A few weeks ago I was approached by Bissell (you know the company that makes vacuums and the pet spot bot carpet cleaning thing that I always wanted)… anyway, they held a nation-wide contest for a pet photo contest. A dog in Morris, NY won, and one of the prizes was to have a professional photo shoot and that dog would then be featured on a future Bissell pet cleaning product.
They searched the internet for a photographer within 30 miles of Morris and they chose me because of my pet photography. I had to send them other pics too of pet photo shoots besides what was on my site.

A representative from Bissell flew in from Grand Rapids Michigan yesterday to meet me and the dog and owner. The photo shoot was at my studio from 3:30-5:30pm. It went fantastic!! I found out, that my photo of the dog will be printed RIGHT on the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Hand Vacuum and shipped world-wide!

The winner of Bissell’s pet contest was a border collie mix named Kiely, and her owner Lillie Goodrich of Morris, NY. Lillie Goodrich is President & co-founder of Glen Highland Farm, a border collie rescue organization. Bisell donated $5,000 to Glen Highland Farm as part of prize package for winning the pet contest.
The Glen Highland Farm border collie rescue website is www.glenhighlandfarm.com.

Here are a few photos from the shoot.
