Sanctuary Studios Animal Photography

Sanctuary Studios is a full-service pet portrait photographer with a difference. We come to you!

Your pampered pooch or favorite kitty is a sensitive creature. They get skittish and nervous in strange surroundings, and they like to be in an environment where they feel safe and secure. Why have their portraits taken by a photographer who requires that you drive them and all their personal props halfway across town to a strange studio? The poor things will be stressed out by the time the first frame is taken.

Our services are different. We pack up a fully functional studio's worth of equipment and bring it to you and your pet, to wherever they're comfortable. And it shows in the final result. Relaxed and happy pets take better pictures.

When you call us for a sitting, we'll arrange a half-hour consultation by phone or in person to discuss the location, meet or hear about your pets, and talk with you about the style and type of photography you're looking for. Once we set a time and date, we'll arrive for a sitting of up to two hours. We'll make it as formal or informal as you like, with whatever props you want to use.

At the end of the sitting, if you like, we'll show you any digital proofs from the session and allow you to pick your prints. Or, alternately, you can take a proof CD so that you can look them over at your leisure.

We hope you'll consider Sanctuary Studios for all your animal and pet photography services.

Choosing a Can of Tuna

On Saturday, best chum Tea was headed over to help me in my never-ending quest to organize myself. A lunch was promised, so I headed out to the store. Even the local Rite-Aid had a dizzying array of cans to choose from. I picked one of each of the water-packed cans of Bumble Bee and brought them home. Here they are in all of their tuna-y glory.

Here's the tuna salad receipe that I used on Saturday:
Gently drain the tuna. (Squeeze it a little.)
Dump all of the tuna in a bowl. (3 cans)
Add about 2-3 big forkfulls of sweet relish. (Use fork to drain relish juice out a bit.)
Glob in a big glob or two of mayo. (Use a soup spoon.)
Add a Lemon Flavor Crystals packet. (= to 1/4 lemon)
Stir.
Add some more relish if ya wanna.
Stir.

Serve on Arnold's bazillion grain healthy bread. (Toasted)

Add a side of fruit salad.

Enjoy!
