This portrait event session is now closed.  Stay tuned for our holiday portrait events in October and early November 2009.

We love going to the Olde Towne Pet Resort in Springfield, VA.  If you haven’t been there – you should go and take a tour – it’s a state-of-the-art facility built specifically for dogs and cats.  A few times a year, we host portrait events here - below are a few samples from our September event.  We have another event this weekend, November 1 and 2nd. 

This is Duffy.  Duffy was such a wonderful and loving dog.  She was very sick when she came to the session, though you wouldn’t know it.  Since then, she has crossed over the rainbow bridge.  We feel so fortunate to have been able to meet her – if only for a short time.  She touched a lot of hearts.

Here’s Bo and Puck again, they hold the record on being the most mentioned dogs in this blog.  They are always such fun to photograph.  This is just one of the many holiday images they helped us create.

Then there is Bailey and Sherlock.  We’ve had the opportunity to photograph them before and they just keep getting more and more photogenic.  (Bailey is on the left.)

This group of dogs (aka “The James Gang”) all live together with wonderful parents.  From left, they are Milo, Daisy, Mae and Jake.  Each of these dogs has their own portrait in their house - this time it was Mae’s turn – that’s her in the inset image.

And finally, here’s Treasure.  He’s a samoyed puppy that is a fluff-ball of energy.  You can see how much he’s grown by looking at one of our previous posts featuring puppies and kittens.

Want a one-of-a-kind portrait for your holiday cards?  Looking for a great gift that will appreciate in value?

We’ll be back at the Olde Towne Pet Resort in Springfield, VA for a few portrait events before the holidays.  You can sign up HERE for the November Event.  

Like our in-home portrait sessions, each of our event sessions are customized to you and your pet.  Each session is unique and each portrait is unique.  

Remember those crazy, extremely hot days we were having here in Virginia?  Well, on one of those days, Fairfax Pets on Wheels had their annual volunteer appreciation picnic.  As a former participant in Fairfax Pets on Wheels with my dog, Chica, I was proud to be there photographing the animals for pet trading cards.  If you don’t know about the Fairfax Pets on Wheels Program, it is a wonderful organization.  As quoted from their website:  “Fairfax Pets On Wheels connects pets with people living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.” Here’s a link to find out more  http://www.fpow.org/ (make sure to watch the video): 

Below is a collage of all of the animals that were at the picnic – see if you can find the cat!
