After delays due to weather and illness, I was finally able to take my friend’s son’s senior photos. Mother Nature hasn’t necessarily been my friend lately. Even on Sunday, we had to battle some high winds during the photo shoot. Nevertheless, we powered through and created some magic! Heath, you were an absolute pleasure.
Chicks, Man. Chicks.
Recently, I had the pleasure of taking family photographs for Sylvia and Brian, runner friends of mine. I have long said that my favorite things to photograph are children and dogs. Well, let's add chickens to that list now!
While I have a bit of a bird phobia (don't judge me), I can't say that also applies to chickens. They are beautiful and unique creatures. I am glad Sylvia and Brian gave me the opportunity to take pictures of their beloved chickens. They were a blast! (The humans weren't bad, either.)
Animal Rescue League
Once again, I had the opportunity to take photographs of dogs who need forever homes at Animal Rescue League this week. I wish my schedule allowed me to do this every week, but I will take any chance I can get. Here are my two favorite shots from the night.
Rudette is a shy GSD, but once she warmed up to you, then you are golden.
This fella has striking eyes. It was impossible to take a bad picture of my boy, Bruce.
Sweet, sweet baby
It is a special moment when you can capture a dear friend from college radiate love to her newborn. Little Baby C is a sweet baby boy, and I selfishly wish his parents decide to move back to Pittsburgh.
Animal Rescue League
Several weeks ago, I had the extreme pleasure to take my trusty camera with me to Pittsburgh's Animal Rescue League. This particular has a special place in my heart because that's where I adopted my Mal pup in 2012.
A good friend of mine, who is as dog-crazy as me, volunteers at the Animal Rescue League every Wednesday. I had my camera with me at work on this particular Wednesday, so after I clocked out, I marched on over to the shelter. I wanted to take pictures of shelter dogs who needed a picture for their Petfinder profile. People are more likely to inquire about a pet if they have a nice, professionally-done photograph, than one depicting them as scared and sad (read more).
In a period of one hour, I was able to take pictures of five dogs with the assistance of my friend and another Animal Rescue League volunteer.

I am happy to say that all the dogs you see here have since been adopted. I don't know if my photos played a part. If they did, then that's awesome. All that matters, though, is that they all have found their furever homes.
