Help Alive Rescue AND Name a Rescue Pup? TWELVE Rescue Puppies {Chicago, IL}

I'm back - with the most adorable group I've ever photographed in over 10 years! I photographed TWELVE one-week-new puppies and their sweet mama, Mamba, for Alive Rescue recently and I no longer have a heart because these puppies & Mamba stole it.

I must be getting old because all I could think about, aside from how damn cute they are, is.... how on earth do they get any sleep like this when they're all squirming around, piled on top of one another, and making constant puppy squeals! However.... it made me super envious that they all got to be this close without a care in the world. #imisshugs

I fell in love with all of these pups and I love working with Alive, my favorite animal rescue in Chicago. They're going to need help with all of these pups - you can help if you’d like! You can name one of Mamba's puppies! Head to the link below to find more info.

In the meantime, just look at their sweet faces & let them hypnotize you with love. No one has ever been harmed just from looking at the sweet faces of teeny tiny rescue puppies… ;)

Alive Rescue - Lucky For Life Gala at The Joinery in Chicago, IL

I recently had the pleasure of contributing photos at the annual gala for Alive Rescue. Their Lucky for Life gala was held once again at The Joinery in Logan Square, a venue that is so charming and beautiful. This year’s event was a Masquerade ball and you best believe the pups were dressed just as well as their humans! (I had no idea that masquerade masks were even made for dogs…) One of my favorite flower companies, Flowers for Dreams, provided the gorgeous blooms and I was quite excited. There were tarot card readers, palm readers & delicious food and cocktails. Such a wonderful, beautiful evening for a great cause. I love giving back, especially to Alive Rescue!
