Homeless and feral cats are a truly colossale issue right now. To see a cat cafe open in the area, essentially a foster home for a number of adoptable cats, was so encouraging. I really enjoyed to meeting Tallie, the director, and all of the fluffs in their care.
Often times, smaller animals get overlooked for the important role they play in our lives, and the joy they bring. Members of the rodent family have shorter life spans. There are people who think this gives them less value, but having a pet that is time-limited makes those moments even more precious.
I was very excited to document a new breed of cattle. The characteristic that stood out to me about these Highlanders was their curiosity. These particular cattle are not very accustomed to being up close and personal with humans but that did not stop them from trying to investigate the camera or myself. Highland cattle are known for their friendly nature with humans.
What is one thing you could never live without? (Ian {boyfriend} says that it was be McDonald's for me haha!) I think it would have to be photos. Photos make it possible for generations to pass along to the next generation an idea of what it was like while they were growing up and they also help you to not forget someone and what they look or looked like. They are amazing little memories of life.
Jennifer proposed that we exchange portrait sessions and I just had to say yes! She and her husband, Jeremy, have a spaniel mix named Lucy. Lucy is an important part of their family so had to be included in their photos. My husband and I also brought our dog, Beatrice, who is a mastiff mix. Despite the size difference, Bea and Lucy got along perfectly. They both posed... kind of... and mostly paid attention to our directions. We got many precious shots of both of our little families!
The mighty Great Dane is known as one of the largest breeds of dog. The American Kennel Club attributes the Danes with three main character traits. According to AKC, Great Danes are friendly, patient and dependable. You might think of the famous, dopy comic character, Marmaduke, when you think of a great dane. Or maybe you think of the mighty boar hunters as they were first bred to be.
Tessa has a huge heart for people and she gives 100% to everything she does. Tessa decided she "might" get a dog... As soon as she met Max, she had to say yes! After all, who can resist those puppy dog eyes?! Pet photography has got to be one of the most fun and unpredictable types of session I have done. This puppy was constantly on the move!
