The Dogs of Pensacola’s Davis Animal Hospital

Saturday, August 25th, 2012

In the calm before the storm (Hurricane Isaac), I was able to get together with April and her four pooches – and as it turns out, the weather & light were absolutely beautiful for our session! April is the owner of Davis Animal Hospital, a great new vet clinic in Pensacola, and a few photos of these dogs will be decorating the exam rooms very soon! I think that’s a pretty awesome perk of owning your own animal hospital; seeing your own dogs’ happy faces on the walls each day.

In focus on the left is Grace, a 3-legged pit bull mix who loves hunting squirrels and racing around with her brothers+sister – can you believe she’s the fastest one of them all? Missing a leg has NOT slowed her down! On the right is Molly, who became my new best friend when she discovered I brought treats to the session. She even tried to hop in my car and come home with me!

These are Captain Morgan Sr. and Captain Morgan Jr.! The older one is ten years old, and goes by Morgan, while the younger one is ten months old and his nickname is Captain. They’re biologically father+son! And they love to play with their tennis ball.

I’m sooooo excited about the photos from this session – I probably won’t be able to resist posting a few to the Facebook page! One is already up, of Captain fetching the morning paper… it’s pretty cute thanks to Captain’s awesome trick. All these dogs are so good-looking!

Thanks for reading!  :)

 

Daly, the Big-Eyed Lab/Terrier Mix (aka Heinz 57!)

Friday, April 27th, 2012

Usually for Sneak Peeks, I try and choose a few of my favorite images from a quick browse through all the photos from a session. I usually settle on three or four pretty quickly; I’m a relatively decisive person (don’t know how I could be in this business otherwise!) and most times, my clients end up loving their Sneak Peek photos most of all!

This time is different. I was honored to spend a fabulous afternoon with Elaine and her pup Daly, and let me tell you what, I am having the hardest time picking any favorite photos! I’ve gone through her images so many times and my usual decisiveness has gone out the window. So here is a truly random assortment from our session! I still think they’re pretty cute :) Enjoy!

Daly’s story is so interesting: her mom rescued her from a big litter of puppies in New Orleans about eight months ago, and it turns out, one of Daly’s biological siblings came to live in Gulf Breeze too! She’s named Lizzie and looks much more like a labrador than Daly (they have a labrador mother, which I’d never guess just by looking at Daly)… but, together, you can’t hardly tell what either of them look like because they’re just one big blur of dog! It was sooooo funny to see them play together!

Elaine, I absolutely cannot wait to see you & Daly again. But first I have the monstrous task of picking the best photos out of your gallery – something I’m equally excited and terrified to do! Haha thanks for showing me such a fabulous afternoon, and I’ll be in touch soon!

These dogs are just funny – and I think they know it!

Tobey is the dachshund, and Jack is the peigle (that’s a shar-pei/beagle mix). Tobey tends to run in circles when he gets excited – and I think he loved seeing all his photos, since he practically wore a circle-shaped hole in the ground during our ordering session! It’s hilarious to see him get so worked up (especially at the dog next door – you’ll see his rapt attention at the backyard fence in the slideshow!) and Jack just sits. And watches. And probably thinks to himself, “Here we go again.”

Enjoy your video, Jack and Tobey! Try not to get too excited.

Thanks for such a fun session, Chad and Michelle! I can’t wait to see the products you ordered!

Mac & Samantha ~ {Pensacola, Florida Pet Photographer Allison Shamrell}

Saturday, November 13th, 2010

I like to think of these two dogs as an all-American pair; and how fitting, since they’re owned by a Marine and his wife! This is Mac the lab puppy and Samantha the beagle, and they are just classic in every sense! Mac is super active and really friendly, and knows a few tricks but mostly did them just for the promise of treats! Samantha is a little sweetheart once you sit down with her, but let her loose and her nose is the boss. We had a great time in their backyard, and except for a quick interruption by the neighbors’ dog, these two were pretty adept at posing for me! Except when there was a stick to chase, of course! Here are just a few of the photos:

And I also got to spend a while with their humans! :) Here’s a small peek at the spectacular light we got to shoot in…

Thanks, Katelynn & Tod! Enjoy your photos!
