paws for a cause rescue event {with shorty rossi}

A few weeks ago, Beth and I volunteered our photography services to an awesome rescue event Paws for a Cause, featuring Shorty Rossi (Animal Planet’s “Pitt Boss”) presented by Hardeko and Dog Daze Pet Shop. Shorty took an overnight (aka red-eye flight) to attend the event. Throngs of people lined up for hours on end to get their pictures taken with Shorty and his pittbull Hercules. All of the money collected went to charitable and educational causes for animal rescue groups. In addition to Shorty there were tons of Rescue Organizations with adoptable animals, as well as great vendors and sponsors.

Here are a few favorites from the day…

This event was not just for dogs…

Here is a slideshow with lots more images. All of the great rescue organizations, vendors and sponsors, are listed at the end.

A special thank you to the event organizers Ruth and David of Dog Daze Pet Shop in North Syracuse. xoxo, Alice and Beth

My beautiful niece Abby had her High School Senior Ball about a week ago. I can’t believe she is getting ready to graduate and go on to college. So glad Beth and I could be there to photograph some portraits of her and her friends. This is by far my favorite of the evening…

Isn’t this a great looking bunch? Loving all of the different colors the girls wore. Love you Abby, you look gorgeous!

Last night was our monthly CNY PUG (Pictage User Group) meeting for professional photographers! Unfortunately a few of our members couldn’t make it due to little life events, like oh going to have a baby any day now, dogs in surgery, sick kids, and jetting off to Florida… you know who you are :) Luckily for the rest of us, it was a super informative meeting as well as being loads of fun… oh hello Dash Riprock. We wanted to give a big GIANT THANK YOU to Kevin Kubota and the amazing PR Princess Wendi at Kubota Images for donating our fantastic door prize. The uber fab Laure Lillie was this month’s door prize winner, and the rest of us are delighted with our coupons. As you can clearly see below…

A big thank you to everyone for making those long wintery drives to be here last night! xoxo, Alice

valentines inspiration from {julia child}

Last fall I went to see the film Julie & Julia, which I thoroughly enjoyed. First off, I think Meryl Streep is the most amazing actress ever! I saw her perform in a play at UCLA a few years back. It was a very civilized audience, but I wanted to jump up and down like I was at a rock concert, because that is how I see Ms. Streep… ROCK STAR! Sorry, this really is supposed to be about Julia Child. If you are not familiar with the film, the Julia part of the title is based on the rich (and by rich I mean buttery rich) life of Julia Child, played by the aforementioned rock star actress who will go unnamed so I can stay focused. Apparently Julia and husband Paul loved Valentines Day! So much so, they made homemade Valentines Day cards to mail to all of their friends and family. I find this extremely endearing…

So if you want to have some fun next month, and send out some custom photo Valentines Day cards, you should seriously consider booking a session on Saturday January 16th as part of my new Snapshots! series…. yep the photos are going to have a Valentines Day theme. Here are a couple examples of custom photo cards that I made from my session with the oh so adorable Carrie and Andy!

Nothing says love, like heart shaped cookies…
