Destination Pet Photography: Two Dogs at beautiful Lake Martin, Alabama

Wednesday, April 17th, 2013

I know I JUST made a blog post about how much I love working with repeat clients… but it looks like I get to be repetitive this week! (Yay! haha!)

I first met Lola and Sprockett (“Poodle Perfection”) almost two years ago, but unfortunately, Sprockett could not join us for any further sessions. He passed away a few months later, and his mom Deb was (understandably) crushed. He was a GREAT dog and is still sorely missed.

But the new addition to the family wasted no time making himself at home! Barkley is a miniature poodle (just like Sprockett was) and has a BIG attitude! He helps Lola develop trust in other people, and while her unfortunate upbringing will never let her become close with anyone except her mom, she loves having Barkley around. In return, she eats whatever food he leaves unguarded. (ha!)

Deb, their mom, has told me about her condo on Lake Martin in Alabama several times… so I was THRILLED when she decided to have a session there!! She LOVES her condo (and I can see why), and I think it makes perfect sense to have portraits in a place with such great sentimental value. I loved the concept almost as much as I loved actually being there… it was GORGEOUS! I’ll make a blog post with a few sunrise/sunset images soon, but with no further ado, session photos!

 

This is Lola and Barkley.

Could we possibly have had more perfect weather? Nope! Despite a cloudy morning, the sun came out to play!

Deb – I can’t thank you enough for such an enjoyable opportunity. You know I loved spending time with you & your pups… now if we could just do something about that wolverine… :)

 

Ladies Night Out! ~ {Ft. Walton Beach Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

This Thursday night, dozens of ladies and their dogs came out to 3 Dogs & A Chick for July’s downtown Ft. Walton Beach Ladies Night Out! (That’s a mouthful, haha!) Anyways, this is a fun, once-a-month outing that’s hosted by one of the downtown businesses. Next month it’ll be the new cupcake shop next door, Cupcakes By the Beach! But this month 3 Dogs and A Chick stepped up to the plate, and bunches of two-legged and four-legged ladies made their appearance. It was a lot of fun, and people won a LOT of door prizes! (As luck would have it, the prize I donated went to one of my recent clients… but she’s going to pass it on to a friend, so everybody wins!)

 

It was great to meet everyone that came out – and I mean everyone! Here are some of the happy faces I got to see on Thursday.

Sneak Peek: Lola & Sprockett ~ {Milton, FL Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

Lola and Sprockett are two completely opposite dogs. Let’s start with the basics: Lola is a girl (the cocker spaniel), and Sprockett is a boy. Lola is a cute mix of black & white, and Sprockett is totally stark white. But while Sprockett is a happy, outgoing dog, Lola has a troubled past (she might be from a puppy mill) and doesn’t ever wants to be without her mother, Deb. She’s a fearful dog, and never seems to be quite at ease when anyone besides Deb is around. It’s a sad thing to witness, and a testament to the horrible truth of puppy mills and dog abuse. It’s a good thing Lola has found such a loving home with Deb!

 

I still managed to get a few smiles out of both Lola and Sprockett during our session at the Milton dog beach! How could a day at the park not cheer anyone up? Here’s the Sneak Peek of these cuties.

 

Here’s Lola!

 

The always-outgoing Sprockett…

 

 

Plus, they came straight from the groomers to our session – and what would a grooming be without a little pizzazz?

 

 

Thanks again for a great afternoon, Deb! Talk to you soon!

Happy Valentine’s Day! ~ {Pace, Florida Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Monday, February 14th, 2011

Listen, nobody ever said Valentine’s Day is for humans only. These dogs are here to prove it!

Big thanks go to We Tuck ‘Em Inn for an amazing, busy day! We practically had a line out the door!

Warning: some pictures are extremely cheesy and/or cute. No need to adjust your monitor.

Some of the dogs that stopped by decided to redecorate my set…

But they were still sweeties!

Getting tired? So is she!
