Paying it Forward....

As most of you know, I was deeply moved by the amazing group of dogs and volunteers I met through Greyhound Rescue and Rehabilitation of Cross River, NY. I have decided to run a SPECIAL, specifically for people who have adopted an ex-racing Greyhound. If you simply "book" a session (it can be for a later date) between now, and the end of February, 2010, I will take 25% off of your total purchase, and, will donate that 25% to Greyhound Rescue & Rehab, on your behalf.

The Art of Greyhound Rescue....

This past weekend I had the privilege of documenting the process of taking ex-racing Greyhounds into a Rescue by NY Greyhound Rescue and Rehab. The Raynham/Taunton, Mass., greyhound track closed down on January 1st, 2010. These 6 beautiful souls, ranging in age from 3 to 5 years old... went through a major right of passage last Saturday, where their old life on the track came to an end, and a new journey began... I felt honored to bear witness to this... cleansing ritual of sorts... or, that's at least where I chose to put my focus for the sake of this album, as it seemed totally appropriate. Oh.... and BTW, there is a chance that some of these pics might be shown on a major news channel!

Trudy!!!

One look at this girl, and you can see she has had a challenging past.... but.... her positive attitude and great sense of humor are a testament to the amazing, forgiving and kind nature of Pit Bulls. This is one great girl, and she definitely should have the BEST. If you think you might have what she deserves, please fill out an application for her here:

Autumn Aussies!

Meet Rescue and Bandit, two super smart, adorable, siblings. It was a beautiful fall afternoon and these two were such a pleasure to work with! We did a little sun chasing, but found some great spots down a long trail and along the river. Enjoy ~

Gorgeous Golden Autumn!

Tia and I had such a good time photographing Emma and her Momma this past weekend. The Fall colors in NY were just amazing, and really compliment these two well! Emma is just the absolute sweetest girl... really... so laid back and happy, it was such a pleasure! Remember to double click on the images to see them full sized.
