Sarah Beth Photography | Minneapolis Saint Paul Minnesota Dog & Pet Photographer bio picture

Hi there!

If you're looking for fun images that showcase the personality, expression and spirit of your pets, you've come to the right place. I hope you'll find that my style is distinctive, artful, and just what you're looking for!

-----------

Growing up on a hobby farm in northern Minnesota, I spent my childhood out in the barn with the cats, dogs, horses, chickens, rabbits, sheep, and the many other creatures we had and loved.

I studied fine art and graphic design, and worked for years as a designer. Using color, composition, and a lifetime of creativity, I love producing unique images for my clients!

Thanks for checking out Sarah Beth Photography, and for supporting me in my art…. it allows me to continue paying it forward to other organizations, giving a voice to countless animals in need.

I’m living my dream and I couldn’t do it without you :)

start seeing black dogs

Friday, February 12, 2010

In 2008, my friend, Heather, started the website Start Seeing Black Dogs, as a resource for rescues and shelters to get and give information about “Black Dog Syndrome” and how to increase their adoption rates. Summed up, Black Dog Syndrome refers to the low adoption and high euthanasia rates of black dogs in shelters. I was honored to photograph Heather and her black dogs {and one chocolate dog} for People Pets a couple of weeks ago. Check out the article here. If you know of any shelters {or anyone!} who could use some of the free marketing provided by startseeingblackdogs.com, please pass the site along, and let’s get more black dogs adopted!

marissa - I have read about black dog syndrome. It is even harder on the big black dogs like the ones in your picture, because they have two things going against them…they are big AND black. I have a big gray dog and a lot of people are very intimidated by her even though she is the sweetest thing in the world. thank you for sharing this great story.February 14, 2010 – 9:04 pm

Kimberly - I’ve heard about this and think it’s ridiculous. I love black dogs and plan to adopt at least one when we have more property.

Wonderful program.
