Melbourne-based photographer Kerry Martin has turned the picturesque town of Dinner Plain in the Victorian snowfields into a unique holiday and photographic destination for families wanting one-of-a-kind pictures of their dogs this winter.
Martin was initially drawn to the town in the search of snow for her own Japanese Spitz breed dog as she wanted him to experience the snow first-hand.
She quickly realised the stunning backdrop was perfect for some "snow dog" pictures and is now hosting families who want her to create similar images.
"It’s not just the Arctic breeds who love the snow. All of those I’ve photographed have loved the snow play because it’s so new and different," she said.
"With Australia typically being seen as a sun and beach country, the snow provides a unique location, plus it is so pure and stunning, the dogs really stand out."
Martin is organising trips to Dinner Plain in August. To book a photo-shoot, contact her website http://www.akemiphotography.com.au/2013/05/17/victorian-snow-dog-retreat/
