Dallas Photog Shootout - Paw Prints Photography

On Friday, I attended the Dallas Photog Shootout for some fun & learning. It was held at The Ryan Manor which was a gorgeous location! We had a great time photographing the different models, decked out in some fab vintage clothes.








I ran into the property owner's dog as I was wandering from one shooting spot to another, and of course I had to take some photos of him. What a cutie!

Let me out!

And finally, fellow photogs Brandy & Brandon at work:


After the Shootout, we all went to dinner at Breadwinners. Yum! It was a great day! I learned a lot of useful things and met some really cool photographers.

Pets Are Inn - Plano, Far North Dallas, Richardson, Allen

I had a meeting today with Al and Donna of the Plano Pets Are Inn franchise. They offer a really incredible version of pet sitting that is affordable and, unlike traditional pet boarding, cage-free.

Pets Are Inn carefully matches your pet with one of their pre-approved host families, who will open their home and care for your pet while you are away. The host family follows your provided feeding & exercises schedules, along with any medication needs, so that your pet is comfortable in their home-away-from-home. Pets receive all the love and attention they need without the stress of being put in a kennel. How great is that?!

Al and Donna have been in business since 1994, so they are experts at putting your pet with the right host family. They serve the Plano, Far North Dallas, Richardson, and Allen areas.

My friend Jessica, better known as Dr. V., writes a fantastic blog over at Pawcurious.com. She has been a veterinarian since 2002, and along with that comes some of the funniest, saddest, sweetest, and "oh no they didn't!" posts I have ever read. Anyone who is an animal lover should go read her blog. It is filled with all kinds of cool stuff.
