Herbie is this month's Feature Dog!

I've already put Herbie up on this blog before so to see pics and learn more, please click here and here

I'm really amazed Herbine hasn't been adopted yet, as though I don't like to play favorites, he's truly one of the coolest dogs there! Won't you consider giving this dog who's had a tough start in life the home he deserves? If you think he might be your future "soul dog," please fill out an application.

3rd Annual Dog Walk - Mickey's Mile!!!

Saturday, May 30th, 2009, will mark the 3rd Annual Dog Walk for Canine Cancer Research! I was so moved when I was approached by Camille to be the official Photographer for this event this year. It's truly the animals, and people who care for them the way Camille does that makes my work so amazing. I feel blessed beyond words.

Camille lost her dog Mickey to a rare form of Canine Cancer a few years ago. We all know how devastating that can be... Camille took her sorrow and channeled that energy into an amazing event that raises much needed funds for Canine Cancer Research in his memory. The money she raises is donated to the Purdue Foundation at Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine for canine cancer research.

The event will be a lot of fun - I hope that many of you will bring your dogs and walk with us for a cure that day! For more information, please visit their website !

Greener Photography & Giving Back

A couple of weeks ago I became a member of a non-profit organization called Greener Photography. I was thrilled to find this org, as my husband and I are both huge advocates for the environment and work hard to incorporate sustainable practices into all aspects of our lives.

After joining Greener photography, I found a photographer, Lin Photographer from the West Coast listed as a pet photographer. I was so impressed with the work she does for shelters, and her emphasis on giving back, that I am going to follow her lead and will be doing the same for shelters in my area, as I truly believe you can't give enough to homeless animals! Thank you Lin Photography!

I added a new section to my site entitled Giving Back, which can be found in the Details section.

Giving Back to the Environment...

I have been influenced greatly by my mother, Noriko Yamamoto Prince. She is Japanese, and an artist as well. She and my grandfather taught me the most about respecting Nature and animals and truly understanding the fact that everything~is~connected and that all of the most important lessons we have to learn are found in Nature.

I always consider the consequences of my actions on the environment, and naturally, this includes my daily workflow. I seek out paper with a high post consumer recycled content whenever possible. When choosing vendors, I consider the sustainability of their business practices and whenever possible, I work with people from within my local community. I am careful not to create excessive waste, and work hard to close the loop wherever possible by consuming less, and recycling more.

Giving Back to the Animal Community!

It has always been important to me that whatever I do helps to make the world a better place. I donate my time and services to Animal Farm Foundation, Ulster County SPCA, the Good Dog Foundation and Safe Haven Animal Farm. I photograph their dogs, horses, chickens, goats, sheep, ETC., and have donated my services for their fundraisers.

If you adopt a pet from Animal Farm or UCSPCA and then book a photo session with me, I in turn, will donate 10% of your complete order back to that shelter. I strongly believe in helping out the local animal community and always, giving back.

Giving Back to others who are doing the same... Attention Rescue Groups!

My business was born from the volunteer work I did for the Animal Farm Foundation. If you run a rescue and feel professional photos of your animals would help them to find homes, or you with your mission, please contact me at princeli@optonline.net and I’ll see what I can do to help. The least I can do is provide a free photo session and some high resolution digital images for you to use for your promotional materials and website.

First Hard Cover Photo Book...

Here is my first Coffee Table Book, made in Aperture from a session I had with Asa, Magnus & Gianna back in September, 2008 on Magnus and Gianna's 5 month birthday. I kept going back and forth between a white background, and black... and two slightly different styles, they are both hard covers. I decided to go with a black cover, and white for the background in the books, so as not to take away from the photographs. I also think it looks crisp this way. Enjoy...
