As a pet parent, you know this truth all too well: they're more than animals. They’re our companions, our comfort, and often the most joyful part of our families. So when it comes to capturing those special moments—whether it’s a milestone or just a lazy Sunday—you want them in the frame too.
But if you’ve ever tried to book a family photoshoot in Perth, you’ve likely run into the same frustrating roadblock: most scenic photography locations around the city don’t allow pets. It’s heartbreaking to find the perfect backdrop only to discover that your dog isn’t welcome.
At Letthe Lightin, we believe pets deserve to be included in the memories we capture. That’s why we’ve pulled together this guide to 6 pet-friendly photography spots around Perth, where you and your four-legged family member can both feel right at home.
