I had a VERY fun session with Jessie last week! She was so easy to work with and seemed to have a great time and enjoyed the shoot almost as much as I did. As you can tell we did not “Trash” the dress, we just had a great time getting images that we could have never be able to get on the wedding day.  I had a couple more sessions this week for “trash the dress” but put them on hold until the heat index went down a bit. 112 degree heat index is a bit much with full make-up and a long heavy gown. So hope to have more of these session to show in the near future!

Thanks Again Jessie!!

Hugs!

So we are on week 2 of our “pets that needs a great family”  interviews.

First is Buddy, he is a 1year old Pomeranian. He is wonderful with kids and other dogs. When I brought him to the studio the first thing he did was greet my dog (rocket) with a kiss on the nose :-) Rocket approved and we started our shoot! If you know ANYONE looking for a new pet please tell them about Buddy and Trooper! Also tell them about Canines ‘n Cats in Ozark MO.

As for sweet Trooper, well he won Whitneys heart for sure! He is a 10 week old black lab that needs a good family to love on him.  He is such a sweet puppy, fat tummy and all :-)

Please call Connie at 417.581.5008 to find out more on these dogs. Also Peanut and Scruffy are still looking for homes. We will keep everybody posted if any of the dogs we feature gets a family.

If anybody really knows me they know I LOVE animals. A couple of months ago a rescue opened it doors right by my husbands work. Needless to say I pulled right up to the door and walked in and played with the dogs. I after a couple times of going in and being very impressed with the facility, I asked the owner, Connie if I could photograph her dog and share them with you. She was thrilled to have the help finds these little guys new families.

So for Whitney and my first interview we chose Peanut and Scruffy. Directly below is Peanut he is a total sweetheart and we my son and nephews favorite to play with. He is a very well behaved little guy and desperately wanted to stay here with us and claim us as his family ;-) Trust me I would if I already didn’t have 3 dogs myself! Peanut is a Chihuahua mix and is waiting for a wonderful family.

Below Peanut is Scruffy. He was my favorite! So calm and sweet. I gave him a bath for his photo shoot and he just stood still and was a perfect angel. He did not want to sit on the couch alone he wanted Whitney to sit and pet him. It was so hard to take him back, I wanted to just pay Connie and take him home with me :-) Scruffy is a Maltese/poodle mix. I think anyone who goes to visit him will fall in love.

Connie can be reached at cfos@ymail.com She is also available pretty much anyday in the afternoon at the adoption facility.

The address is 2012 Garton Rd Ozark Mo 65721. Or Give her a call at 417.581.5008

We plan on featuring two pets every week!

Hugs!
