Raleigh Pet Photographer: All 4 Paws Animal Hospital

This project was so much fun and I was so glad to be asked on board. :) All 4 Paws, a new animal hospital that recently opened in Apex, NC, found my website while searching for pet photographers in the Raleigh area from whom they could get some artwork on their walls. This later turned into me taking photographs of their office space with the help of some furry friends. ;) Dr. Jerauld and Dr. Dorsett are wonderful to work with and their new practice is beautiful! It’s a very bright and cheerful space with a happy look to it. Special thanks to all the staff and the human and animal models. No furballs were harmed in the making of these photos. ;)

Congratulations on your opening, Dr. J+D! We wish you the best of luck and success in the coming years!

Happy 59th Birthday, Dad!

Today is my dad’s 59th birthday! Avid reader of the Carolyn Scott Photography blog, I figured I’d write him up a little post. ;) I’ve found myself over the years turning more and more into my father. My family has always known about my dad’s list of strong dislikes such as:

– Shopping malls and large crowds

– Scented candle and/or perfume stores

– Desserts that are too sweet

When I was younger (a teenager especially), I couldn’t figure out why he didn’t like those things. Now I too avoid them like the plague. Unfortunately, I’ve also slowly inherited my father’s taste for really expensive hobbies. My dad’s been slowly accumulating a makeshift studio in my sister’s old room and collecting enough guitars for a small army. Now when I find myself needing a new lens or other piece of equipment, I curse my father’s genes that have a penchant for scouring the internet to figure out why expensive pieces of equipment you currently don’t have are better than the ones you currently do.  Thanks, Dad! ;)

Over the years I have always acquired my dad’s list of strong likes as well, such as:

– The beach

– Judging other peoples’ stereo systems and speakers

– NPR (when did this happen? I think starting to listen to NPR is the real sign that you’re officially an adult.)

You are the best! I hope you have a great 59th birthday. :) I’ll be bringing home your actual card and presents at the end of June! And I know you are working today, but hopefully you can spend your weekend like this! **

**Not meant to be sarcastic – I know you live in Western Pennsylvania and not at the beach, but maybe you can go fishing? :) You’ll be at the beach in August, yay!!

Us at your wedding.

So we end up taking a lot of pictures at weddings. Sometimes these pictures are of ourselves because hey, this is what we do on our weekends too. And, like all good party-goers, we have to take pictures of ourselves to document our whereabouts so we remember when we’re old. I found these ones of Geoff while editing Liz+Chris’s wedding (coming soon). Here he is, in his various states of modeling. ;)
