Spring has sprung! Let's dive right in, shall we?
SHAMELESS PRIDE FOR MY DOGS (or good news about me)!
I try to keep this section for good news about our little family, but Gracie gave us quite a scare this past weekend and I feel it's an important share. You can read about it here - it was truly terrifying. The GREAT NEWS is she's back to normal. Give it a read and use it as a cautionary tale to trust your gut and seek intervention for your pets when you believe it's necessary.
CLIENT SESSIONS
Even with my FL trip and SEWE shooting obligation for Lowcountry Dog Magazine, February was busy for both outdoor and studio sessions and a couple of other projects. I'm so glad several families selected Cypress Gardens as their location in February, now that it's closed to pets again until fall - it's a really special spot. I even had the opportunity to shoot a sweet senior dog at a beautiful property in Bluffton! A few representative samples follow from February. Also, I've had a lot of senior pets lately and I mean seniors like 14, 15 and 16 - even a 17-year old cat not yet included here - and I'm not sad about it! #bestjobever
Little Sidney came to celebrate her SWEET 16 in style!
SHELTERS/RESCUES
The shelter load isn't slowing locally, although I have already had to skip a few photo visits this year due to travel, locally frigid temps, etc. February did include a few gorgeous and wonderful foster dogs too so while the collage may seem light, it's chock full of beautiful dogs.
On March 1, I met this cutie, too. Her longstay with a local rescue was really eating at me, so we scheduled a re-brand for her and showed just how much personality she has! Zarah is patiently waiting for someone to see how fun she is and choose her! She's in foster and available via Libby and Mace's Place Animal Rescue if you'd like to learn more about her - or click here to see her post.
STATIC REMINDERS - GENERAL
My current event schedule is always posted on this page as well as my main page. If you don't feel like checking back from time to time, you can subscribe to the mailing list. I only send ONE email per month (and sometimes, not even that because time gets away from me)! You can unsubscribe at any time, and I never share with or sell your information to partners or third parties.
My session calendar fills quickly and in 2025, I am only offering sessions 5 days/week so I do encourage reserving your space about 3-4 weeks out (or more) from when you want your session. This allows you the best opportunity to secure your preferred date/time of day and to have sufficient lead time for grooming appointments, etc. Scheduling a rain date is also recommended at the time we reserve your session (no charge to hold the second date). I always encourage potential session guests to view my site first and look over FAQs, rates, etc., before reaching out to reserve a space. Reminder too, July and August are out of the question for outdoor pet sessions for me - it's just too hot for your dogs to be outside for that long. #sorrynotsorry
Studio is always an option too and is an excellent option especially during the chilly months or the blistering hot summer!
*** COMMUNICATION
If you have reached out by email as an initial inquiry and haven't received a reply, chances are good it went to your junk mail. Providers like Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail will arbitrarily reject my replies and not tell me (or you). I usually respond to emails within 24 hours so if you haven't heard from me, check your junk mail. And please put your cell phone number in the inquiry so I can follow-up to make sure you received the communication. Thanks!
