The CHA Animal Shelter has two great events coming up on the same day. Saturday, July 17th starts with 11 a.m. registration for the Hogs for Dogs Poker Run and then at 4 p.m. starts the Picnic with the Pups! The Poker run has five stops over 75 miles which ends at CHA’s shelter where Picnic with the Pups is also held. The picnic includes free live music, vendors, food, shelter tours and more! It’s a great event and leashed dogs are welcomed to the picnic. For more information visit CHA’s website www.chaanimalshelter.org. I’m offering a special package in this year’s Picnic with the Pups silent auction for a session and a large wall print. I also plan on stopping out at the event, right outside Westerville, and bringing my camera along to capture some photographs of this great event! Hopefully I’ll see you there.

Next up from Terri and Graham’s dogs is a puppy! Dotty is just 14 weeks old and what a sweetheart she is. While all the other dogs were making their way from the car, Dotty just sat on my lap and enjoyed the nice summer day. Terri told me that someone had dropped Dotty off at the Westerville Police Department and they had contacted her about taking the dog to the shelter. Of course Terri and Graham fell in love with this cutie and decided to foster her until the owner was found. No one claimed her, so it looks like she has a fun, new home along with their 6 other dogs.

She's just the sweetest little puppy!

I love her eyes. And thanks to the internet I just learned that it's called heterochromia when dogs have two eyes with distinctly different colored irises.

Brittany knew as soon as we scheduled her senior photos that she wanted her backdrop to be Inniswood in Westerville. The rain held of for us at the park and we got a ton of photos. But I must admit … I was bummed, just when we got to Uptown Westerville for the second half of her session it started raining. Here’s a sneak peek of just a few from the park. More to come when Brittany and I meet up in a few days for the rest of her session!

Inniswood Metro Gardens was the location for Cathi & Danielle’s prom session. It was the perfect backdrop for their beautiful gowns. We even got a few photos of them together!
