Saving lives through photography

The Choose Me Project


Proudly created in April, 2025


My mission with this project is to produce scroll-stopping portraits for each adoptable shelter animal in an effort to assist shelters with further reach to find loving homes and reduce their time spent in the shelter.

WHY ARE GREAT SHELTER PORTRAITS IMPORTANT?


  • Studies show that these images receive more attention and result in higher adoptions.
  • Helps your shelter stand out, especially in terms of marketing and advertising.
  • Promotes professional images for the shelter, resulting in more community support.
  • Results in more “shares” on social media and as a result can grow social media followings on your shelter’s socials.
  • Higher adoption rates result in less overcrowding that most shelters face.
  • Photos are a great way to show the personality of each animal and offer connection.


WHAT IS NEEDED FROM YOUR SHELTER?


  • A clean room or space within the vicinity of the shelter to photograph each animal.
  • An employee or volunteer to assist with handling each animal to keep the photoshoot efficient.
  • A photo release signed by your shelter or agreed person on behalf of your shelter.
  • The permission to work with your shelter to make this project a possibility!



My simple Process for
your busy shelter:

I. Reserve your day & time.

Contact me to coordinate a day and time that works best for your shelter’s schedule.

E-mail: dreamsinglassphotography@gmail.com

II. Take photos.

I will arrive at the agreed location with my camera to photograph your shelter’s adoptable animals.


Each animal will be greeted by me with a smile, gentle words, and a toy or treats. After their trust is gained, I will introduce the camera and photograph them in a natural style that allows their personality to shine.


Animals will never be pushed into a situation that makes them uncomfortable or feel they need to defend themselves.

III. Deliver memories.

Your shelter’s photographs will be delivered via e-mail with a link to access and download your shelter’s gallery via my website.
