Update on Guide Dog Emilee

posted in general

Back in 2011 I received the sweetest letter from Southeastern Guide Dogs informing me that they had named a puppy after me. Little Emilee is a black Labrador (my favorite, of course). SEGD sent me photos of Emilee as she grew up, and just last week I got a call that she had been placed in her new home. Emilee was chosen for the Canine Connections program, which places dogs with children ages 10-17 to prepare the kids for the responsibility and privilege of one day having their own guide dog. It’s a fantastic program, and I’m so happy that Emilee gets to be a part of it!

Click here to ready all about Emilee’s new role in young Meagan’s life. It is heartwarming to hear that this puppy has grown into the perfect loyal companion for a visually impaired child. These two will forge a bond that Meagan will treasure for the rest of her life. Best wishes to you both!

Lily | southwest Florida dog photography

posted in pets

When I put out a casting call on Facebook for giant puppies and Lily the Great Dane popped into my inbox, I knew I could not say no. I was hoping to photograph some really young puppies, but Lily was too hard to resist! She’s only five months old but is already 70+ pounds and eats 7 cups of food a day. Wow! She is going to be one big girl once she grows into her ginormous ears and speckled paws. Lily was a bit wary about being photographed at first, but her mom and I won her over with yummy treats and she was modeling like a pro in no time. It also helped her confidence to have her brother Otis with her, who is a guide-dog-in-progress from Southeastern Guide Dogs. It was so much fun to watch the two of them play together. I’m used to watching two Bostons tear around the house, not two big dogs. It was so entertaining!

I adore Lily and am thrilled to have her in my portfolio. Thanks so much for bringing her down, Katie! :)

Kathryn - What a beautiful dog! You did an excellent job photographing her, and I especially like the dark background!

Alice G Patterson - Especially love the images on the black backdrop… so beautiful!

Mary - These are adorable, Emily! I love the one where she’s got her head on the floor, looking tuckered out.
Wanted to ask– how’s film coming? I loved reading about your first foray, and I’d love to know if you’ve been doing any more with it!
