October, 2019 Monthly Selections

October remains one of my absolute favorite months – I usually have a Virginia trip, there is typically the start of fall color at least, and the temps in SC start to settle from the sweltering summer. My trip was tiring but amazing and I had so many beautiful sessions in Northern VA over a VERY short couple of days – just a few photos follow, or I’d have you scrolling for days!

Almost as soon as we returned, we celebrated Gracie’s two-year adoptaversary with us! Where does the time go?! It was hectic since I was just getting back to SC, but she did have a special day. One of my favorite photos of her from my trip is her Cookie Monster comparison - I mean, talk about SPOT ON!

Locally, I met a sweet, young family with a beautiful chocolate lab, who essentially graduated from college :) and her doxie bro-fur, and then a few sessions that will result in holiday gifts so I can’t share ANY of those! (Yet ...)

I was driving down the interstate one day and looked over to see one of my photos in use on a billboard for the Subaru campaign (see next paragraph). Then, friends around town were buzzing to tell me they were seeing them too! So that was fun -- but -- everyone was driving so no photos. #safetyfirst

Adoptable photos continued for Charleston Animal Society, including a costume set for Halloween. You can click here to view the video. I was also able to sneak in a Hallie Hill visit too – and there I met Ray, one of the specially-abled superstars from this year’s Subaru commercial for the Make a Dog’s Day campaign. Ray is an absolute chunk of love who was JUST ADOPTED THIS WEEK!!! through Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary. "You don't need eyes when you see with your heart." ~ Ray

My YTD total for adoptables photo’d has now passed 600 locally, even with missing two weeks of shelter photos during my trip! That’s more than six hundred beautiful loving animals I have been honored to meet, even briefly, while they wait on just ONE family each. That's just simple math.

Of course, the month wrapped with Roux and Gracie donning their Halloween costumes!

As we move into November, my schedule starts to really tighten up with fundraising events and editing through the end of the year. Please note holiday order restrictions and deadlines below, as well as upcoming events. I hope you all are in great spirits as we head into the holiday season!

There is only one public access event currently scheduled with Santa (11/23 at Woof Gang Bakery in Mount Pleasant) so we look forward to seeing you there!
