Each month I pack up my studio and drive over to our local animal shelter, the Humane Society of Marathon County, to photograph as many animals as I can. It’s always lots of dogs, and even more cats, but sometimes we’ll photograph guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, bunnies, chinchillas, and I’ve even photographed a parakeet. This month, December of 2019, was a lot of dogs and cats! I’ve been thinking of doing an all black and white gallery for sometime. We update the animals headshots every month, and I really wanted to create something that caught people’s eye. The more attention we can put on these deserving animals, the better chance they will have of getting adopted! Below is a sample of December’s portraits, which is posted on our facebook page (and as of now, has been shared 944 times!). At the end of the post is a link to the whole gallery, and I hope you will take a look and give a share! Let’s spread the word and give the animals in shelters all over a chance of receiving a home to call their own!
