Photo Event at Community Bark

Mark your calendars! I will be at the Community Bark Coffee Bar and Dog Wash "Grand Opening" event this Friday (May 14th) from 3pm to 6pm doing portraits to benefit the Wisconsin Humane Society. With a minimum donation of $15 you can get a photo of your pet and a 5x7 to be picked up at Community Bark a couple weeks after the event. I will also provide a certificate equal to your donation that can be put toward a custom pet photography session with All Ears Pet Photography at a later date. Community Bark is a GREAT coffee bar / dog wash in Bayside (map it). The event will feature an adoption fair with the Wisconsin Humane Society and local rescues, a microchip clinic, therapy dog screenings, fun dog contests, grooming demonstrations, "Ask the Trainer" with Jen Digate, events for kids and much more. Community Bark will also be announcing a new program to benefit rescue and foster dogs in Wisconsin! On the drink side, there will be the launch of the new Community Bark coffee blend, a delicious Rishi tea tasting, and an exciting Free Coffee FRIDAY on May 14!

Barks at St. Mark's

I had the opportunity to attend a pet blessing and outdoor service at St. Mark's in South Milwaukee on June, 14th. The weather was amazing and I got to meet some great people (and dogs). I would imagine all the dogs that took part in the blessing are now perfect angels and ALWAYS on their best behavor... right? Thanks to St. Mark's for the invitation. I'm looking forward to next year. All the pictures can be seen and purchased here.

Pug Fest 2009 Photos

Sunday, May 17th was a celebration of all things pug. I had the opportunity to photograph at the 2009 Milwaukee Pug Fest. The day featured a parade of rescues and a pug costume contest among many other great events. I got to meet some great pug owners and shoot some photos. What could be better? In my opinion the organization put on a great event that seemed really well attended.  And, since the event supports pug rescue, that was great to see. Check out some of my photos below.

You can also follow All Ears Pet Photography on Facebook.

These photos can also be seen now on my photo site and soon on the Milwaukee Pug Fest website.

Milwaukee Pug Fest - May 17th, 2009

Recently I connected with some of the organizers of Milwaukee's Pug Fest and as a way of helping out this great organization I have offered to help photograph the event. Pug Fest will be on May 17th at the Milwaukee County Sports Complex. The event helps raise funds for pug rescue and raise awareness of responsible breeding practices. There will be a parade of rescues, a costume contest and even pug races. It sounds like they put on a great event and I'm really looking forward to being a part of it. If you are planning on attending (and you really should) please find me and say hi. It should be a great time.
