Joggy Doggy

Bentley at the water. Elana and Dan were tossing a ball back and forth for him. He's a beautiful, calm golden retriever. He waited easily until pack leader Elana told him it was okay to go in the water. Amazing.



A bouncy dog, wet fur flying.


And back legs churning! Must - get - the ball!

But wait -- a lemur? Slow shutter speed is fun.

Sweet twins

Thank you, Elizabeth and John, for bringing your sweet, sweet 5-month-old twins in for photos! And for paying me a beautiful compliment: "You really did it - you captured so many different aspects of their personalities, it is amazing." I loved it - let's do it again soon!

5/9 Mother's Day photo shoots comin' up

Just a quick shout about the Mother's Day fundraiser photo shoots coming up soon.

On Saturday 5/9, I'm charging $150 per shoot (wicked discounted) at the Lowell studio as a fundraiser for the Friends of Western Avenue Studios, who are raising money to buy the Western Avenue Studios building so that artists can always do their artwork there at way-below-market rents.

Was that a run-on sentence?

Anyway, there are some spots left to fill. The session go for a half-hour for up to 5 people (or pets!), and in that time we do a really fun, intensive photo shoot, then you get to look at the photos and choose which ones you want to take home.

Here's the postcard, for which I thank Suzi and Dashiell - they were extra-cute that day:


Email me for an appointment and I'll get you set up. Ask me about clothing choices too if you wanna.

Stories from the Shelter

Stories from the Shelter is a benefit event for the Lowell Humane Society that's coming up at the studios. It's on Friday evening May 15th from 6-9pm. I'll be showing a bunch of images of 9 of the shelter cats, plus a rabbit named Sadie. Here's a sneak peek:

From the postcard:
"The artists at Western Avenue Studios have partnered with the Lowell Humane Society to create an exhibit inspired by the animals, volunteers and staff at the Shelter. We invite you to join us at a benefit for the Lowell Humane Society as we unveil the results of this collaboration."

Tickets are $20 and 100% of ticket sales go directly to the shelter. You can call the Society at 978-452-7781 for tickets. I think they'll be available at the door too.

The benefit will be held at Western Avenue Studios, 2nd Floor of the A-Mill, 122 Western Ave., Lowell MA 01851. Directions are at www.westernavenuestudios.com

Here's the front of the postcard, with images by Adrien Bisson (the people and the ferret) and me (the 2 sets of cat eyes and the puffy tail).
