Something New: Ann Kearns Pet Photography!

Posted in Ann Kearns Pet Photography

Oh my gawsh! I’ve been so busy getting the new blog and the new website ready, that I completely forgot to make the official announcement here! If you have been following this blog for awhile now, you will know that in addition to photographing babies and bellies I also really, really love photographing pets. It seemed that every time I went to someone’s house to do a baby shoot…if there were any pets around…I was on the floor photographing them, too! It just makes sense, considering my background in veterinary technology. I love animals and animal-related causes are very special to me. So, it occurred to me that maybe I could volunteer my time as a photographer at our local animal shelter. I started doing that last fall and I have loved every minute of it. And, while I have in the past had “Pets” as a segment of my “Pea Tree Photography” portfolio the Pet-People kept asking me, “Why Pea Tree“?? I guess it makes more sense for the maternity pictures (Peas in the Pod) and the baby portraits (Sweet Peas)…but it’s just not as suited to the animals.

Soooo…

I’ve been working away on the new Pet Photography website and blog and they are both now ready!

Yay!

I’m very excited and I hope that you will come check it out RIGHT HERE.

I will continue to blog here, but from now on this blog (and website) will just be devoted to all the sweet babies and big, beautiful bellies (unless of course there is a pet at home…then, maybe, I’ll get to sneek in a photo or two of them! I mean, they like to be babied, too, right?).

To keep up with all the dogs, cats, rabbits, “Shelter Buddies”, and general furriness I hope you’ll head over to Ann Kearns Photography often. You can also become a “Fan” on FACEBOOK and get all the updates as they happen. Once we reach 100 fans, there’s gonna’ be a super-cool giveway, too! I hope to see you there.

And…

a super big Thank-You to all my great friends (both two-legged and four) for all your kind words and wonderful support as I worked on launching this new venture. You guys know who you are…and you ROCK!

Pet Photo Challenge: A Perfect Time to Share Something New!

Posted in Bunnies, Challenges

The photo challenge this week over at I Heart Faces is “pets” — always my very favourite challenge. That’s because pets are my very favourite thing to photograph. And, you know all those “exciting changes coming up” comments I’ve been making…well…I didn’t want to let the cat out of the bag quite yet, but with this photo challenge, I couldn’t help myself!! So…ya…take a look at the new logo, folks. That’s probably a pretty gigantic clue as to what is coming up in the new year.

For more adorable pet photos, or just to go learn a bit about one of my photography idols, Erin Vey (how cool is it that she is guest judge!?!), head on over to I Heart Faces.

Thanks for visiting.

UPDATE: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeee!!

I just found out that I placed in the top 10 for the Pet Photo challenge at I Heart Faces!

Out of more than 600 wonderful pet portraits, Erin Vey picked mine for 4th place!

(I heart you, Erin Vey! Not just for picking my photo, either. I love your work! I think I first “discovered” you at “Blu” and, man, I’m in awe of your pet portraits. I love your sweet Gracie and the adorable bond that is already there between her and Miss Maggie, and I really, really, appreciate your whole style of pet photography that showcases the joy that pets bring into our lives. Eeee! This is such a thrill for me! You have no idea!)

I’ll stop gushing now.

But.

EEEEeeeee!!

Thanks I Heart Faces and thanks Erin!

Pea Tree Photography {Christmas Kitties and a Holiday Hound}: Hamilton Burlington SPCA Adoptables

Posted in Cats, Phodography, Shelter Pet Profiles

On my last visit to the Hamilton Burlington SPCA it was pouring rain. I wondered how we were going to do our photo shoot, since we usually head outside to capture all the dogs. But, the SPCA has gotten right into the spirit of Christmas complete with a fully decorated and twinkling tree, and beautifully festive poinsettias (remember pups and kitties, poinsettias are for looking at…not touching…and not eating!). So, there was no problem! We were able to set up a little mini-studio session right there in the auditorium. You should really head on over to the SPCA and check it out. It’s so pretty there right now! Oh, and, you know, maybe you can adopt one of these gorgeous cats while you are there!

Or maybe this beautiful dog.

This is Diggety. She really, really, wants a home for Christmas. And, she’s been waiting for awhile now (see…this is her HERE, too). I have to mention that I saw her being walked by a volunteer when I was leaving the SPCA and she is SO good on her leash. A really sweet dog.

You have just got to fall in love with that face.

Good luck, Diggety. And good luck to all the other shelter pets. I hope you all get your Christmas wishes.
