Pet Photographer: Dogs & Cats Forever No Kill Shelter 2015

Another year, another calendar.  I always love photographing these adorable furry babies for the Dogs & Cats Forever charity calendar.  I get to spend all day doing two of my favorite things: hugging animals and photography!  I even got to name the first photo of the white cat, Snow White.  I would like to thank Andrea (the cat lady) and Jessica at D&CF for their help during the day.  And thank you to everyone who purchased a calendar this year.  Hope everyone loves these fur babies as much as I do.

Pet Photographer : Dogs & Cats Forever No Kill Shelter 2014

It's a new year!  Hello everyone and welcome to 2014.  ;)  A new year means a new calendar so means another session at one of my favorite local animal shelters, Dogs & Cats Forever.  Animals hold a special place in my heart so I just love being able to give back and photograph these cute guys every year to help make money for the shelter.  I go in and spend the whole day photographing, laughing, hugging and loving on these furry guys.  What photographer wouldn't love this?!  Lol.  Well here are my 2014 calendar models.  Some of them already have homes.  Yea!  Enjoy!  And if you'd like a calendar of your very own, they are just $10 each and benefits the shelter.

Pet Photographer : Dogs & Cats Forever No Kill Shelter 2013

It's a new year, and a new calendar.  This is my third year photographing the charity calendar for Dogs & Cats Forever No Kill Shelter.  Lots of new faces, but some the same.  I've photographed both Miss Jingles (gray in pink) and Gingerbread (Calico in purple) all 3 years.  They are both such sweet and loving cats.  Please come down to the shelter if you need a new friend or love.  I'm going to continue to photograph those two every year that they're there.  I just love them.  This year's photo session was a blast.  Trying to get three puppies on a bench to cooperate, ummm not so easy.  Haha.  But with some Photoshop and lots of patience, we were able to do it.  All of the cats just loved sitting in their basket, and all the dogs loved having their belly rubbed or neck scratched.  What a bunch of love bugs.  So here are my 2013 calendar models.  Enjoy!  And if you still need your 2013 calendar, please stop by the shelter or their thrift shop to pick one up, just $10 each, and all the money goes right back to the shelter.  Please click on their link below for location, hours and other info.  Thanks.

Pet Photographer : Dogs & Cats No Kill Shelter 2012

It's the time again for me, getting closer to the end of the year and I photograph the charity calendar for Dogs & Cats Forever.  Something I just LOVE doing!  I am such an animal person.  I just photographed their 2013 calendar images, but thought Id share the 2012 images first.  So here are the images we used for the Dogs & Cats Forever 2012 calendar.  That was our second year photographing the images for their charity calendar.  For my fellow "big dog lovers", I made sure to include some bigger guys this year.  But they were all so sweet and cute.  I want to thank all of my friends who purchased one of these calendars this and last year and I hope we sell as many this coming year.  I greatly appreciate it, and so do these furry guys!

Pet Photographer : Dogs & Cats Forever No Kill Shelter

I love animals, pets, furry friends.  I've grown up with pets as part of my family my whole life.  They are my "children" and mean so much to me.  They are there for you to make you smile, greet you in the morning as you wake up, super excited when you return home, and good couch buddies while you're watching TV.  Since I value animals I often participate in charities involved in helping animals.  One particular charity I like to help out with is Dogs & Cats Forever No Kill Shelter.  I would just randomly go to the shelter to visit the animals and say hi. After meeting some of the workers and volunteers there, it came up that I was a professional photographer.  They would do a calendar every year to help raise money for the shelter.  But the calendar just had quick snap shots, nothing very thought out or professional looking.  So when I found this out, we talked about me doing the photos for their next calendar.  And I did!  I've photographed their 2011 and 2012 calendars, and will continue to keep doing so as long as they'd like me to.  Ha, what a day, photographing over 12 different cats and dogs for the calendars.  Let's just say 1/3 of the time is spent hugging and cuddling the animals, another 1/3 is me, my assistant and the volunteers trying to get them to sit, stay, look at the camera, and the last 1/3 is actually photographing.  Lol.  But it's so much fun.  And the "models" loves the extra attention.  The hardest part is having to leave them when we're all done.  If only I had a huge farm or won tons of money to have my own shelter to take them all.  So here's the images we used for the Dogs & Cats Forever 2011 calendar.  I will post the 2012 calendar images next.  These calendars helped raise a ton more money than their previous calendars, which makes me feel amazing!

We also love to include your pets in your Family Portrait Sessions.  We will come prepared with squeaky toys and treats.  Hee hee.  So thinking about getting new Family Portraits, why not include "Fido" or "Fluffy"?  After all, it is a "family" portrait.  And if you're missing a "special someone" in your life, why not head on over to the Dogs & Cats Forever Shelter to see if you find your new best friend.  They're located right around the border of Port St Lucie and Ft Pierce on Shelvitz Rd.  Please click on link below for more info.
