My Heart's Work - 11/2019

in , ,

I started taking photos of shelter animals in April of 2013 and have been pretty consistent with it through the years. I started with the League City Animal Shelter now League City Pets Alive…added the Webster Animal Shelter in June of 2014…Nassau Bay in May of 2015…Bayou Animal Services in October of 2015…Bay Area Pet Adoptions in December of 2016. There were also a couple of rescues added to my list in 2019. They were Ranger’s Reach and Albert’s Dog Lounge.

Below is a slideshow I created of all the shelter babies I photo’d last month for the above mentioned shelters. Each and every one of these babies are so deserving of better … more love, more understanding. Hopefully by the time I make this post each month most, if not all, are in loving homes. That is my hope.

I am Rhonda Tipton and I am a photographer residing in the Houston area. My work includes a wide range of subjects such as portraiture, events and fine art; however, I feel my purpose on this Earth is to tell the stories of those without a voice through my pet, animal shelter and rescue photography.

Family Session | The Philpot Family

in , ,

Date: 11/29/16 | Location: Eagle Springs - Humble, TX

This session was originally scheduled for the previous day, but the threat of rain and major wind made it necessary to postpone one day. This mother and daughter were so delightful to work with. I truly believe I was able to capture their personality well and I am grateful to have met them both.

Two shelters this week. League City and Bay Area Pet Adoptions. This was my first time to take photos for BAPA. They have many awesome dogs and cats waiting for their forever homes. Both shelters have so many beautiful babies. 

Adopt don't shop...give a shelter animal a chance. Below are the wonderful babies from this week. They are in no certain order and the shelter is noted on the photo itself.
