Sneak Peek: Daizie & Wink ~ {Pensacola, FL Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

March 3rd, 2011

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Yes, I know that was last month. But today’s sneak peek features the winners of my Valentine’s Day contest!

We went to historic downtown Pensacola, which provides some fantastic backgrounds, and the owners of Daizie & Wink were more than happy to give them a try! Our shoot was at a pretty relaxed pace, since Wink (aka Bullwinkle, the little black dude with attitude) can only trot along so fast- he’s 14 years old! And Daizie is a complete mama’s girl, so getting her away (even just a few feet) from her mom was quite the challenge. Can you guess what breed she is? I thought she was Welsh Corgi and I was completely wrong.

The session mostly features Daizie, so I figured I’d give the limelight to Wink for the sneak peek. Enjoy the photos!

 

 

Oh, we just went for a swim in the fountain, no big deal…

 

 

Thanks, Crystal & Susie! See you soon for your ordering session!

Sneak Peek: Moose ~ {Pensacola, FL Pet Photographer Allison Shamrell}

February 28th, 2011

I spent a wonderful afternoon on Saturday with a 34-pound ball of energy: Moose, the border collie-labrador mix! He’s a year and a half, and his parents’ only “child”. You might have seen him around town before: he won a ribbon at the 2010 Splash Dogs competition, and is training (currently a “green dog”) with the Flyball team! Plus, he’s adorable. Who couldn’t love this little guy?

So, without further ado, here’s your sneak peek of Moose! “Readyyyyyy…”

I can’t wait to share the rest of the photos with you! Thanks for a great session, Moose!

Happy Valentine’s Day! ~ {Pace, Florida Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

February 14th, 2011

Listen, nobody ever said Valentine’s Day is for humans only. These dogs are here to prove it!

Big thanks go to We Tuck ‘Em Inn for an amazing, busy day! We practically had a line out the door!

Warning: some pictures are extremely cheesy and/or cute. No need to adjust your monitor.

Some of the dogs that stopped by decided to redecorate my set…

But they were still sweeties!

Getting tired? So is she!

Congratulations to Daizie!

This cute little girl is a dachshund-Papillon mix, and the winner of my Valentine’s session giveaway contest! I let my Valentine (my husband!) pick the winner among all the entries, and let me tell you, I’m pretty glad he made the decision and not me! I received SO many fantastic submissions- even one Powerpoint presentation! But her owner, Crystal, sent me this photo and wrote a long submission about how much she loves Daizie, and it was too cute to pass up! Here’s a small excerpt:

“We have gone through obedience school and hopefully will be working towards getting her Canine Good Citizen Certification soon.  I think it is great, I have taught her how to sit and stay and also to come when I call her.  I have never felt so much accomplishment in something that I did. […] It was hard sometimes, but we got through it TOGETHER.”

Congratulations, Crystal and Daizie! I’ll be in touch about scheduling your pre-shoot consultation!

Thank you so much to everyone else that entered. I was absolutely blown away by your entries; I may just have to make this a yearly tradition!

Valentine’s Day Contest! ~ {Pensacola, FL Pet Photography by Allison Shamrell}

February 10th, 2011

Allison Shamrell Photography is proud to announce  a Valentine’s Day contest!

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I’m feeling generous and would like to share the love with someone else! Here’s what that means to you: someone is going to win a free session!!  Interested?

Here are the rules to enter:

  1. Email me an explanation of why you love your dog. It can be anywhere from a sentence to a few pages in length, so get creative!
  2. Include a photo you’ve taken of your dog- so I can see who you’re talking about!
  3. Live within 30 miles of Pace, or agree to meet me within that distance for your session. Or pay for my gas to get to you!
  4. Do all this before Valentine’s Day. The deadline is midnight on the 13th!

Here are the prize details:

  1. One photo session with me at absolutely no cost to you! It will last between one and two hours, and I’ll accept maximum two animals.
  2. A $100 print credit to use however you want! You’d normally have to purchase my biggest package to get that kind of a credit…
  3. I’ll even throw in 5 low-resolution images for you to keep, that will be sized perfectly for Facebook, cell phone backgrounds, and other fun things!

If the chance to win all this sounds like it’s worth an email to you, then just send your information to allison@allisonshamrell.com.

Good luck! I can’t wait to read your entry!
