Have you seen the new edition of Pet Pages?  The covers feature a couple of my super star clients, Player (on the left) and Nash (on the right).

As many of you know, I have a huge soft spot for shelter pets.  So when Sarasota Magazine hired me to photograph a story they were working on for Sarasota Sheriff's Office Animal Services, it could not have been a more perfect match.

On the day I went out to Animal Services to take photographs, I met Robert Plunket, the author of the article.  It was the first time I had been out there and I was able to tour the entire facility.  I spent time with a few of the employees and volunteers, as well as, some of their fur babies up for adoption. 

The article is currently running in the March issue. I highly recommend picking up a copy. You can also read the online version HERE.  I hope it will help shed some much needed light to the many animals in need of our help. 

Below are a few of my favorites that didn't make the article. You can see all of the animals the shelter has up for adoption HERE.  If you are looking for that new family member please keep Sarasota Animal Services on your list of places to look.

Are you familiar with THE NEW BARKER magazine?  It is a Florida pet magazine based out of Tampa.  Absolutely a must have on your subscription list.  Every issue features an artist's work on the cover and and is full of wonderful articles and pet information from all over the state of Florida.  This past spring I started to do some freelance work for them and it has been awesome.  It takes me right back to my press work days, but the beauty is, I actually get cover events I really enjoy.  A win win for sure.

In the current issue, I covered a couple events, one being a flyball tournament in Bradenton.  Flyball is a relay race with dogs, hurdles, and balls.  A lot of high energy and noise. Kind of like a game of fetch on steroids.  It was the first time I had ever been to one and I really didn't know what to expect.  I had a blast.  I have never seen such teamwork  and focus between a pack of dogs and their handlers.  All of the dogs seemed to love it as much, if not more, than the handlers.  So if you are looking for a great read, you can find THE NEW BARKER locally in Sarasota, at Media on Main and at Wet Noses on St. Armands Circle.
