Project Puppy this Friday!

This is one you don't want to miss! The first annual fundraiser gala for The Killuminati Foundation is this Friday, November 13. There are only a few tickets left, let's help them sell out their first year! I will be there taking photos, and Merlin, along with other Killuminati rescues, will be walking the runway in doggie couture designed by MSU fashion students. There's also a silent auction with many amazing deals on pet related items, including a session and package from UTurn Studios. It's going to be a blast, and you get to help the community at the same time. Hope to see everyone there! Click here to get your tickets today...it's the LAST DAY they will be available!

Cowgirl the Ferret

This little cutie is Cowgirl, she's the beloved pet of my friend M. Aren't they so sweet together! M wasn't actually planning on being in the photos, but my lack of Ferret experience mandated it. We got some great shots, but there were also many shots where I clicked a split second too late and the shot was only of Cowgirl's tail while she skittered off the background. :) Cowgirl was most interested in hiding in my rolls of backgrounds behind the set. Thanks M & Cowgirl, I can now happily report that I will be better prepared for future Ferret clients.

A few favorites...

It's that time of year...time for lots of Holiday photos and photo events. I've been staying very busy! Here are a few favorites from some recent sessions. Don't forget that this weekend is our first of two Pet Photo With Santa dates. This one is at All Pet Supplies South on Saturday, November 7. You'll need an appointment for this event, please call the store at 877-4711 to reserve your spot.

The Jacks of Countryside Kennels

These adorable little furballs of energy are the official mascots of Countryside Kennels in Buffalo, MO. Check out Countryside's website, it is a great boarding facility that is conveniently located on Hwy. 65 between Fair Grove & Buffalo. My own fur crew stays there when I'm away, and I couldn't be more pleased with the care they receive. Meet the mascots:

Sam's Sneak Peek

Sam modeled for us last week at a shoot at for the Springfield Pets Guide. During the shoot, I snapped a few photos of Sam alone. He's just so gorgeous, I could have photographed him all day! Many thanks to Jenifer Kimberlin of Boxer/Schnauzer Rescue of the Ozarks for bringing Sam out, and to Hartman Farms for proving the beautiful location. And, of course, thanks to Sam for being handsome and very patient! Here's a peek at a couple of his photos...
