Olde Towne Pet Resort – Winter Portrait Sessions

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.Duffy - Border Collie

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.Bo and Puck - Bichons

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.)Bichon and Shih Tsu mix

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.Four dogs

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.Samoyed

Preparing for the Holidays!

Wow – it’s been a long time since my last post.  Lots of things going on here – I had friends and family in town over the last two weeks and we spent a week in the Shenandoah mountains.  The fall colors were fantastic!  I’ve got lots to blog about now to catch up with the past sessions so stay tuned for a bunch of new images. 

Every year, the holiday preparations start earlier and earlier – I remember when I thought it was too soon to think about Christmas before December 1.  Gone are those days!

Here’s a sneak peak of some of the things we’re working on for the holidays – they include holiday cards (of course), photo gift tags and photo candy bars.  The only problem with the candy bars is that I have to keep a lot of them in stock because I keep eating them!  The model for these products is KC – he is a volunteer with Fairfax Pets on Wheels and we recently had a photo fundraiser for their organization.  Images from that will be posted soon.  Without further ado (had to look this up – it really is ado and not adieu) – here’s KC.KC on gift tags
