once again, i am thrilled to present you with our annual year-end video. most photographers put together a year-end blog entry as a retrospective of their year, but here at scruffy dog we started our own tradition over the past few years: a video to celebrate all of our clients and sessions in the past year.
the 4-leggers in this video are all clients from our 2013 sessions. what you will see is one photo of each scruffy from every session … and let me tell you, that is no easy task: choosing just ONE photo from each client session! fortunately for some of our clients, one session is not enough, and for those with two (or more) sessions in 2013 — namely our Seasons Sessions — they will appear once for each session.
and the result? over 150 scruffies! what a stellar year!
unfortunately, with this high number, i am unable to include photos from rescue sessions shot throughout the year … and the slides do go by pretty quickly … so don’t blink!
also of note, with this year’s video (unlike in past years) i have laid out the images in the order that the sessions were shot … this way you are able to follow along and see the scruffy dog year unfold!
as i watch this year-end video back myself, i realize that in spite of many personal struggles and losses this year, as well as some significant equipment obstacles, we had another darn amazing year here at scruffy dog. i must credit SDP’s absolutely wonderful clients and the many inspiring scruffies that i meet each year. i am forever and deeply grateful for the spirit and support of not just my clients, but also the steadfast and loyal supporters of SDP over the years. every single one of you — client, follower, supporter, marketing partner, fan — plays a vital role in making scruffy dog what it is today.
so, thank you. each and every one of you, thank you. this is for you!
again, thank you, clients, for being a part of the scruffy dog family and a part of our history. and thank you, SDP followers for your continued support over the years. ENJOY!
Holly Garner-JacksonSuper illona, and your music choices were great. I can’t imagine how you choose from all of your fabulous images!
Lise Charest FratinWow
Keri Lyn Tomal BarhamAbsolutely fabulous!
Norma RowleyI am so inspired by the photos that you post, and the information you share. You make me want to work even harder at my craft, to capture the unique personalities of the animals that I photograph and draw. I’m hoping to schedule either a mentoring session or a critique of my portfolio and/or website in the near future. I wish you and your scruffies a happy, healthy and prosperous 2014 !
