Her photography career started in 2006 after being inspired a year prior on a trip to Tasmania with a friend. She saw her friend using an SLR camera while she was using a film camera. When she returned from her trip, she purchased an SLR camera and multiple lenses. In an interview with Photo Review Magazine, she stated that she planned to photograph many different niches, but found herself taking more photographs of animals than anything else.[4] During a trip to the Cocos Islands in 2007, Cearns took images of blue clams at a breeding facility. She entered the images into different state and national photo contests and won 2 of the contests while placing in 2 others.[4] She opened Houndstooth Studio in 2008 which was named a finalist in the Telstra Business Awards in 2012 and 2013.[7] Cearns' work has been featured in numerous exhibits. One of the most notable was Look Twice, an exhibit featuring 60 photographs of 50 species of animals that she took while on a trip to Bali.[8] The photos included dogs, cats, turtles, snakes, and piglets from the island.[8] In an interview, Cearns stated she became overwhelmed at the neglected animals since she first visited the island in 2010. The exhibit was held on Swan, Alfred Cove in 2012, with proceeds of the sale of the photos going to support the Bali Animal Welfare Association.[9] In 2013, Cearns held another solo exhibit to benefit wildlife, this time in Cambodia.[10] The exhibit, Cambodia Wild, was photographed in Cambodia and included photos of Asian elephants, Indochinese tigers, Sun and Moon bears, and rare otters. The profits from the exhibit went to benefit Free the Bears Fund and Wildlife Alliance.[11] Cearns has appeared in numerous publications and also on television regarding her work. Most notably she has been a regular guest on The Couch, a television show broadcast in Australia and New Zealand. She has been interviewed on the show numerous times, including being a panelist on the show's BitchN segment.[12][13] In 2013 she conducted a live pet photo session on the show[14] and also was an interviewer herself when she hosted Mary Hutton from Free the Bears Fund.[15] Cearns released her first photo book in 2014.[16] Titled Mother Knows Best: Life Lessons From the Animal World, it featured photos of various animals capturing each one's character.[17] Since the release of her first book, Cearns has gone on to publish 3 more, Joy: A Celebration of the Animal Kingdom (2014),[18] Zen Dogs (2016)[19] and her latest release in 2018, Perfect Imperfection: Dog Portraits of Resilience and Love.[20] She also contributed photographs to the book "Things Your Dog Wants You to Know" by Laura Vissaritis.[21] Awards and exhibitionsCearns has won numerous awards for her photography. Her first award-winning photograph "Blue Clams" also received a High Commendation in the ANZANG Nature and Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition and was displayed at the Western Australian Museum in Perth. The photograph was also part of a travelling ANZANG exhibition Australia from December 2008 to February 2009.[2] Cearns was also chosen as a photo contributor for the 2012 book The Divinity of Dogs: True Stories of Miracles Inspired by Man's Best Friend, written by Jennifer Skiff, which has been published in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Italy.[22] Selected awards
