Santa Photo Shoot Time Again!

NikRaye Photography — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 02:24:26 +0000

It’s almost that time of year again — time to get out the holiday decorations and head over to the Redwood City Pet Food Express for the 3rd Annual Santa Photo Shoot benefitting Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Rescue (GGLRR), generously sponsored by Pet Food Express.

Last year’s shoot not only a blast but a huge success, to boot! We raised a record $800.00 for GGLRR through the sale of framed prints, CDs and GGLRR calendars. We’re looking to smash that record this year! And you can help by spreading the word: Simply share this blog link with others and/or download the PDF file and print off flyers for your family, friends and coworkers.

My Mutt Pet Star, Nessee!

Introducing Nessee, one of the latest My Mutt pet stars whose bigger-than-life poster graces the walls of the Pet Food Express Campbell store. Ananda and I shot the below image of Nessee during her My Mutt photo session at Roy M. Butcher Park in San Jose. Nessee’s dads, John and Michael, donated to Doggie Protective Services (DPS) to qualify their girl for the My Mutt poster. Nessee, herself, was adopted from DPS and Nessee’s dads continue to volunteer for this wonderful organization.

Check out the Pet Food Express’ My Mutt program for details on how to make your pet a My Mutt star.

NikRaye Photography is proud to be one of the exclusive Bay Area photographers for Pet Food Express’ My Mutt Program. For a donation to a non-profit rescue or shelter of your choice, Pet Food Express hires a professional pet photographer to arrange a photo shoot of your adorable critter. After choosing your favorite image, Pet Food Express will blow up the photo to poster size and display it in the store of your choosing. You get to see your “celebrity” pet every time you shop for food and supplies. For a donation of $250, your pet’s poster will be displayed in the store for six months; for $500, the image will be displayed for a year. Afterwards, the poster is yours to keep!
