Some things about my year:
1. This was a banner year for
me professionally with a record number of appointments, and several
events and publishings – so thank you!
2. I have met some truly wonderful people and some insanely adorable
(and gorgeous) pets.
3. I had the opportunity to photograph a 20-YEAR OLD
dog (just this week!) and am so amazed by her human family because
she was just adopted at 20 years old, after being discarded at a shelter.
Blessings to you all!!!
4. My heart continues to leap when I learn that one of my adoptable
friends has gone on to their forever home. I worked with six local
rescues in 2013 to photo and help promote their adoptables and look
forward to continuing these relationships in 2014. Other groups were
also supported by honor donations or silent auction items for fundraising.
I am proud to say I also invested considerable time (ballpark 200
hours) this year leading a small, core team and managing the most
successful fundraiser in the almost 50-year history of HSFC, netting
the organization over $20K.
5. Sadly, we said goodbye to some pet friends who I had the privilege
of photographing in the past, namely: Max Walker, Angus O’Connor,
Samson Murray, Zuky (Medina), Buck Davis, Koda Christopher, Lady Shipman,
Walker Tuggle, Storm Sinclair, Stella Fox, Rocco Pepke and Fluffy
Chim. As much as I hate receiving the news of these sweet
companions’ passing, I very much appreciate the families letting
me know. Memorial pages are available by visiting the
Memorials tab.
My wish is that everyone (furry
and non-furry) will enjoy excellent health, happiness and peace in
the company of loved ones throughout the new year. I’m starting
my 2014 with a working vacation south!
