Commemorate your Pet with Meaningful Artwork

Sandprints offers a unique pet portrait session experience catering specifically to your pet's personality and needs.  We want to genuinely get to know you so that we can photograph your bond. 

We want to capture their heart & soul, and this is best in a place they love with you, their human. It is really a special bonding experience for you and your pets.

The result? Truly intimate pet portraits that remind you of your love & intimate conversation with your pet every time you glance at your wall. 

Because their time with us is far too brief...

Pet Portraits for your home

How it works:

Step One:

Call Ginger to share your dream for artwork of your pet on your wall. Tell us where you would love to see a beautiful portrait in your home. Tell us about your family & your pets. Why do you want these pictures? What do you especially love about your pet? Let us make it happen for you. 

Step Two:

We enjoy a beautiful portrait session outside on the Central Coast. This can be one hour before sunset, or a stunning crisp early morning (with a back up date in case of fog). 

Step Three:

Ginger will come to your home for the big reveal appointment where you can oooh and aaah at your portraits and decide how to display them to the best possible advantage. We will walk you through the ordering process so that you are not overwhelmed or frustrated. Let us take care of you, offering a professional service end to end. 

Step Four:

We deliver your artwork and even help you hang it if you choose. We give you the pictures of your dreams, as custom gallery-quality artwork. 


Photographing dogs is Ginger's favourite thing to do!

Happy Clients:

"Ginger did family portraits for us with over 30 people. The photos turned out amazing! And over and above that she made the whole experience so much fun. With that many people there usually are some that are just not having a great time and would rather be anywhere but at a photo shoot, but not this time. Also we are people that think our dogs are family and we had 3 at the shoot and she included all of them and even took photos of just the dogs for us. I highly recommend Ginger and Sandprints Photography for any photo needs."

"Ginger is a gem to work with, professional, fun, funny and does beautiful work with people, animals and the beauty of the surrounding area. She is a diamond in the rough of photographers."

Gail weiss

"My wife and I have a Siberian Husky we love dearly. Dakota is so striking in appearance that people often stop us on our walks to compliment his beauty. For posterity's sake, we decided to take him for a photo shoot with Sandprints. From the beginning, we were impressed with our photographer's (Ginger's) professionalism and friendliness. She is clearly very skilled, easy to work with, and has an obvious gift for working with dogs. After the shoot, she provided us with an impressive array of photo choices, each bringing out Dakota's rare personality and handsomeness. Ultimately, we were delighted to purchase an acrylic photo that we will certainly treasure for years to come."

About Ginger Dinunzio, Chief Photographer

Ginger has a professional portrait photographer since 2000. She still gets a huge thrill making beautiful pictures that capture personality.  She genuinely adores all animals. Well, not great with snakes, but she can cope...!  

Ginger enjoys pizza, exercising, being outside and dancing to 70's or 80's music. She longs to spend more time with the teenagers in her family, but they do not (!) Instead, she lavishes all her love on their basset hounds, ginger cat and her husband.
