Paws & Shoot
Sit. Stay. Look Amazing!
There are good photos of your pet, and then there are great photos of your pet, the kind where they're wearing a Viking helmet or a bumblebee suit and somehow pulling it off with absolute dignity. At Costumes Galore, we specialise in crazy costumed pet portraits on the Sunshine Coast that capture every whisker, waggy tail and hilariously reluctant expression your furry friend has to offer. Dogs, cats and any other brave souls are welcome.
- Dogs are born for this — you're both going to love it
- Cats will pretend otherwise, but the photos prove them wrong
Choose from a huge range of pet costumes at our Sunshine Coast store, or bring your own; either way, our photographer Angie will make sure the results are absolutely worth framing. Sessions available in the studio, at your home or a location of your choice.

The Photographer your pet deserves
Behind every great pet portrait is a photographer who genuinely loves animals, and that's exactly what you get with Angie. Award-winning, endlessly patient and with more than 30 years of experience, Angie has an extraordinary talent for capturing the real personality of every animal she photographs. Her pet photography on the Sunshine Coast has appeared on the front cover of National Cat magazine multiple times, and she spent several years as an approved photographer for the Canine Control Council of Queensland, with her work regularly featured in Dog World magazine. She knows how to keep animals relaxed, comfortable and completely at ease, which means less stress for them and far better photos for you. The swashbuckling schnauzer. The reluctant feline. The staffy who was born for the spotlight.
Whatever your pet brings to the session, Angie will make it legendary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my pet need to be trained or well-behaved for a photo session?
Not at all — the best pet photographers are experienced at working with animals of all temperaments. Patience, treats and a relaxed environment go a long way, and a good photographer knows how to capture genuine personality rather than waiting for the perfect pose.
Can I dress my pet in a costume for their photo session?
Absolutely — costumed pet sessions are a wonderful way to add personality and creativity to your photos. Many studios have pet costumes available on site, making it easy to choose something fun on the day without having to bring your own.
What locations are available for pet photography sessions?
Pet photography sessions can be held in the studio, at your home or at an outdoor location of your choice. In-studio sessions often have the added benefit of props, backdrops and costume options on hand, while outdoor shoots offer natural light and relaxed surroundings that many animals respond well to.
How do you get a pet to stay still or look at the camera during a photoshoot?
Patience and positive reinforcement work better than commands, with treats, toys or familiar sounds used to draw a pet's attention. Shooting at the pet's eye level often produces more natural, engaging shots. Sessions are commonly timed around a pet's energy levels, such as photographing a dog after a walk when it's calmer.
What should I bring to a pet photography session?
Familiar items like a favourite toy or treat can help a pet feel more comfortable and engaged. A leash or harness is usually needed for outdoor sessions, even if edited out later. It also helps to bring any relevant props, such as a costume, and to time the session around feeding and activity so the pet isn't overtired or overheated.
