Sneak Peek: Skidd ~ {Milton, FL Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

Did you know there’s a dog-shrinking machine out there somewhere?

It’s true, and 11-year-old Skidd was perhaps one of its first subjects.

Or at least, that’s what I think. Because although her parents told me that Skidd is a lab mix, she just looks like a miniature labrador (40 lbs). I think the only difference (or evidence of some other mystery breed) is found in her ears – they’re more expressive than any lab’s that I’ve ever met! They seem to float around her face, like somewhere there are little jet streams of air continually pushing them up. It’s pretty darn cute.  You’ll see what I mean in this Sneak Peek…

 

I can’t resist captioning this one: “HEY MOM! HEY!”

 

 

She has the prettiest white eyelashes!

 

I’m loving the light on her golden coat… thank goodness the rain held off!!

 

Thanks for a great session, Skidd! I’ll see you & your parents again soon!

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.

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.

Madonna & The Gang ~ {Perdido Key, FL Pet Photographer Allison Shamrell}

Friday, May 20th, 2011

I know some people are very loyal to specific breeds. I have clients that absolutely love all golden retrievers, some that really can’t get enough of schnauzers, and one that wouldn’t consider owning anything but a westie. But I think they’ve all met their match with one of the most fearsome, intimidating breeds of all: the pug.

 

Talking to Madonna’s owners opened up a new level of devotion that I’ve never seen before. Don’t get me wrong; their house isn’t full of wall-to-wall pug decorations; they don’t head the Florida chapter of Pug Lovers; they don’t spend thousands of dollars for the finest grooming and boarding money can buy. No, they’re a completely normal couple. But their love for their pug, Madonna, makes them absolutely light up with joy whenever they talk about her or when she scoots into the room. This little roly-poly dog makes her owners so, so happy! And it was a beautiful thing to witness. Here is the Sneak Peek for this special session.

 

 

 

 

 

Madonna has a couple of Jack Russell Terrier brothers, too – this is Hobbes and Bully. Fisher the yellow lab joined in, too – you’ll see photos of him when I can reveal the entire session!

Moose ~ {Cantonment, FL Pet Photographer Allison Shamrell}

Monday, March 28th, 2011

There are some sessions that are just plain FUN for everyone involved. This one really sticks out in my mind as the best example of that! That look you see on Moose’s face in most of these pictures is him thinking, “Hey guys! This is fun! What do you want to do next! I love you by the way!” Seriously, I’m pretty sure that’s his constant interior thought process. And it’s adorable!
Moose is a loving dog that wants nothing more than to spend time with his parents. His parents love him to pieces. I loved seeing them all interact together. Are you feeling the love yet? I hope you enjoy these images as much as Moose’s parents do!

 

A few of my favorite shots…

 

 

 

 

I honestly can’t pick my favorite. Don’t make me.

…. What’s that I smell? A new sample canvas? Hmm, maybe! :)
