Hello Readers! I know I haven’t written in a while, but darn I was busy. Having said, I have missed my readers and their cute furkids. I promise to make a better effort to write. 🙂

As you know Spring is around the corner, well at least the calendar says so! 😉 Photo shoot sessions are filling up fast for the Spring and I already have a few booked for the summer! 🙂 I can’t wait to meet all the doggy and kitty models.

Please book fast. I only shoot a few clients per month as I put a great deal of effort after the shoot to create the best possible pictures of your dogs and cats, then I walk along this journey with you to get the best possible mount that matches your home and does your pet justice.  Long story short, BOOK SOON! 🙂

Not all my clients are aware, but you can make your payments also with a VISA or MasterCard!

I can’t wait to hear from you! 🙂

This past Christmas my sister and I purchased a machine to convert my dad’s thirty year old slides into JPG format. It was a blessing in disguise as I have enjoyed looking at these past memories just as much as my parents. My parents come from a small island that belongs to the Archipelago of the Azores called Terceira. The Azores islands belong to Portugal. Many of the pictures on the slides were taken in Terceira at a time where most of my parents family back home couldn’t afford a camera, so needless to say they didn’t even know these pictures existed. However, times have changed, most of them are connected to Facebook, so I have been uploading the pictures onto there. Its been amazing to see their reactions to the photos, considering most of them right now don’t even own any pictures of themselves when they were young. I have received many gracious comments for providing them the opportunity to look into their past. 🙂

Well where am I going with this? 🙂 As I was looking through the 1000 slides we converted, many of them had me with dogs, cats, fish, nature, etc. This is where it all began and made me the photographer and animal lover I am today. I always remember me growing up with nature or animals around me. Whether it was me feeding my uncle’s cows, helping a calve to find her mom’s milk, riding on a tractor in Portugal or even just chasing around a mouse in the backyard. I have always had a love and connection to animals. Photography is also the other part of my life that I have always enjoyed. I remember my dad buying me my first camera when I was 12. Looking at these slides resonates with me the importance of catching family and the people we love in a photo. No amount of money can replace these memories and especially reliving them through photography. I hope to give back my models and their family members a photo that just isn’t a photo, but a memory that can be cherished forever.

I posted a few pics of me growing up with animals of course! Enjoy! 🙂

    Thanks Amelia! I wish I could go back at times as it was such a wonderful time.

    @Clippers Corner – It is such a beautiful place. It’s my second home and I miss it so much. I try to go back every year because it’s the one place on Earth that gets me refreshed and rejuvenated for life.

    What great pictures, your love of animals started very young and has grown through the years, and that’s why you are so good today with them. Keep the years coming!

    @Carolyn – awww thanks Carolyn! 🙂

Hello all,

For my readers who have been following me know that I have been doing a shoot for Diego the boxer for our “Puppy Package”.  I did a shoot when he was 2 months, 5 months and I just completed his 9 month shoot.  Boy is he a BIG boy!!!!!  It was a blast shooting Diego, he is as rambunctious as a boxer gets! 🙂  I cannot wait to complete the full year.  A collage of his evolution will make a spectacular canvas!  Below are some photos of Diego’s most recent shoot.  Enjoy! 🙂

    Great shots Sandro! My fav is the face close-up where Diego’s eyes are closed – looks like he’s giving a big smile and saying “cheese”!

  • Sandro AvilaFebruary 16, 2011 - 11:03 am

    Thanks Amelia! I love that pic too! I had to put it up. I was really happy with this shoot because I felt like I really captured his character on camera! 🙂
