January 2020 Monthly Selections

I always have such grand visions that I will take January as JEANNE-UARY and give myself some downtime after the busy holiday season. I started out half-timing it this year, which felt great, but two weeks in, I was basically back to normal! Maybe next year…

Good news came in early January -- I learned about being selected again as Best Pet Photographer in the Best of Mount Pleasant voting (for the third year in a row now!). It truly is an honor and I am so lucky to be able to do what I love Every. Single. Day.

I broke my own Jeanne-uary rule and scheduled a couple of sessions. #noboundaries #totallyworthit :/ (Apparently, January is meant for sighthounds and bulldogs.)

My rescue work tallied up at 81 adoptable animals in January. EIGHTY-ONE!! This included some special photo time as a project I wanted to do for a batch of tiny puppy mill survivors that was taken into care by Charleston Animal Society. Goodness, we had so much fun with a few of these sweet and teeny babies (from 50 that they received into their care)! You can read the news story here from the original bust. They were quickly whisked into foster care and will, no doubt, be adopted into loving homes as soon as they are deemed healthy and big enough to join their new families! I'm including one favorite photo - the rest can be viewed on my socials as I stagger their posts. Rescue sessions also included the amazing animals at Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary and Dorchester Paws - one favorite from each of their shelters follows too.

Last year I created and shared monthly "posters" showing each month's adoptables as a collage. Since my goal for 2020 is to shorten this page for followers, watch for the posters to appear quarterly and at end of year now instead.

Because I had some time, I *DID* have the opportunity to focus on ... Treat Tossing! It's so much fun that I have partnered with Charleston Lash and Beauty Bar for a Treat Toss event on February 9. The sessions sold out within the first two days of going live for registration! Stay tuned as I think those photos are going to be hilarious. (We are looking at a second date so if you missed the first opportunity, not to worry! Upcoming dates will post online and on socials.)

LASTLY...BIG NEWS FROM THE HOMEFRONT: We celebrated Roux's five-year adoptaversary in January! Where does the time go?! In my mind, we were just driving a five-month old puppy home from Louisiana days ago. (Photo from his adoptaversary field trip and it is my absolute favorite face that he makes.)

I'll be updating my site galleries within the first quarter of 2020 and have some fun things and cool projects in the works this year, so subscribe or give a follow on my socials!
