Before I even conceived of DelaFoto I had seen a compelling news story about how professional portraits of shelter dogs got them adopted faster.  I was very moved and wanted to help out in that way.  So when I launched DelaFoto last summer, it was a priority for me to join HeArts Speak and find local rescues & shelters that had long term residents in need of a boost.  It started with a few photo sessions at our studio and expanded to destination a shoot at shelters & local businesses, photographing over 30 dogs in need. 

With the busy routine of running a new business it can be hard to keep up on the latest news on the pups I photographed over 6 months ago.  But this week I heard the best news of all! All of the shelter dogs and many of the rescue dogs have been adopted to wonderful homes, often due to the increased visibility and appeal the photos we took provided.  It warms my heart and makes me anxious to photograph more.  I post our new dog portraits on Facebook, I hope you'll tune in and help spread the word on their availability by sharing these images online.  Thank you to the Shelters & Rescues and all their hard work to find homes for these sweet hearts, I look forward to more success stories together!
