Project Pound Puppy

Some of you may know by now that I have started a personal project that I am calling Project Pound Puppy. I am an avid pet lover. I have worked at an animal rescue in the past and now have the wonderful opportunity to volunteer at some local shelters by offering up my photography skills.


I have begun taking photos of dogs who have been rescued from any of the area shelters. There are so many ads out there on tv about all the dogs who need homes, but not much is written about the dogs who have found homes and the wonderful people who have taken them in.


When I am finished with my project I will be putting these pictures in a local gallery (most likely one of my favorite spots- a local coffee shop). Each photo will come along with a short story and picture of their new family.

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Delta Dew the other day. We had a great time! He wasn't too sure what my paper backdrop was. He must've thought it was some scary monster at first because it made such an odd noise every time he stepped on it. But as soon as mom pulled out his favorite toy, that monster was instantly forgotten. That's what we love about labs! They have such intense focus when it comes to  toys or anything that they love! That being said I will post just one of the pictures I took that day.

Why hire a professional?

Why would you hire a professional instead of shopping at Walmart or JCPenney's? There are many reasons! Though today I am showing you an example of just one.

 Walmart does not edit your photographs. Sure they can put the photo into black and white or sepia. But they do not remove scratches, blemishes, lint, etc.

This process doesn't take just one click of the mouse. It can sometimes take quite a long time to remove every little blemish. We are very meticulous about our work! This is just one reason why you will pay more for a professional than Walmart portraits. We offer quality, not Quantity!

 Please look below and you will see an example of what you pay for when you hire a professional.
