RIACC Open House 2013 hosted by QC Paws Pics with Santa

Saturday, December 7th, 2013 brought out all the Reindogs to the Rock Island Animal Care and Control Center's Open House that was hosted by QC Paws. With a constant flow of dogs and pets, I was constantly busy photographing all the dogs with our fabulous Santa Claus. There were also games for the kids and wonderful gift baskets that were raffled off along with lots and lots of treats and cookies.

I am also happy to say that today there were 3 dogs and 16 cats adopted. RIACC is still looking to fill its very large stocking with donations for things the shelter needs. Feel free to call the shelter at 309-558-DOGS (3647) and drop off your donations at 4001 78th Ave, Moline, IL 60125.


To see the entire photo shoot, feel free to view my photo gallery.

NEW Hanukkah Dog Design Added to My Holiday Gifts and Cards

One thing that was brought to my attention last year was the lack of Hanukkah designs available using a dog theme. It was my mission to come up with a fun holiday design using lovable dogs to help celebrate the festivities. Using the Star of David to center the design, I was able to fit my dog portraits into it. To add a little fun, I placed a matching Yamaka on each of the dogs. This whimsical holiday design will be sure to delight your friends and family as well as other animal lovers.



This happens to be Reagan a Vizsla, that I photographed at Teagarden Pet Salon after her grooming.

So many new products have been added to Zazzle, such as these leggings:



And all kinds of watches: ... this is only one style:


And of course, our whole selection of Holiday Greeting Cards.



Here is a complete list of Hanukkah Dog Breeds available. If you don't see your favorite dog breed, just contact me and I will see what I can do to add it to the collection. I also may be able to put your own pet into my design. Contact me for details.

There is also a version that you can upload your own photo into.

Mia - a Bichon Frise 2014 calendar

I was lucky enough to meet Mia in 2012. Mia, an adorable Bichon Frise with her extensive wardrobe became my most photographed model. Each time I got a new background or Mia got a new outfit, her wonderful owner Lynne, made it a point to get together with me for a photo session. With the variety of poses and a little creative photoshop, I put a calendar of Mia together.




This calendar is available within my Zazzle shop.

With an undeniable fantastic wardrobe, Mia, a very fashionable Bichon Frise poses for every month of the Calendar year. Mia rings in the New Year in disco style followed by posing on a lip shaped sofa for Valentine's Day. She finds herself under the rainbow and next to a pot of Gold for St Patrick's Day. Easter finds Mia in her best frock surrounded by decorated eggs. May's flowers entice Mia to sunbath on her pink blanket. June is picnic time with Watermelon and picnic ants. July sees the Patriotic side of Mia dressed in Red, White, and Blue. Dressed in her bikini, Mia catches the last of the summer's sunshine under the palm trees and next to the ocean's waves. September she shows her team's colors. Surrounded by scary pumpkins, Mia is costumed in her very cute Lady Bug outfit. Who doesn't love the sock monkey? Mia LOVES her sock monkey bed and shows it off in November. December, Mia is waiting for Santa drenched in red feathers. Spend the year with Mia, and spread the Bichon LOVE!


Please contact me if you would like your pet to be photographed by me, or to have a custom design created for you.

Halloween Westie Dressed as Little Red Riding Hood

When Lady's owners brought her into Teagarden Pet Salon today, they remembered that I had photographed Lady last Christmas. So, they brought Lady's Halloween Little Red Riding Hood costume, and asked if I could photograph her again. I was happy to do so and when I got into my digital darkroom, I couldn't resist placing her into a very spooky forest. I think you'll agree that this Westie should be on the lookout for the Big Bad Wolf.



There are many spooky items in my Zazzle store with this image.
From Pillows

To Plates


To Clocks


To Cards, Postage Stamps and Envelopes

New Hanukkah Backdrop for Dog Portraits

In anticipation of the upcoming holiday season, I created a Backdrop for Hanukkah. In the past, I've had many backdrops for Christmas and realized I was disappointing those of the Jewish faith. I was not about to let the happen this year. Using the Star of David, I created this backdrop to photograph those pets. Again this design sits low to the ground taking into consideration the height of dogs.

I will have this backdrop at Teagarden Pet Salon available for your pet's portrait session. An appointment can be made by calling Teagarden or myself.




For those of you that might be pet photographers and would like to have a backdrop like this, you can find this and my others in my Etsy shop. Keep in mind that the perspective I create my designs in, are great for kids too!
