Season's Greetings

Pictures with Santa - Toledo Pet Photographer

Join the Golden Retriever Rescue Resource (GRRR) and Lorenzen Studios this holiday season to have your photo taken with Santa in his sleigh in a natural outdoor setting. 
 

We have scheduled three dates and locations for this exciting holiday event. Please click on the flyer below to view the details on the dates, locations, and photo packages.

This will be my second year volunteering with GRRR for the Santa photos. It's a fun event for families to include the family pet in their holiday photos.  And the fact that the photos are taken outside in a real sleigh makes it special. The kids enjoy cookies and hot chocolate while they wait for their turn to meet Santa. Last year we had many families with a variety of pets. We even had a photo with a dog, a cat, and a ferret! So be sure to mark your calendar for this special holiday event!

All proceeds from this event will benefit GRRR.  GRRR is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit charitable organization serving the Toledo Ohio area, including all of Northwest Ohio, northeast Indiana and lower Michigan. GRRR is known for taking on sick and abused animals, rehabilitating them, and helping them find loving homes. Please support GRRR and have your photo taken at this fun holiday event.

Fall Family Photos - Toledo Family Portrait Photography

This is one from my recent session with some of my favorite clients. This family has hired me to photograph their family five times! It was such an honor to come to their home and see photographs I took hanging on their walls.


 

See more from their past sessions here, here, here, and here. I'll be posting more from this session soon!

Foster Dog Cricket - Toledo Pet Photographer

Meet Cricket. She is my new foster dog from the Golden Retriever Rescue Resource (GRRR).

 

Cricket is a 5 1/2 year old Golden Retriever/Lab/Greyhound mix that was surrendered to the rescue because her family fell on hard times. She is a sweet and loving girl. She is well behaved, housebroken, and gets along with other dogs. She is available for adoption through GRRR. For more information on Cricket click here.



Cricket is ready to "hop" right into her forever home.

Baby Brayden - Toledo Newborn Photographer

This one is from my recent session with baby Brayden. Little Brayden had a rough start to life and was faced with many health problems. But I'm happy to say he is now home and doing well! He is 6 weeks in this photo. Such a sweet little peanut!

Babies and Bullies Calendar Project - Toledo Pet Photographer

Recently I have been working on a photo calendar project for Toledo's PET Bull Project (TPBP).  The organization contacted me and asked me to help out, and I agreed to volunteer my time and talent to take photographs to be used in the Babies and Bullies calendar they will soon be selling to raise funds for TPBP. The goal of the calendar project is to photograph babies and young children with Pit Bulls and other Bull-type dogs to illustrate that these dogs are gentle and are capable of being trusted with children.

Toledo's PET Bull Project is a 501C3 nonprofit organization that is committed to prevent animal cruelty and dog fighting, educate pet owners on the importance of spay and neuter, and to train pets and people in our community to become good advocates for their breed. TPBP is not a rescue; however they work with local animal rescue groups whenever necessary. They offer Pet Safety classes, Humane Education classes, Free Park Trainings, and Pawsitive Youth Training classes.

All the proceeds from the calendar sales will benefit TPBP. Once the calendars printed and ready for sale I will post the information on how to get your hands on one. So check back soon!

Baby Girl Eliana - Toledo Newborn Photography

I recently had the pleasure to take some newborn photos of this sweet baby girl. She was a bit fussy and wanted to be held at first, but once she had a fully belly I was able to get some wonderful photos of her.

How do you like my new "nest" prop?

 

I love it!

 

Check back, because I'll be adding more soon!

Dakota the Foster Dog - Toledo Pet Photographer

This sweet girl is my foster dog, Dakota. She is one of the dogs from the Golden Retriever Rescue Resource (GRRR). Isn't she beautiful? This poor girl has lived outside most of her adult life. At the age of six she was surrendered by her owner because she was going off to college and the family could not care for her. The good news is that after spending a few months in foster care, Dakota is being placed in her forever home today!

There are so many wonderful dogs in the rescue that are still in of need homes. Please visit GRRR's website if you are considering adopting a dog.
