WINE & PAWs Event for Homeless Dogs


Want to get involved with helping homeless dogs and those that care for them?  Well I've got something easy for you to do!

April 17 and 18th is the First Annual, WINE & PAWs event at PEGGY MORSCH life photography studio.  Here's how it works:  Just bring a Large bag of dog food, a favorite bottle of wine and your dog. The food goes to WI German Shorthair Pointer Rescue and the WI Humane Society.  I'll photograph you and your dog for free and give you an 8x10 or smaller print!  You get to trade in your bottle wine and take home a new one you've never tried!  Everybody wins, especially the homeless dogs being cared for by dedicated people!

Be sure to bring some of your dog's favorite treats and get in a good exercise period before you arrive.

Just call me at 414.550.5340 to sign up for a 30" session, OR go to http://peggymorsch.bookmonline.com and register online.


Did I tell you that I like reds?

There's a Double for Everbody, Even Dogs!




This past summer I photographed Kathy and her lab-mix, Maddie for my Dogs and Their Women project, that will benefit the WI Human Society and WI German Shorthair Pointer Rescue.  While not successful in matching up our schedules, we got together over this weekend to view the images.  Kathy loved many of the images and there were the usual 'oohs' and 'aahs.' When this image came up, we just burst out laughing!  

After walking a couple of miles and getting brushed out with her 'love glove,' Maddie was feeling really relaxed in the morning sun.  Kathy had Maddie's favorite soft toy in her hand, just in case we needed it to get her attention.  You've gotta have your tricks lined up with pet or dog photography!  I don't recall who placed the look-alike lab toy in front of her, but it was a brilliant move!


Besides the color match, I think it's the matching ears; all sticky-outy on the same side, that does it for me.  Perhaps there's a bit of indignation on Maddie's part too.  I'm anthropomorphizing here, but I sense of a little, 'let's get this over with' from Maddie.  It's something I see occasionally in my dogs.  As if they're above a little fun at their expense.


The other image is the one that's in the running for the book.  If you're a woman with a dog, then you can most likely see yourself in this image!  Com'on admit it!  I know you talk 'baby talk' with your dog!  Thank God dogs like to be talked softly to and thank God, they like to listen to us!
