And I love bringing the same emotion to my clients.Betty Grable's famous pin-up photo from 1943Ī pin-up model (known as a pin-up girl for a female and less commonly male pin-up for a male) is a model whose mass-produced pictures see widespread appeal as part of popular culture. It doesn't replace him but it does remind me of the sweetness of life with a dog. That's the face of my friend, who I love and miss. An image can be a powerful thing, even after all these years since Jersey passed away - it only takes seeing his face in a portrait and that soul connection comes back. A great portrait is the image the owner holds in their mind when they think of their dog. It was from those early experiences in the studio that I realized the power of an image to illustrate the true soul of a dog - to show it not as a pet, or a possession, but with all the depth and clarity that comes from living together with a dog in a shared world.
For a photographer, having access to such a beautiful creature was a godsend, and gave rise to many impromptu sessions featuring Jersey: dog supermodel. His name was Jersey and he was a gentle soul who willingly put up with all of our crazy photo shoots. I don't think I fully appreciated this however, until 2001 when my husband and I adopted a greyhound from a local rescue in Connecticut. "Dogs have always held something special for me. In addition, all pets photographed will be entered into a national pet portrait contest with cash prizes awarded to the winning images! Those that have the best chance of winning will be the ones that are most creative, so be sure you bring your pet's favorite toy, jacket, hat, or whatever you have that makes you smile.
However, only those sight hounds photographed will be included in the pet portrait contest for our 2021 "Pin-Up Pets" Calendar. Special packages and products will be available for ordering – this information will be mailed to you with your session confirmation and donation receipt.Īll pets are welcome! You do NOT need to have a greyhound to participate.
Your $75 session fee will be donated in full to GPA-MN or NLGA. Sessions will be limited, so be sure to reserve your appointment time now. Be sure to select "Pin-Up Pets" from the service options menu. To make an appointment for your "Pin-Up Pets" portrait session, please call 95 or schedule your session online.
