That’s a Wrap: Photos from the 2016 Portraits for Pooches Fundraiser

Thursday, December 15th, 2016

Oh my goodness – whirlwind weekend doesn’t even begin to describe it. I was absolutely blown away this year (pun intended! ha!) by the support and generosity of the Portraits for Pooches attendees! My weekend was fully booked solid, and it was great to meet so many San Diego dogs – but it was just as fun to write a $1,500 check to the San Diego Humane Society! Not to mention the huge food donation, that the volunteers could hardly believe was so big and so high-quality! Yay! I’d definitely say this fundraiser was a massive success – who knew a mini photo session event for dogs could have gone so smoothly and so well? Haha! And after everyone has ordered their favorite photos as prints, canvases & Christmas cards, I finally have the time to share some of the gorgeous results with you! Here are just a few of the wonderful families who came out this year:

Roxy and Rowdy, cattle dog mixes, and their parents

mini pet photo sessions

 

Trooper and Tres, mixed breed dogs, and their parents

Gracie the boxer and Chico the chihuahua mix, and their parents

Missed out on the event this year? Don’t be (too) sad – a few Portraits for Pooches events are on my 2017 calendar! The first one is actually in January (eeeek!) and it’s benefitting California Labradors, Retrievers & More. Perfect timing for a Christmas gift! If you’d like to participate – or if you’re a representative of a local animal rescue and would like to reap the benefits of a similar event – drop me a line! You can call 619.357.6624 or email me at allison@allisonshamrell.com.

 

I hope to see you at a future event – whether it’s to celebrate Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, National Dog Day or next year’s Christmas card photos! :)

Portraits for Pooches: a Mini Photo Session Event for the San Diego Humane Society!

Monday, October 17th, 2016

It’s that time of year again! November means the next Portraits for Pooches event, mini studio pet photography sessions that benefit a local San Diego charity! I can’t wait to meet dozens of local dogs for quick and fun photo sessions – so they can grace their families’ Christmas cards this year!

And better yet: this is a fundraiser for the San Diego Humane Society! $50 from every session will be donated to help homeless animals find their forever families. (Attendees can even bring a bag of dog food to receive a complimentary 8×10″ fine art print from their session, as well!)

These 15-minute photo sessions are long enough to create at least 10 frame-worthy portraits, and yet they’re short enough to keep the attention of any dog! (And you can feel free to jump in for a few family photos, too!)

Here are all the details:

Everyone is already walking away with their favorite photo as a high-resolution digital image, ready to be printed on Christmas cards & gifts – but what if you end up with TWO favorite photos? Or three, or four?

Here’s the info for any additional products, which are completely optional but entirely available:

Remember: registration for Portraits for Pooches opens on Wednesday, October 19, 2016!

There’s a limited number of time slots available, so call 619.257.6624 to reserve your spot!

So whether you’d like to pretend that your pooch is a pilot, or keep things simple and get a head-start on your Christmas cards this year (eeek!), there’s an option for everyone. Here are all the details!

Holiday Pet Photography Mini-Sessions!

Sunday, October 25th, 2015

I could not be more excited to announce the amazing event that I’ve been planning for weeks now!! Since the holiday season is my busiest time of year, and I certainly don’t enjoy turning people away that call me in mid-November for Christmas card photos, I’ve designed an event that will open up my availability to dozens of San Diego families, just in time for the holidays! Drumroll please… announcing…

 

My 2015 Holiday Mini-Sessions!

As the graphics above describe, here are all the details:

~  $99 for a 15-minute mini photo session!

~  These are happening on November 21 & 22, 2015.

~  We’ll be in a San Diego public park on the 21st, and the studio (on Adams Ave) on the 22nd.

~  You get to pick out your favorite image and keep it as a high-resolution digital file, with a full print release.

~  You’ll have 10+ images to choose from; it’s truly a taste of the custom photography experience!

~  The whole family is welcome to come! (up to 2 pets allowed per time slot)

~  Booking opens on November 1st! See below how to reserve your time slot.

 

And just because this is a special event, I’ve been working with almost a dozen other businesses to put together swag bags for all the attendees! These are some of my very favorite local businesses that I love & trust – I’m talking about Camp Bow Wow, Decadent Dog, San Carlos Animal Hospital, Kensington Pet Supply, Dogs Abound, La Jolla Colony Vet Hospital, Earthwise Pet Supply, Awesome Doggies – and they’ve combined forces to create swag bag goodies that are absolutely AMAZING! I’m so excited – if you add up everything inside, they’re actually worth more cash than the session fee itself! Gah! So fun! :)

 

Of course, during each mini-session, I’ll create more than just one Christmas-card-worthy image. Participants will actually have over ten finalized images to browse! So for anyone that would like to sample a few products from my archival-quality product line, I’ve put together a few product collections & options:

Here’s how to reserve your time slot!

  1. Wait until November 1st – make a reminder or mark it on your calendar!

  2. Email me at allison@allisonshamrell.com, or call me at 619.357.6624 to pick your time slot!

And that’s it! Pretty simple! But I have a feeling these mini-sessions are going to sell out – so don’t wait until mid-November to get in touch!

 

Yahoo! I can’t wait! And I hope to see you there! :)
