Thor the Samoyed | The Streets (Fine Art) Session
Nothing like a little bit of color to make things pop.
Wheezy and Tito | San Francisco Pet Photography
I’ve been a little slow with blogging about sessions in the past three months since it’s been so busy, but I hope to catch up during the next month or so when things calm down.
I wanted to share a recent session that I did out in San Francisco, partially because I’m really missing that Cali scene right now, but also because I’m totally in love with how the images from this session turned out. I’ve been dying to do a beach session for quite some time now, so I was super stoked when Emily and Matt were game.
Wheezy (whose name immediately makes me think of the stage name for some rapper, fo sheezy), is a 9-year-old bad-ass black puggy. Returned by her original owners because they thought she was too “weird”, I was immediately smitten because hey, I’m kind of weird, too. (Us weird ones have to stick together, haha.) I couldn’t help but crack up over her many facial expressions that were captured. There’s one that I especially love because her face could be a meme. Let me know if you can figure out which one I’m talking about. ;)
Tito, a pom mix, and also seriously the smallest dog I have ever met, was insane to photograph. Mostly because he’s like a little atom that won’t stop moving (sorry, in a nerdy mood at the moment). I wish I had his energy level!
Thank you Emily and Matt for such a fun session. I hope you love their images!
Pop-Up Studio @ West Elm: Birmingham, Michigan
This month is already coming to close, and it doesn’t look like things will be slowing down any time soon. My busiest year yet, needless to say, with all the sessions + editing + getting clients their orders before the holiday season, I don’t think any of my family and friends will be seeing me until next year (seriously, ha).
With that said though, I may be a crazy because I happily agreed to support West Elm’s Pet Holiday Photo Shoot that’s benefiting the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) despite my schedule. Okay, maybe not crazy, because it’s benefiting a good cause, right? : )
The event is scheduled to take place on Thursday, November 6th from 6-8pm at the West Elm store in Birmingham, MI (215 W Maple Rd, 48009). I’ll be photographing (only) pets on a first-come, first-serve basis. You will receive a web-res image of your pet, with the option to purchase cards + other products–just in time for the holidays.
RSVP for the event here, and don’t forget to hashtag your photos from the event with #westelmxaspca. West Elm will be donating $1 for each tag to benefit the ASPCA! I’ll also be donating part of any proceeds from this event, as well. Super excited to be a part of this and can’t wait to see y’all!
(Due to the nature of the event, I would not recommend bringing any pets that have aggressive tendencies towards other pets or humans, or pets that are shy or easily stressed, as I will not have the extra time needed to get them to feel comfortable.)
