IT’S TIME! BOOKINGS ARE OPEN! 
 
On May 22, 23, and 24, visit the pet portrait fundraiser in Burlington to help local rescues who are overwhelmed right now with vet bills and dogs needing care.
These are the same rescues pulling dogs out of really hard situations, and right now, they need us.
For a minimum $45 donation plus tax, you’ll get a beautiful studio portrait of your dog on a clean white background, and 100% of your session fee goes directly to the rescues.
A charitable tax receipt will be provided.
Even better, if you fall in love with more images, 50% of all additional sales are donated too.
So your dog’s photo isn’t just a photo… it’s helping feed, treat, and save another dog’s life.
Your gallery will be ready within one week. You’ll choose your favourite image to be fully edited, with the option to purchase more if you’d like, no pressure 
If you can’t attend, you can still donate

Walk-ins are welcome, but booking ahead is best so you don’t have to wait.
And if you do end up waiting, you can always grab a coffee at Peach Coffee Co right next door
