Pet Portraits - Charity Event - Dog Portraits - Arizona Dog Photography - Crescendo Pet Photography

Last weekend was the annual Portrait with Your Pet event that I have done for the past three years, proudly partnering with Tracy Wosaba of Spiritual Whimsy. This year, the beneficiary was the North Shore Animal League America. Despite a much lower turnout than last year, we still managed to raise almost $800 for them, the worlds largest no-kill animal shelter!
Here are some of my favorite images from Saturday. First up, Bert debating the merits of attacking the squirrel.
Dixon was regal and stoic, until the last frame when he became a dog!
The Bauer corgis were so well behaved and snappy in their holiday collars!
Many of those who came out to the event were past clients, like the lovely Issey. As always, she looked marvelous in her blingy collar.
Sonnie was too cute in his jester collar. I think he was watching his sister Shadie for this shot.
Here is one image that was too cute not to share! This is Marmaduke and his boys. All 3 have such expressive faces!
This sweet pup was so gentle and calm. Handsome, too!
Miss SugarDog was another past client. Her sister DaisyDog was running around somewhere with the kids, but SugarDog was sitting pretty for this shot.
I met Tank for the first time and was in love instantly. This snorting, huffing bundle of cuteness had so many expressions I could have photographed him all day. He even smiles on command!
This was the lone cat brought in for the event. Tienda is a Bengal cat, rare and beautiful. Like most cats, though, she was none too keen on the idea of being asked to pose for her portrait. I think this shot sums up her exact feelings.
In a few days I will post some of my favorites from the second day of the event. For a bonus shot of Tank guaranteed to make you smile, head over to my facebook fan page here!
