November and December 2022 | Monthly Selections It's so much easier at year-end to recap both months, so here you go! November Because of Thanksgiving travel plans, I had to limit holiday sittings to one event this year, so in early November, we spent a day at K9 Resorts of Mount Pleasant in the company of daycare kiddoes enjoying their holiday "humor". Click here to view recap video (best viewed 360p). The month also brought me several wonderful client sessions, both in studio and at some of my favorite locations! Representative photos follow.
I had the opportunity to stop by Flagler on my way back to SC from FL to hang with some surfers for a few :) And last - but not least - I had the honor of photo'ing my niece's newborn baby, Myles <3 December The holiday season is always crazy for photographers and my business is no different! My annual Santa photo fundraisers have grown each year and this year - my thirteenth year holding these events - we had NINETY sittings made up of 136 dogs and three very brave cats! My hours spent on this totaled 38 just in December so know that these are no joke! Feedback from guests was spectacular so I am really pleased and grateful :) And while the nonprofits designated as beneficiaries - Friends of Berkeley Animal Center and Libby and Mace's Place - were slated to receive half of the event's net proceeds, I was able to secure matching donations from a generous and anonymous supporter so EACH group earned $1,100! My event volunteers and Santa were fantastic - efficient, friendly and well-organized! Note - I will be moving the dates to MID-NOVEMBER in 2023, so PLEASE be on the lookout for info in the fall. As always, thank you SO MUCH to Woof GangBakery and Grooming for allowing us to take over their space and making sure guests had a great time! I was THRILLED to meet-up with Aqua and her fabulous family! Aqua was a long-stay resident at a local shelter (173 days!) and her adopters literally saved her life. She's smiling because she knows it! <3 I can't wait to share her story soon! And then there was Brady, a stately senior who was adopted out of City Dogs Rescue in DC a few years back, now living large in CHS! We had Chip here for about 9-10 days while his people were on vacation. Spoiler Alert: He's still adorable - and obviously still has a puppy streak in him! And now for the 2022 summary as of 12/27/22:
Every year I look back over my work and while the goal is to always feel like I’ve made a difference somewhere, the truth is there is ALWAYS more that can be done. So, I take the small wins and head into each new year with a renewed heart and hope that maybe the new year will bring positive changes for shelters and rescues everywhere. And for clients, I continue to wish excellent health, happiness and loads of memory-making opportunities with your beloved furry companions! *** I like to *try* to take time off in January (Jeanne-uary :) ) to regroup, work on some business plans, update galleries and the website, get gear serviced, etc., but will always make time for terminal pets or special situations and, of course, shelter and rescue/foster photos. Until next time, be safe, enjoy the holiday season and accept all of our best wishes for your happy and healthy new year! ***** Feel free to follow socials for updates (linked below) or you can subscribe to my mailing list (I only send one email per month). Upcoming events are also listed below.
