I had the pleasure of photographing the Naperville Area Humane Society Black Cat Gala for the second year in a row. As a fond supporter of the NAHS, it’s great to help out in different ways.  Once again, Meson Sabika outdid themselves on the food and service and sangria.  The tables were jam packed full of items for the silent auction and although it seems a harder year for most, the generosity and donations poured in from the supporters during the live auction and giving portion. Thank you everyone who attended and your generous donations!

Tuesdays are my Naperville Area Humane Society, NAHS, days when I spend time photographing the lovelies that need forever homes.  You can contact the NAHS if you see a cat or dog that peeks your interest. Also they often ask for donated items on their sign out front, this week they’re in need of clay cat litter and postage stamps.

Ellie – What a cutie and she has the sweetest temperament. She is 9 years old and she looks like a wookie with the long hair on her legs, I giggled as she shuffled into my photo studio, I mean the kitchen at NAHS. If I knew my husband wouldn’t grumble and tell me all the reasons why now is not a good time to add another furry friend, I would love to add to her to our family.

Harley: This little guy is also a sweetheart, but he is completely blind and walked into the cabinets and my legs during our session. He is mellow and needs a caring Seeing-Eye-Person to take care of him.
