Austin Pet Photography | the life of... week 1

I've been inspired.  And I think it's safe to say that when I'm inspired, I feel the need to take action.  I've recently become friends with an amazingly talented wedding photographer in South Carolina.  After talking with her, she inspired me to take on a personal project.  She does this as well.  She photographs her two pups each week.  I thought this would be a really fun way to challenge myself and grow as a photographer.  So, I give you Winston and Zona.  PS -  their adoptions stories are below their photo.  And make sure you check out Britt Croft Photography, she's has some amazing pet photos!

Winston was adopted in Arizona about 5 years ago.  He is originally from Lebanon where his shelter was bombed.  He was picked up by an American soldier as he was found wandering the streets.  From there, he went to France where we was vaccinated, and then sent to the US for adoption.  That's where I fell in love.  He is the sweetest most lovable boy in the world!  I think our neighbor just got a puppy who was crying, which is why he has the focused/confused look.  He was trying to figure out what that noise was!

This sweet baby girl is Zona.  She was rescued about a year ago in Austin.  Her past is a little unknown.  We do know that she was used as a breeder once upon a time.  The vet seems to think she has had several litters in her 5 years and has hip dysplasia (which is likely why her breeder didn't want her anymore).  When we rescued her, we got her spayed and promised her that she would never have to breed again.  She spends most of her time playing with her big brother Winston and snoring sleeping.  This photo was taken right before her nap...hence the super annoyed look on her face!
