynnie and I had with By Heart Photography.
From our initial contact, where you patiently explained the process and helped me choose the perfect location, to the photo shoot itself and the delivery of the beautiful images, everything was truly top-notch. Your kindness and understanding shone through, and it's clear that you genuinely care about your clients and the memories you capture.
I was initially a bit worried about how Wynnie, being a nervous dog, would handle the photo shoot. However, your professionalism and ability to connect with her immediately put both of us at ease. Choosing her favorite outdoor spot was a great decision, and she warmed up to you surprisingly quickly, allowing her true personality to shine.
I was amazed when it came time to view the photos. I had expected a handful of good shots, but you presented me with nearly 40 stunning images that captured Wynnie's spirit perfectly. It was a delightful challenge to choose my favorites!
Thank you again for the wonderful experience and the precious memories you've given us.
Sara Hanlon 
Wonderful photos and a beautiful way to create memories with the furbabies, that you can keep forever as artwork on the walls. We had a lot of fun during the shoot and were very teary seeing our photos for the first time. Benn and Jules did an amazing job at capturing our dogs personalities.
