Peanut Pet Photography

Great throwbacks!

All the other photogs were doing it so I figured I should too. :) My year in pictures - through two animal shelters and a rescue, beaches around the world & so many gorgeous sunsets. I still have a lot to learn as far as the camera but I love it so much at least the work will not be hard. There is so much beauty in the world... you just need to see it.

We’re off Facebook for a much needed break! But if you’d like to catch up with our family photos of my 4 dogs and their friends - my Pibble has his own Instagram account at barkangel_raphael. That’s the only one I am using at the moment. Be well! 💜

Just a note to confirm that I have closed all operations here in NJ. It’s not that I don’t need the money, but I feel we all need to come together and stay home if we want to get through this. Many have already lost their incomes like me, so we need to flatten the curve to speed this up. :) I do look forward to getting back to work although with chronic health conditions, this time off is a lifeline.

On another note I have serious preexisting health conditions and I stayed optimistic until COVID got here, but damn I have never seen anything so contagious. When it got people I care about who are strict on hygiene and distancing I had to shift my perspective. I know some of you have beaten it already, but others like me with lung issues would likely pass. I believe in staying positive, but realistic. So be very careful friends, we don’t truly know what this is yet and just ask yourselves is this truly worth leaving the house for?

For now I am so grateful to get all this time with my dogs. 💜💜💜💜

Happy 2 Month Anniversary/Transformation to my sweet Raphael! He turned out to be full grown mini pibble. And thank you to Paws Rescue for rescuing him. I was initially going to be his foster but I knew he was meant to be ours when I saw that little sad face :) Although he doesn’t replace Peanut, he’s brought us so much joy through a stressful winter. 💜💜💜

Wishing all a safe and healthy lockdown. I am thrilled to be home with my pets but like all small businesses will be counting on the support of the community when this passes. I’m thinking affordable pet/family mini sessions this spring will be perfect and I also look forward to going back to the MCSPCA this year.

For those who are bored/home alone please considering fostering a pet during this downtime. You can save a life and have a wonderful friend. It’s free and as short term as you want it to be. The shelters are getting an influx due to fake news about dogs carrying the virus. They don’t! 💜🐶

I also stopped using this page, so if you want to see my dogs daily, follow me on Instagram at markovaphoto 📸

FREE PRO PHOTOGRAPHY FOR RESCUES/SHELTERS & ADOPTABLE PETS!

For anyone who doesn’t know, we offer free professional snapshots for any dogs looking for a home in our area.

I’ve been doing it for years, just been slacking on reaching out to places.

Have a foster doggo sitting for months? This is your chance to get new eye catching pictures.

To qualify -

1) Doggo needs to be looking for a home, not already adopted. (I can do mini sessions for a lower fee for adopted dogs) Give name of rescue for verification 🙂
2) Must be able to travel to Shark River Park in Neptune or Bradley Beach NJ (exit 100)
3) If a shelter, just text me to see if it’s within driving distance.

Behavior issues not a problem.

Please share! 💜

Ginger just passed away, but it was an honor to be her dog photographer 💜

When my Peanut passed a few months ago, I was so grateful I had so many pictures of him on my phone and at sessions over the years. Dogs truly are the best thing in the world.

If anyone ever needs to reach me for pictures please TEXT 347 612 0804 as I don’t have time to always check this page - and even if you can’t afford a session, take as many as you can with your phone. One day you’ll be so happy you did. 💔
