Pet Photography & Giving Back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pet photography has been my gateway to fulfilling a New Years resolution of giving back. Four years ago, I  made the easy decision to volunteer<\/a> with the local Labrador Retriever rescue. I’m a dog lover, have 2 Labs of our own, therefore, it seemed a great fit for me. While my ever supportive husband was on board for my volunteering my pet photography skills, what he didn’t know was I was actually looking to FOSTER labs. It made perfect sense: we both worked from home, have a large yard, our 2 Labs would help integrate a foster, and I’d get to play with a new dog every so often, and help find them a new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I filled out the volunteer paperwork, scheduled an interview with the head of the rescue, swiftly opened my hub’s office door, said “hey I signed us up to foster Labs, they’ll be over tomorrow to inspect the house” and bolted back down the hall. There was some  discussion, head scratching, and a definite fear I’d become a ‘crazy dog lady’, not once did he say no. Our time with Las Vegas Labrador Rescue<\/a> had begun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our very first foster, Sasha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sasha was adorable, sweet, playful and easy to foster. Most noteworthy, it was my HUSBAND who uttered the phrase “we should keep her”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I photograph pets and foster:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As we begin 2020, we have now fostered and adopted out 57 Labs. In addition and\u00a0more satisfying, I \u00a0photograph incoming Labs to the rescue, and as a result,\u00a0every click of the shutter has improved my skills with pet photography. Fostering and photographing Labs has allowed me to become an improved pet photographer! Every\u00a0image I capture of a Lab for the rescue helps get that Lab adopted. It has allowed me to make connections with wonderful families, and photograph them as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve ever thought about donating your time, DO IT! Most of all, pick something you’re interested, pick something you’re good at, and go for it. As a result, you will never regret trying to put some good out into the world, because we need more good people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, just look at these faces. I had a (very) small part in these gorgeous creature finding homes for 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
