UTurn Studios goes underground...

...literally! Join us for something a little different, a lot fun and all for a great cause! On Groundhog Day, February 2, 2010; we will be participating in a new Relay For Life fundraiser at Fantastic Caverns. It's the Groundhog Mosey, a very unique opportunity to walk through Fantastic Caverns. We all know Fantastic Caverns as America's Only Ride-Through Cave, but now you have the unique opportunity to walk through, exploring and enjoying at your own pace. The best part, in my opinion, is that no matter how cold it is that day it will be a warm and cozy 60º inside the cave! We will be there taking photos, and for an addition donation to Relay For Life, you can even have your photo made with "Greta the Groundhog"!! Click here to get registered, the fee is only $25 and includes the Mosey through the Cave, a gourmet oatmeal breakfast sponsored by the Doubletree Hotel and a fabulous event shirt designed by yours truly.

Dog Fest this Saturday!!

Don't forget to come out for DogFest this Saturday, September 26 from 10am to 2:30pm at Chesterfield Park. This event is free and open to the public. Features include canine-related demonstrations, vendors and rescue organizations. And of course, the outrageously fun Dachshund Dash! While you're there, be sure to stop by our booth. We will be unveiling new products and have some fun giveaways. I look forward to seeing everyone there! Click here for a link to the park board website with all the details. See you there!

So, are you itching to know what the special is?? Here's a hint... :-)

Bath & Biscuit Grooming Salon

Many, many thanks to the staff, customers and friends of Bath & Biscuit Grooming Salon in Marshfield, MO. We had a great photo day at the Bath & Biscuit Open House this past weekend. Here are a few of the adorable furry mugs that attended:

Edward, the shop kitty, is so photogenic! He loved posing and hopped in for several photos between customers. :-)

Murphy & Hoover

Meet Murphy and Hoover, a couple of great dogs. These boys are Wheaten Terriers and have very fun, energetic personalities. I have not had the opportunity to work with many Wheatens, as there just aren't that many in this area, but they were a blast and it was a fun challenge to find their eyes under that wonderful tuft of hair on their foreheads! On the day of our studio session, it was raining and we weren't able to shoot anything outdoors. Luckily we were able to meet back up at Nathaniel Greene Park a few days later– it's an absolutely gorgeous place to shoot. We even had some Canadian Geese make a guest appearance.

 

Dog Fest - only two days away!!

One of Springfield's best dog-related events of the year is coming up this Saturday, September 27. This is one you don't want to miss, there's FREE admission, the Dachshund Dash, a silent auction with wonderful items, and TONS of dog-related vendors to visit with. It all takes place from 10am to 2:30 pm at the Chesterfield Family Center Park. This is such a fun event, and best of all, it benefits the Cruse Dog Park project. While you're there, stop by the UTurn Studios booth. We'll be handing out our popular "doggie takeout boxes" to the first 100 visitors to our booth, and make sure to bid on our silent auction item. It's a photo session worth $185! The weather forecast for Saturday is beautiful, so it's a great time to take Fido for an outing. Hope to see you all there!

Molly & Coco

Meet Molly & Coco, two little ladies with huge, happy personalities. Their Mom won the raffle at Sucker Days this summer, and you'll have the chance to get the same photo package at Dog Fest on September 27! It's a great big pet photo package, worth $185, and it's up for grabs at the Dog Fest silent auction. Don't miss your chance to get a great deal and help out the Cruse Dog Park Project (all proceeds from the silent auction items go to benefit the park project!) Here are a few of the shots from Molly & Coco's session....I think you can see how much fun we had!

Another Rainy Saturday...

Well, the weather predictions are for rain this Saturday. Again. But don't despair, I have a great suggestion for indoor fun! UTurn Studios will be taking photos all day Saturday at All Pet Supplies North. We will begin at 10am and wrap up at 5pm. Come by and have your pet photographed. There will be a variety of backdrops to choose from, and also several very affordable photo packages to choose from as well. Give me a call if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing you there! (Can't make it this Saturday? No worries! This is a monthly event, happening the last Saturday of every month, mark your calendar!)

Jan's Grooming

Last week I had the pleasure of setting up a photo day for Jan's Grooming and School and what a day it was! It was like a pet photographer's dream...lots of dogs and cats, all perfectly groomed and very happy to be there. Jan and her team are all very talented groomers, as you'll see in the photos below. You can visit Jan's website at www.jadacats.com or give them a call at 417-883-2547 to get an appointment for your pet. Many thanks to Jan for having us in your shop! Here are a few of the dogs and cats we photographed there...
