Kerry Martin – award-winning photographer, author & pet parent!<\/em><\/p>

Kerry Martin is a passionate dog lover. Crazy some may even say \ud83d\ude09! She’s dog mum to two much-adored (and much-spoilt!) dogs, Keiko & Summer. ^^^^ that\u2019s them!<\/p>

“They give my days fun, exercise and meaning. I don\u2019t know what my life would look like without them, and for this Aussie fur-mum, they are the Australian doggos of the decade! They, along with the many, many amazing dogs I\u2019ve photographed as a dog photographer are the inspiration behind these awards. I want to share stories of their amazing feats, I want to highlight the very im-paw-tant jobs they are doing and I want to showcase just how incredible dogs are”.<\/p><\/blockquote>

For Kerry, as the human behind Puppy Tales and a community aiming to help and inspire pet parents live their most pawsome life together, dogs, photography & travel are what matters most to her.\u00a0<\/p>

She has been a professional photographer for over 15 years. She\u2019s a Master of Photography and has won multiple National & International Awards. The most notable of these awards include Australian and Victorian Pet and Animal Photographer of the Year. These awards were with photos taken for pawrents just like you. Each pet offers something incredibly unique and special, and each session is treated like an award-winning one.<\/p><\/div>

Kerry also loves to write & share about dogs, travel and adventures together. In addition to content for Puppy Tales, she\u2019s written articles for popular dog publications including Dog Life Magazine, Pets and Dogs NSW. She\u2019s also been interviewed and\/or contributed expertise to articles in publications including Travel with Dogs by Lonely Planet, Herald Sun, Sydney Morning Herald, Sunday Tasmanian, Capture and Digital Photography Magazine. And she\u2019s appeared on television talking about travelling with dogs (Channel Nine TODAY Show) and dog photography (Channel 10 Pooches at Play and Channel 10 Animal Extra). Her first book Dog Tales of Australia<\/em> is available now<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
