Some Love Stories Deserve To Be Remembered Forever
They greet you at the door like you've been away for years, even if it's only been minutes.
They make you laugh when life feels heavy.
They quietly become part of your daily routines, your happiest memories, and your family's story.
At Zoo Studio, we believe that love deserves more than living inside a phone gallery.
We create handcrafted Animal Art Photography that celebrates everything you adore about your pet today, so you can continue reconnecting with those moments for years to come.
Because one day, these pieces won't simply be beautiful artwork.
They'll become part of your family's legacy.
We are all pet lovers at Zoo Studio, just like you.
We See What You Never Want to Forget
Beautiful Animal Art Photography isn't created by asking a dog to sit or a cat to look at the camera.
It's created by noticing the little things that make them completely, wonderfully yours.
The cheeky grin that always makes you laugh.
The way they tilt their head when you call their name.
The sparkle in their eyes when they're about to play.
The quiet way they rest beside you after a long day.
The gentle expression that says, "I'm home."
These are the moments that become your favourite memories.
Before your Photography Experience, we take the time to get to know your pet, their personality, their quirks, the things that make you smile and the little habits you never want to forget. Because when we understand what makes your companion so deeply loved, we can create Animal Art Photography that captures far more than how they looked.
We capture how they made you feel.
Years from now, when you walk past your artwork, we don't want you to simply admire a beautiful photograph.
We want you to smile, remember, and feel that unmistakable connection all over again.
Because that's what a legacy truly is. And they deserve to be celebrated.
Who’s who at the Zoo!
ZOO STUDIO TEAM
Lorraine Charlecrafte
DIRECTOR AND PRINCIPAL PHOTOGRAPHER
After almost two decades of photographing thousands of beloved pets and hearing from families years later, Lorraine has come to understand one simple truth: people never regret preserving the moments that matter most. They only ever wish they'd had just a little more time.
"The messages we receive from families are always the same: 'Creating our Zoo Studio artwork was one of the best decisions we ever made.' Knowing their pet's personality, love and spirit continue to brighten their home every day is the reason Zoo Studio exists."
That experience continues to shape everything Zoo Studio stands for today.
The greatest reward isn't the awards or recognition—it's the messages from families, sharing that creating their Zoo Studio artwork was one of the best decisions they ever made. Knowing they can still smile every day as they walk past their pet's artwork, reconnecting with the love, joy and personality that filled their home, is why Lorraine continues to do what she loves.
Every pet wraps their paws around our hearts.
Their story deserves to be remembered with the same love they give so freely.
“Lorraine is a relaxed and enthusiastic pet photographer. My cat was incredibly sick with a heart condition and probably a lot worse than we realised when we had our photoshoot. He was shy when meeting new people, but he warmed up to Lorraine incredibly quickly. As such, we were able to capture his true personality and the relationship I shared with him exceptionally well and true to reality. I will definitely return for more photographs from Lorraine and the team at Zoo Studios! They’re my favourite photos in my house! Thank you”

Scott Harding
‘THE ZOOKEEPER’ - EVERYTHING ADMINISTRATION + ORGANISATION
Around Zoo Studio, Scott is affectionately known as the 'Zookeeper'—the calm, caring presence who helps every Photography Experience run smoothly behind the scenes.
Whether he's in the studio with Lorraine welcoming families through the studio door, sharing a quiet moment with a nervous companion, or making sure every detail is just right, Scott has a wonderful way of helping both people and pets feel completely at ease.
Like Lorraine, Scott has shared his life with dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs for as long as he can remember. As the proud "Dadda" to Maya and Blaze, he understands that our pets aren't just animals—they're family, bringing laughter, comfort and unconditional love into our everyday lives.
While Lorraine is busy behind the camera, Scott is often the reassuring voice, the extra pair of hands with treats and toys, and the gentle friend who somehow wins over even the shyest of companions.
For Scott, the greatest joy isn't simply helping create beautiful Animal Art Photography.
It's seeing families leave the studio knowing they've celebrated the companion who means the world to them.
“Zoo Studio has photograhed my pets twice now. We have been return customers because there is no one more talented and more kind. Our first shoot was my cats. I had serious doubts that there would be any photos that didnt feature bewildered and frightened cats. Wow was I to be impressed. Lorraine isn’t just an amazing photographer she is also incredible at creating a safe and relaxed environment for animals. Our photos are stunning and no-one looks scared!”

Miss Princess Maya
ALASKAN MALAMUTE
Our pretty Miss Princess Maya, could often be found in the office underneath a desk or playing with a ball. She was the Mistress of Sweetness and none of us ever argued with that. Her spirit and character lives on with every session we do.
Master Blaze
ALASKAN MALAMUTE
Our Alaskan Malamute cross, Master Blaze isn’t seen as much in the office. Master Blaze is often found with a ball in his mouth and if it’s too quiet you know he is being the ‘Master of Cheekiness!’
