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.

Tricia's Post Transformation

August 06, 2019

This lady right here…has made an amazing health and fitness transformation. I was asked to take her post transformation photos at the gym. I have known Tricia for a few years now…first just through social media which turned into taking photos of her home….then her family. She is an inspiration.

My Heart's Work - 07 2019

August 05, 2019 in Animal-Shelter

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.

“Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.” – Moby

Below is a video slideshow I created of all the shelter babies I photo’d this month for the above mentioned shelters. The link to a gallery will also be provided below.

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.

December 05, 2018

Below are the beautiful homeless animals that I took photos of in the month of November 2018 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.

Mama Lilly’s 6 Mo Litter Reunion

November 09, 2018

Back in April of this year, wonderful foster volunteer Elysia Patterson took in a very pregnant doggie named Lilly from League City Pets Alive and saw her through the birth of seven puppies. Elysia also facilitated the adoptions of all seven babies. Mama Lilly was adopted from LCPA once she had recovered from the birth. Recently, Elysia contacted all of the families of the puppies and got them all to show up for a 6 month reunion shoot. The only one who could not be there was Mama Lilly herself because we did not have contact with her adopter.

Below is a video slide show I put together for the event. For each pup there is their infant photo, the photo I took to get them adopted, the photos I took at the reunion (1 by themselves…1 with their family). A full group photo and a photo of all pups with their foster family are also included.

I hope you enjoy.
