Foster Puppy Mustang!

Wednesday, March 14th, 2012

If you’re a fan of the Facebook page, then you already know the big news: we have a foster puppy! His name is Mustang (love that name!), he’s 3 months old, and we think he’s a husky-lab mix. I’m about to gush over how cute he is, but here’s the most important part of this blog post: Mustang is looking for his forever home. He’s adoptable through the Junior Humane Society of Pensacola and you can reach them at 850-968-3260 if you have any questions. I can personally attest to his fantastic, loving personality. He’s got a great little spirit and would love to spend half his days romping around a nice backyard, and the other half snuggling up to you! This boy really is a snuggler.

 

(Side note: regular blog readers will notice the different way I’ve included vertical photos: now they’re side-by-side! I hope this will make them easier to scroll through… I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!)

 

We started out the week with a bath, poor guy. I think for a few minutes he regretted leaving the Jr. Humane Society.

I think he was in shock/disbelief. But he was a few shades whiter when he came out of the tub!

These photos made quite a splash on Facebook… isn’t he adorable? (Trust me, the second photo is 100% Mustang!)

I love those little forehead wrinkles. Maybe he has some pointer in him?

 

His favorite pose. Seriously, this is all day long. He’s all about the belly-rubs.

 

His “big sister” may have taught him how to pose…

 

 

I can’t get enough of his NOSE!

Arguably one of my favorite things about puppies: their head tilts are frequent and easy to get!

I think he looks cynical here… “Really? I got the crazy foster mom with the camera?”

If you have any questions about Mustang, please ask in the comments or contact me directly. He’s SO much fun and the sweetest little boy! I know he’d love to meet you!

 

 

Labs on a Boat: Tulley, Hannah & Jake ~ {Destin Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

The original Sneak Peek about these three happy dogs elicited lots of comments, Facebook posts and emails from people saying they loved the photos! (Thank you to everyone, because it means a lot!) I actually received SO many that – although I’m terribly behind on blogging sessions after they’ve completed post-production – I just had to release this video as quickly as I could. Spoiler alert: you’ll find a few of our session’s uninvited guests in the video as well. Enjoy!

Christmas Pet Portraits! ~ {Pensacola and Ft. Walton Beach Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Friday, December 23rd, 2011

With Christmas coming up so soon, I thought you might like to see the results of the Christmas Sessions from earlier this month! I set up my studio in The Spotted Dog and 3 Dogs & A Chick, and a bunch of families came in to have their Christmas portraits taken. It was a lot of fun, and a bit chaotic – let’s just say I’m glad I splurged on the “shatter-resistant” ornaments!

Here’s a fun video I put together featuring many of the attendees we had – and I kept it to just photos of the dogs, even though we had plenty more portraits of everyone’s whole family! Enjoy!

Gulf Breeze Pet Fest ~ {Gulf Breeze Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Sunday, November 20th, 2011

Yesterday (Saturday) was the 2011 Gulf Breeze Pet Fest! It was a lot of fun – until Mother Nature decided she didn’t like the idea of peaceful weather. So up until that moment (when three 10×10′ tents went flying, and my portraits came crashing down from their display stands) everyone was having a great time! Check out some of the adorable dogs I got to meet before having to pack up my booth…

 

This sweetheart wanted to snuggle up next to her Dad the whole time!

Rayne was a wonderful familiar face to see!

Bailey was the only one in her family who felt like saying hello to me…

But doesn’t her sibling Jace have the most beautiful coloring?

Tally the lab – I love her eyes!

I also adore this pomeranian’s coloring.

 

This is Treu, the smallest pit bull I’ve ever seen! Definitely a sweetheart, and tennis ball-obsessed!

Haha – I’m pretty sure this is Treu’s “look how good I am beeeeiiiinnnggggg” face!

 

Some visitors decided they needed to see my work up close…

Aaaand we have the winner for cutest pup of the day!

 

Honestly? I would like to steal him.

Gumbo the Maltese is a close runner-up, though. Wrapped up against mom’s chest was the warmest place to be that day!

 

This is Sydney, the windswept Australian Terrier!

Some dogs were there to PLAY! This is Buster, the shorthaired pointer.

 

Such sweet eyes.

And since the last session giveaway I did was so fabulous, I decided to hold another drawing for a free session.

This is the winner! Meet Amore the Maltese, and you’ll be seeing more of this adorable pup soon!

 

I’ll leave you with one more of this little dude. Have a great week!

Sneak Peek: Tully, Hannah & Jake ~ {Ft. Walton Beach Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Monday, November 14th, 2011

Once in a while, to help celebrate an event that I’m fond of (like Barktoberfest, where I got my start as a photography business owner!), I’ll give away a session to one lucky winner. This session is a result of Dog Daze, which happened almost a month ago in Ft. Walton Beach. Little did I know, when I picked the winner (Susan and Chris in FWB), that I’d first of all meet three happy, adventurous labradors that kept me laughing throughout our session. And secondly, I had no idea what a great surprise this family had for me! Chris and Susan own a gorgeous fishing boat and we spent the morning sailing on the water around the Destin harbor! It was one of those sessions that makes me truly thankful to do what I do, and a little bit more in awe of the great people and experiences out there, just waiting to happen.

 

Accompanying us (oh let’s be honest, they were the stars of the show) were Hannah the 7-year-old black lab, Tully the 7-year-old yellow lab, and Jake the 2-year-old lab to the far right in the photo below. Needless to say, they had even more fun than I did while we cruised around the incredible turquoise waters of Destin.

 

Tully is the most regular tag-along on fishing trips, and clearly enjoys being on the boat!

 

The whole crew, from the dock.

We also stopped by the beach and played fetch for a while.

See the whiteness in Tully’s left eye? The poor thing was running after a ball and sprinted straight into a cactus! Hence, partial blindness :(

 

I just realized this blog post has been a bit generous with the Tully photos… don’t worry Susan and Chris, I have plenty of Jake and Hannah too!

 

 

Okay, one more. Couldn’t resist posting lab butts.

 

Thanks again, Susan and Chris – I really am so excited to show you the rest of your images!!
