I haven’t gotten my camera in hand nearly enough this past year, and keep wanting that to change. Having a young toddler working my energy and time is more than I ever imagined! Still when I get out to take photos I realize how much I really enjoy it.
My random trips out my local animal rescue always have me feeling guilty I can’t make it out there more often and do more. But after I leave from photographing many of the dogs I always feel great, from many of the interactions with different animals, and being able to take photos of them as well. I’m convinced the right photo just might stop the right person dead in their tracks and say I have to meet that dog or cat, that’s the one!
So, even though I’m always wanting to get more camera time in with rescue animals as well as private shoots, I sit and look at all my images and I’ve already photographed of rescue dogs alone and it’s close to 50 dogs! I can’t believe how many of these animals have been adopted out; it’s amazing. Hopefully, the photographs are helping and certainly I’m very fortunate to have an outstanding rescue to work with here in Park City, Friends of Animals; they are incredible.
I put together a little video of many of the dogs (not all) I’ve photographed during these photo visits to the Ranch these past months. Do you see you adopted in the video? If so, what’s their new name or did you keep their name? I’d love to know. In the meantime, enjoy:
Ok, it’s been awhile since I’ve been on here I know. I had a photography hiatus less by choice than life circumstances the past 6 months. But the camera has been getting picked up again and I’m shaking off the dust as I begin shooting more. It feels great! Recently I had the opportunity to attend a wonderful workshop called Unleashed. It’s put on by photographers Bev Hollis and Teresa Berg. Both very different women who have very different styles and perspectives but it made for an amazing couple of days. Not only was it a great way for me to shake off that dust but also hone my skills and knowledge on photography all while chasing down dogs to get the images I’d like. Fun time, great people and amazing dogs. Here’s a few of them to share with you from that weekend. Enjoy.
