Karen Fling, DVM and president of East Lake Pet Orphanage, a Dallas-based, no kill animal shelter, announced the Orphanage?s Squash Blossom Studios has just completed its second photography shoot since opening last month. All proceeds from rentals benefit the pets of East Lake Pet Orphanage, the non-profit rescue organization. The name comes from the cheerful, orange exterior of the building, which aids in finding it in its industrial location.
This shoot by professional photographer, Gay Glazbrook, featured ?Magnum,? 2010?s Number One Chinese Shar-Pei. He won his National Specialty, Group Seconds at Westminster and AKC/Eukanuba, and is a Multiple All Breed Best in Show Winner. He is owned by Bonnie Berney and Helga Kamp of Oklahoma.?We were thrilled with the space,? said Glazbrook. ?It worked especially well because we could scout through the donated items and use them as props in the shoot. ?Magnum? loved the Chinese chair Karen found for him.?
Handlers David Williams and Greg Reyna assisted each other on their individual photo shoots. Greg brought the Priscilla Martin / Sandi Lyons owned Bouviers in for their close-ups. ?Kelly? & ?Decker? reside in Dallas. The photos of the award-winning pups will be used in dog show publications internationally.
About Squash Blossom Studios
The 18,000 square foot warehouse facility currently has 3,000 square feet of air conditioned, finished out space available for use. ?We plan to finish out more of the space, and create a cyclorama, or cyc as they say, for shooting large items, like cars,? Dr. Fling said. The facility includes 16? ceilings and garage style opening doors with loading dock height bays.
Squash Blossom Studios offers some extras for clients if needed, such as an on site carpenter for help with set building, animal talent from East Lake Pet Orphanage, and an air-conditioned pet trailer that includes a sink and pet bedding. There?s also a paint booth, makeup room, full kitchen, fenced parking, and even a basketball court for stress relief!
?The facility works great for animals, but is perfect for any studio project, from furniture to fashion to cars,? Dr. Fling said. She added she hopes Squash Blossom Studios will eventually be used for filming, performance, and special events.
