Saber, Tayte, & Zara – and an announcement! ~ {Ft. Walton Beach, FL Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Sunday, May 8th, 2011

This wise old man, sweet old girl, and crazy young lady all live together with their mom, the fabulous Nicole of 3 Dogs & A Chick. It was a lot of fun to meet them and hang out in their (awesome) yard, photographing the way they simply always are. I’ll remember this session for how relaxed it was – more than just because we didn’t try for any running and jumping photos! There is a calm about these dogs, this household, that is enviable. You could feel the sense of harmony as these pups happily wandered around, sniffing the leaves and monitoring the squirrel activity among the trees. It was almost therapeutic, so thank you, Nicole, for opening your family to me and my lens.

 

Plus, a big piece of good news from the Porch Patrol!

 

 

Allison Shamrell Photography will officially be INVADING 3 Dogs & A Chick for mini-sessions at the end of this month!

 

That’s right, you can sign up now for a time slot on Saturday, May 28th to get photos like these of your own mutts! Here’s what you can look forward to:

~  30 minutes of session time with Allison, which will be spent capturing the personality of your dog(s) in a fun, no-stress, non-posed way!

~  That’s enough time to result in at least fifteen images you’ll want to frame. I guarantee it. (Probably more, but I like to under-promise and over-deliver.)

~  Completely amazing backgrounds to work with: the spacious park and dock area behind 3 Dogs & A Chick, the cute courtyard of the shop’s previous location, and a studio backdrop inside. Basically, more variety than you’ll be able to handle.

~  A private, password-protected online gallery of your images, so you can look them over dozens of times before deciding on your favorites.

~  A hands-on look at the entire product line-  there’s so much more than prints! You’ll see everything I have to offer.

~  20% off all of these products for timely orders!

~  A custom video slideshow like the one you just watched in this blog post.

~  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 give you something you absolutely love – and nothing less!

 

Since this is half the time of The Beagle Package, it’s also half the price. $65 will get you everything listed here, plus an 11×14 print and digital image of your favorite photo! Those two goodies alone are a $55 value… do the math!

To make an appointment: call 3 Dogs & A Chick at 850.243.7297, or stop by in person. Courtesy of their website, here is a map to their (new) location.

Grab your time slot today, before they’re gone! (Can’t make it on Saturday? Call the shop anyway, and let them know you’d like to be placed on the waiting list if Sunday opens up. With enough interest, I’ll be there Sunday as well.)

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 of course you can contact me with any questions you have. My email address is allison@allisonshamrell.com and I can’t wait to hear from you!

Easter Egg Hunt! ~ {Fort Walton Beach, FL Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

Hundreds of people came out to 3 Dogs & A Chick on Saturday for an incredible Easter Egg Hunt! I say it was incredible, and by that I mean incredibly short. I heard “Ready, Set, Go!” and less than a minute later, there wasn’t a single egg left on the ground! Many people had trained their dogs to pick up the eggs, but I don’t think anyone was prepared for the ridiculous free-for-all that it turned out to be! Inside the eggs were all sorts of goodies, like treats and gift certificates to the store, and after the hunt ended, everyone walked around to socialize, see the rescue groups in attendance, and make a few paw print paintings!

The weather was gorgeous, the location was perfect, and everyone seemed to be in a great mood. It couldn’t have been a better day!

Here are just a few photos from the day – if you were there, and would like to see the full gallery of photos, please contact me at allison@allisonshamrell.com and I’m happy to send you the link + password!

 

I love the flowers!

 

Is it just me, or does this dog look ridiculously happy?

 

You gotta love bunny ears on a dog.

 

 

I think I caught this dog as he was thanking his owner for bringing him out to the festivities – look at how happy he is!

 

There were lots of exciting things going on!

 

… and then someone said “Squirrel!”

 

 

 

After a while, a few of us got pretty tired.

 

There are many more in the gallery… and if I didn’t have the chance to meet you and your dog, I’m very sorry! I’ll be back to 3 Dogs & A Chick in the future for a very special event that I can’t announce yet… but trust me, it’ll be just as much fun as Saturday!

Saber, Tayte and Zara ~ {Fort Walton Beach, Florida Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

Let me tell you what, these dogs have the life. In fact, I think the phrase “you lucky dog” was coined years ago so that it could one day be said to THESE dogs!

 

Saber, Tayte and Zara live with their mom, Nicole, who owns and operates the fabulous 3 Dogs & A Chick, a dog specialty store in Fort Walton Beach that’s known all over the Florida Panhandle for its incredible supply of fun, healthy goodies for dogs and their people! This means these dogs pretty much get their pick of healthy food options, organic treats of all kinds, adorable collars and leashes, and bunches of interesting toys!

 

And if that weren’t drool-worthy enough, they live on a gorgeous acre of land that they share with Nicole’s horse, Chick! So they spend their days running around in the grass, barking at the garbage truck on the street, and hanging out with another (much bigger!) 4-legged friend.

 

If I were a dog, I’d be pretty jealous.

 

Anyways, here’s a Sneak Peek from our session on Monday! Saber is the old guy with plenty of gray, Tayte is the big girl that has the same pretty brindle coloring as Saber, and Zara is the younger girl with white markings.

 

 

 

 

 

Check out the dirt on Tayte’s tongue – gross! She doesn’t seem to mind though!

 

 

Enjoy these photos – Nicole, I’ll be in touch soon!

Sneak Peek of Cinder! ~ {Fort Walton Beach, FL Pet Photographer Allison Shamrell}

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

My most recent session features a very special dog from Fort Walton Beach: Cinder the Chihuahua. Her vet thinks she’ll be “crossing the bridge” pretty soon, so it was a bittersweet day as we played at her grandma’s house in Shalimar. Here are just a few pictures of her, so her mom can have a sneak peek before I show her the rest in person! I can’t wait to publish all the photos, especially because it won’t be a normal blog post! I have a special new presentation for everyone to see, so stay tuned!
