Heart of Minnesota Fundraiser - Holiday Pet Portraits

This is our second year offering pet portraits and donating the session fees to the Heart of Minnesota Animal Shelter. Last year was so much fun and I enjoyed meeting so many new people and pets.

Yesterday started out the first day of sessions and again had a great time. People often think it's a lot of work for me when doing these sessions, but actually it's pretty relaxing for me. Since we're dealing with animals in new surroundings, I actually have the pet's owner be the "pet wrangler" since the pets are obviously going to be more comfortable with their owner handling them. So my job is pretty simple ... I just sit on the floor and wait. : )

There are still a few sessions left for 10/30, 11/01 and 11/02.

The session fee is $36.00 and you receive a 4 x6. Any additional pets or people would be an extra $10.00 per subject.

Call me at 952-913-7677 to schedule a session!

Dan Thaemert benefit

Not long ago I was asked to donate to an upcoming benefit being held for a man who survived a crash when all odds were against him. His story is truly amazing and no doubt a miracle. There’s just no other way to describe it.
You can read more on his website.

The benefit is 10/24 and his family and friends have certainly outdone themselves with the benefit to make it something for all ages to enjoy. Here’s a quick rundown of the event taken from the website:


INVITATION!!! INVITATION!!! INVITATION!!!
