Sometimes when I'm out and about photographing dogs, I get the opportunity to shoot some feathered friends as well! These are three of my favorite non-dog photos from the past week!

Onto the final day of the City Sniffers NASDA Howl-o-Ween trial!

Just a quick reminder, as much as I wish I could work on photos all day every day, for those of you who don't know, I do have a day job, a family, and other obligations that may slow down my turnaround time. Submitting a gallery request will always be the quickest way to get your photos, and I try to get gallery requests up within 48 hours of receiving the request. This is not always possible, however.

If you do not submit a request, your photos will not be given priority, and instead will be done after all of the requests, and then in alphabetical order by dog's name. To submit a gallery request for Happy Ratters, NASDA, or any other event, you can do so, here:

Had an amazing first day at the NASDA Howl-o-Ween trial! I think my favorite thing to see today was brace trailing, and this is probably a contender for my favorite photo of the day! These two were so cool to watch, despite initially stressing me out with their antics 🤣🤣

In case you missed it, I will be photographing the NASDA trial this coming weekend! I know several of you are bummed that I won't be at the Peoria agility trial, but an opportunity arose for my junior handler to play NASDA, and I couldn't deny her this fantastic opportunity.

I hope to catch all of my agility friends next month in Springfield at the Thanksgiving trial! Thank you all for understanding ❤️

Edit: I now only have Saturday available!

I have limited portrait sessions available this weekend, immediately following the Happy Ratters trial! Sessions will take place at the Washington Park Botanical Garden. I currently have Saturday available for a portrait session. Been thinking about booking? This is a great way to avoid having to pay a travel fee! Sessions are $200 and include three print quality digital images of your choice.

Last weekend after my photo sessions in Saint Louis I noticed Veg Fest was happening right on the other side of the pavillion! I got to meet these adorable babies while there; first time photographing rabbits OR a chicken!

If you're looking for a new furry or feathery friend, check out House Rabbit Rescue of Missouri: St. Louis and Second-Hen'd!

See my earlier post as well about Center for Animal Rescue and Enrichment of St. Louis - CARE STL and their awesome adoptable pets!

Sneak peeks for Carly and Elisha! Thank you so much for being a part of my Saint Louis portrait sessions!
