Portraits of the Month - August, 2017

 

August means … ROUX TURNED THREE! He is still spoiled and leads a completely fulfilled life, with a daily routine that includes plenty of exercise, fur-iends, and so much love! Humor me for a few photos of Sir Red Fur.

We had a solar eclipse and even though all predictions showed that we were in the path of totality, they didn’t bank on the rain - it started storming 40 minutes before the scheduled "sighting" until about two hours after the eclipse period. Roux was the only one in the house who wore the glasses.

Mostly August was busy with rescue photos and project work, including finalizing the images to be used in 2018 fundraising calendars for My Name is Milk, LaGunitas Brewing Company and Carolina ACD Rescue & Rebound (this also happens to be the 10th anniversary calendar). I also worked to produce images that could be used in a couple of vehicle wraps so I can’t wait to see those cruising around town!  

I made a couple of new business pals, including Love and a Leash, which is a local pet service enterprise (the owner and her personal pooch, Delilah, are shown below). She was good enough to bring a Sinbad Sadie foster dog (Bozley) to me for his promo photos (he’s now in his new home trial!) but my biggest takeaway was how much Roux liked her immediately. Really, anyone who knows him will tell you that is NOT normal, so that told me all I needed to know! I love her energy and we have since decided to offer our clients exchange discounts. Clients in their service area can receive a 20% discount off their first service with Love and a Leash by mentioning I referred them and Love and a Leash clients have a special photo offer from me in place as well. Win-win!

Another exciting new business friend is local publisher, Mount Pleasant Magazine, which also happens to produce Mount Pleasant Pets Magazine (among many other local publications). These full-color, high-quality magazines are chock full of interesting local articles and resources! As to how we will be working together, well, we are starting off with a few special events later this year that will include rescue beneficiaries (to be announced). Stay tuned for dates and details and then be prepared to participate!

Finally, by the end of August, I had photo’d 324 adoptable dogs YTD ({sigh} so many animals out there needing homes). A few of those special faces follow to hopefully inspire you to adopt, foster, or spread the word.

September has been set aside for vacation, down time and personal photo projects, which I am very excited to have the time to pursue! ‘Til next time, take care!
