Christmas time is fast approaching and I, for one, am glad it’s approaching quickly. Not too long ago, I went with my family to the mall to get some last minute halloween accessories for my daughters costume. Why is this relevant? Well, it’s because they were playing christmas music…. that made me realize that, number one, the retailers can’t wait for Christmas and, two, that I would start getting more calls for Christmas portraits.
The call I received last week was for portraits, but not quite the kind I was expecting. The Raleigh SPCA has an annual Santa Paws pet portrait session that Santa gracisouly donates some of his time for. All proceeds go to the SPCA and help them shelter, treat and place pets into good homes. It’s a great cause and I was proud to have been called to help out. We had about 3 hours with Santa and all the pets were on their best behavior (I guess even they know about coal in the stocking). Below are a few shots of the event.

Bob Decker - These are really nice, man. I’m supposed to do a “Santa Paws” shoot for a local dog groomer in a couple of weeks. I’m looking forward to it… looks like fun!
