Sneak Peek: Max & Cole ~ {Ft. Walton Beach Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

Max and Cole are brothers – maybe not biologically, but perhaps in every other sense of the word. Cole is the older one that moves a little slower and generally tries to do his own thing – and he’s certainly old enough to be the stubborn one. (Although he’s a softie for a belly rub, as you’ll see in a minute!) Max, on the other hand, still has puppy-esque rambunctious energy, and I think his inner monologue goes something like this: “gotta see this! gotta sniff this! who is this! hello new friend! ooh what’s over there? let’s RUN TO IT!”

 

You know what’s funniest about these two? Watching Max pick a fight with Cole! They don’t really fight, of course, but there’s plenty of growling and teeth and and play-biting. You get the sense Max has woken up a sleeping bear and just doesn’t know when to stop! (It helps that Cole kind of looks like a bear.)

 

I’ll let you guess who’s who from the photos:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for a great early-morning session with your furkids, Theresa!

Sneak Peek: Ada Mae ~ {Pensacola Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Friday, August 12th, 2011

This session has been a long time in the making! I first met Miss Ada Mae (and her mom, Nora) at an event in Panama City Beach back in March. They’ve kindly kept in touch ever since, and the fabulous duo made the trip 4-hour round trip here to my studio in Pensacola for a session! So I was thrilled to see them again, of course!

 

Ada Mae is incredibly behaved for a one-year-old dog that’s two parts Chihuahua, one part dachshund, and one part rat terrier (did I get that right Nora?)! Enjoy just a few photos of this lovely girl!

 

She’s got a big pair of ears for such a small dog!

 

I think her fur is just beautiful. You can see different colors of spots on her chest!

 

We tried out a fun new background color!

 

Thanks again for making the trip, Nora! I hope you both enjoyed your Whataburger on the way home! :)

Sneak Peek: Owen ~ {Pensacola Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

Owen is a recent graduate of Best Paw Forward dog training, which is actually how I met him! He passed the beginner and advanced-level courses with flying colors (or so I’m told), and so getting him to sit and stay during our session was really not difficult. Or at least, it was easy compared to previous – um – over-enthusiastic pups I’ve photographed in the past! (No, I’m not naming names.)

 

I just love beautiful, rich brindle coloring on a handsome dog! Enjoy a few photos of this good-looking boy.

 

 

Owen has gorgeous eyes!

 

This is the mischievous look Owen flashed us right before taking off down the beach toward another dog…

 

But how can you be mad at this happy, happy face?

 

Thanks, Kathy! I hope you enjoy your Sneak Peek!

Sneak Peek: Willow ~ {Pensacola Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

I couldn’t be more pleased to introduce you to Willow, the happiest and most laid-back yellow lab I’ve ever met! (I was going to write “chillest” but then realized that’s probably not a word. Willow can also be described as very chill.)

 

She and her mom, Tonya, came out for a Mini-Session at the end of June, but they had so much fun that they couldn’t stop there! So they made the trek out to Pensacola and we visited gorgeous Bay Bluffs Park and historical downtown Pensacola. Here are just a few of their many images!

 

When we stopped at the railroad tracks, I was thinking “serious, tough-looking, wrong-side-of-the-tracks pose”, but Willow had other plans. And honestly, nothing suits her better than her sweet smile!

 

Then we played in the water…

 

And after getting soaked, we headed downtown to relax…

 

Oh, and it was no big deal, we just found a fire truck. A vintage fire truck. Sitting there, ready for Willow’s best Dalmatian impersonation.

 

Brace yourself, Tonya – your gallery is going to be huge! I can’t wait to show you more of your pretty, happy girl.

The Dogs of The Spotted Dog ~ {Pensacola, FL Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Saturday, August 6th, 2011

I was so thrilled to hear that The Spotted Dog was opening its doors in Pensacola last month! This city is certainly overdue for a dog boutique. The Spotted Dog is co-owned by Sandy and Ashley, a fabulous mom-and-daughter duo, and I can’t tell you how incredible their shop is! For being brand new, they certainly seem to know exactly what all kinds of people want – whether it’s rugged leather collars for your mastiff or cute spring dresses for your schnoodle… Okay, I know I sound like a commercial by now, but seriously. This boutique rocks my socks off.

 

Even better: Sandy and Ashley let me photograph their dogs! So we spent a bit of time in the studio, and a bit of time back at the shop. Ashley (the daughter) has Bentley the dark brown pit bull, and Bunny, the white-as-a-ghost inspiration for the name “The Spotted Dog”! Can you see her spots? Sandy (the mom) owns Lana the playful pit bull and Tiger, the old shepherd.

 

Here are a few of their images!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A somewhat silly family portrait!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lana actually has completely normal ears. But she wanted to look extra cute for her pictures, so they went flying!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Las but not least – a goofy outtake from our session! There were a few good caption ideas for this photo on Facebook!

Leave a comment on this post if you’ve got a funny caption!

 

 

I also wanted to include a short video I made for them, featuring their product offerings. Don’t they have a beautiful store?

 

 

So there you have it – a new part of Pensacola that I’m personally very excited about. You should definitely stop in sometime soon!
