I loved, loved, loved everything about this session. It was a beautiful October morning, a gorgeous husky + newfie (!!) mix, and my first experience photographing a horse (!!!). To top it off, watching Karlene (the owner of locally made Bedtime Bones) and Jeff interact with Koszi and Barley, warmed my heart.
Karlene, thank you so much for spending a Sunday morning with me. I can’t wait for you to see the rest of your photos–they are some that will stick with me for a very long time.
Rooney was the winner of the Paws on Grand photo contest back in August. His photo won the hearts of everyone who helped “judge” the contest, and when we met up for his photo session, his personality won me over once again. One of Rooney’s photos (not shown here) will grace a page in The Pet Project’s upcoming 2012 calendar. I am so excited to have this little guy in the calendar, but not nearly as excited and proud as his people are! I have a feeling there may be a few calendars under the Christmas tree this year.
Sommer, Tim, and Rooney, thank you so much for your participating in our contest. I had an amazing Saturday morning with the three of you–I do believe my cheeks were hurting a little from all the giggles!
P.S. Have you ever seen such adorable puppy legs?!?

I wish I could say that the more experienced I become running contests, the easier it gets to pick a winner. I’ve run photo contests and share-your-story contests, and let me tell you, there’s never a clear cut winner. In fact, there are typically a number of people (and pups) from each contest that I want to give everything away to, but, uhhh…a good business plan, that does not make.
Over the last week and a half I’ve been agonizing over which Paws on Grand attendee should get their adoreable mug in homes across the Twin Cities. Big dog or little dog? The spunky dog or the lazy mutt?? Let me tell ya, this job is fun, but it ain’t easy.
Finally, I rallied the troops (meaning I sent texts and emails out asking for more opinions), and the winner has been decided…
Congratulations to Rooney! The winner of a free photo shoot and a spot in The Pet Project‘s 2012 calendar!!
And lest you think I’m making up all of this “tough decision” business, here are a few more photos from the contest. If you’d like to see all of the competion, hop over here.
