Sneak Peek: Oslo ~ {Navarre, FL Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

Oslo is a three-year-old Italian greyhound, a sweetheart, and possibly one of the most challenging furry subjects I’ve ever worked with. Don’t get me wrong – we had a blast together, and this was actually my second session with this energetic girl, since she originally came out for a Mini-Session! I was thrilled to hear that her parents wanted even more photos of their only dog, and we finally had the chance to get together again early yesterday morning. But I think her internal thought process must go something like this: “Gotta see what’s over here gotta go over there gotta see what’s that noise wanna go see let’s go run over here gotta go over there!” The girl never stops. And let me tell you, I’ve never worked harder to get a dog’s ears to perk up! Most of the time they were glued to her skull.

 

Regardless, I think we ended up with some beautiful images from the session! Take a look:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Does the last one look like a little jockey on her back? Because it is! Ha! But you’ll have to wait until her full blog post to see it in action…

Mini-Sessions!

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

It’s that time again – and sadly, it’s the last time. For those of you who aren’t familiar with me, I’m Allison, and I’m married to a wonderful man who happens to be a Naval officer. His training here in Florida is nearly over, and we’ll be reassigned (to who-knows-where) in about a month.

But I just couldn’t leave the area without spending one last day at 3 Dogs & A Chick (the area’s premier pet boutique & bakery) for more Mini-Sessions! They’ve always sold out in the past, and registration opened TODAY. So keep reading for all the details…

WHAT: pet photography sessions for half the normal investment of time and money; $65 total

WHAT YOU’LL GET:

~  30-40 minutes of session time, which will be spent capturing the personality of your pets in a fun, no-stress, non-posed way

~  a gallery of at least 15 finished, artful images to browse (probably more!)

~  an 11×14 print of your choice

~  a quick introduction to my entire product line

~  and a darn good time

WHEN: September 17th, during your one-hour time slot

WHERE: 3 Dogs & A Chick in Ft. Walton Beach – here’s a map. There’s a reason I’m so excited to return to this fantastic location: we’ll have a studio, a park, a cute courtyard, and a dock leading to the water! You’ll have a great variety of final images!

WHO: me, you, and up to three of your dogs

WHY: so you can have high-quality pet portraiture that you will adore. I guarantee it! After the session, we’ll have as many phone conversations, emails, video chats, and letters-by-pigeon as you need to determine what’s best for your house and lifestyle. I want to create something you’ll absolutely love – and nothing less!

I hope you’ll consider signing up for a time slot! But you better hurry – because this event is about as “this-is-your-last-chance” as you can get! I’d love to meet your dogs before leaving Florida – and I promise we’ll have a downright fantastic time!

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!

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.

Mini-Sessions on May 28, 2011: a small sampling of the photos we took!

Sound intriguing? Call the shop at 850.243.7297, or stop by in person to reserve a time slot. (You’ll see my work hanging in the store!) But hurry: the entire day (10 spots) sold out within a week last time! And now that word is out about how much fun we had, well, you better hustle!

 

Do you live in Pensacola, and driving to Ft. Walton Beach sounds like too long to spend in a car with your dog? Perhaps one of my standard sessions will suit your needs. See your options here, and email me at allison@allisonshamrell.com with any questions or to schedule a session of your own.
