Independence Day Benefit Dog Photo Event

Have your dog photographed in Leesburg by a top area professional dog photographer.  A one-day, Saturday, June 25th, benefit, by appointment, Independence Day Benefit Pooch Photo Event at Top Dog Grooming Salon in Leesburg (703.669.8085) by professional fine art pet photographer Bill Owen (www.mansbestfriend.org).  Sessions are 45 minutes on the white paper for a classic studio look, and include two 8x10s chosen by you and Bill at the conclusion of the shoot -- you'll take the two 8x10s home with you.  Cost is $120, twenty percent of which goes to Middleburg Humane Foundation of Middleburg and Marshall, Virginia.  MHF specializes in the rescue and rehabilitation of abused, neglected, and at-risk small and large animals.  For a second dog, add $35.  Two dogs from the same household maximum per session -- thanks!  At the conclusion of the session there's an opportunity to order 4x6, 5x7, 11x14, 12x18, or 18x24 prints.  The week following the event Bill emails you 16-18 low-resolution, watermarked jpegs of the best shots from the 80-140 shots that he takes.  Questions?  Contact Bill at 301.455.5344 or email him at MrBillOwen@gmail.com.  Bill was profiled in mid-April by Washington Post Metro columnist John Kelly.  There's a link to the Kelly article and video on Bill's website.  The five morning time slots are taken, but there are afternoon time slots still available.  Book now with Top Dog (703.669.8085) to get one of the remaining afternoon appointments.  You'll be glad you did!
