I wanted to share my interview that Erin Donovan did with me on Monday. Its all about aRt doGraphi coming up this weekend! If you haven’t made your appointment, make sure to do so ASAP. Saturday is almost booked and there are a couple Sunday afternoon appointments left.
There is a change in what to bring for the donation. When the fundraiser idea started, Young Williams was desperate for food pantry food. They needed smaller bags to hand out to to the community. Thanks to a huge response from generous people, their food pantry is now full. They have requested that people donate Science Diet instead as that is what they feed their shelter dogs.
So, instead of 2 10lb bags, please bring a 20lb bag of Science diet and if you have multiple dogs, add in some science diet cat food(they have smaller bags) or something like that!
Coming next weekend, March 13th and 14th at Julie Poole Photography In lieu of a creative fee, bring a 20lb bag of Science Diet for Young Williams Animal Center
Come help Young-Williams feed their residents AND get some totally awesome photos All pets and people welcome. If you have multiple pets, please bring extra food for extra time.
To schedule your time, contact Julie Poole at Julie@JuliePoole.com or 603-1215 held at the studio at 7529 Northshore Drive, in the Rocky Hill Shopping Center next door to Dominos Pizza
Be sure to tune in and watch Live at Five at Four with my interview with Erin Donovan. She will show an actual session and we talk about aRt doGraphi!!
My favorite greyhounds! (and Kai) This is the first time I have had the good fortune to photograph all 5 of Brooke’s kids. It has always been just the greyhounds. As always, they were lots of fun and super photogenic.
The Rose’s adopted their dogs from Young-Williams Animal Center and contacted me to ask about their baby photos(I had done the photos for their adoption) Of course I suggested bringing them in for some updated ones Very fun photogenic dogs!
This was so much fun and really pretty funny too. Nothing like a 6month old dobe puppy, a 2 year old, a 3 year old and their older brother There were so many great photos from this session, I have really restrained myself below. Watch the video, it has them all in there
The Kunkewitz’s brought in their cat Stubby for the Portraits with Hope fundraiser. This was one cool cat! He loved *olives*. It was hilarious! I have never seen a kitty eat olives before We almost weren’t able to do the session due to the snow, but, we made it and even took Stubby outside for photos in the snow, how neat is that???
Well, the move and remodel is almost complete. Have to hand it to my husband, he did what it would take 4 men to do in the short amount of time he did it in! (<—-nice sentence structure) The gallery and entry areas are ready. I need more portraits on the walls, but, minor things… The paint is beautiful. Very Tuscan and warm. The carpets are cleaned. The shooting room had a wall taken down, and flooring replaced(yes, Larry did that all himself) He has figured out how to put the backdrop system up on a wall that has no supports. My paper rolls are hung and I am going to have two natural light shooting areas. The viewing room is almost done. Projector mounted, screen is up, table and chairs ready! Just have to hang(and buy more) portraits.
Ed White, Volunteer of the year for The Hope Center and I were on STAR 102.1, HOT 104.5 and Q93…8am on WKTI AM talking about The Hope Center and the Portraits with Hope fundraiser. I will add the podcast as soon as I receive the CD!
Here are the remodel before and afters…
(ok, this is a in progress photo that shows the lack of wall and new floor)
Adding in Viewing room photos! Still need to finish one wall of portraits, but, it’ll get there
Outside at night
Day photo(not mine and no one had run into the wall yet. )
I rarely get a call where someone says “My dogs are perfect”. I really like those calls True to her word, Roxie, Noel and Jazzy were perfect. Roxie was a little less thrilled about the whole thing and you could almost here her saying “Really? You want me to smile? Really.” Noel, who is blind(but you would never know it) might as well have been a supermodel. She vogued for the camera the whole time. Makes my job easy! Jazzy is just a redheaded bombshell with those long luxurious ears. How could she miss?
A bonus to the session, school was out so, Emily and Austin got to come too! A full family session. Now, don’t tell Dad about this, because this is his Valentine’s day gift!
Believe it or not, Slurpy is about to be 17 yeas old! Yes, 17. I hope I look that good if I reach the dog age equivalent of 119 years old! Pixie is his very delicate sister dog. She was such a good little lady.
