New Custom Photography Apps AKA Super Cool Digital Photo Albums!!!

I'm so excited to offer this personalized app for past clients as well as future clients! Now, I am not one who is super duper outrageously APP crazy. Like, I don't spend hours searching the app store for games, in fact, I don't think I've ever downloaded any games to my phone. Ever. That's sad isn't it. But I DO however on occasion, download some new and innovative types of apps that improve my daily life. (Uplifting daily quotes get me going in the morning) SOOO need that!
When I discovered this new cool marketing tool to display your own personal photos-or better yet-a way for new or past clients to view their own photos digitally from their photography session-privately-whenever-wherever-WITHOUT the use of the internet- I was blown away! This new technology has been around for a year or so and growing so fast! (I feel sooo behind the times!) One company I am currently using for client galleries is called SHOOTPROOF.com. so, it was only natural for me to hop on to the custom photography APP board! I luv Shootproof! They are affordable and simple to use!!

I have created a few for some clients and it may seem a little odd at first when they receive it, may end up in spam or junk mail box. So! I am here to explain it as best as I can! This only is for MOBILE devices such as IOS and ANDROID. It seems most people these days have an iPhone-and it looks SOOO cool on one! This is what I do: Puppycat Photography will  email you a LINK. When you click on the link, (it'll say, puppycat.shootproof.com/app/123456).
A new window will pop up and it will say: custom app by: Puppycat Photography. Install, tap and add to home screen-you'll see your app icon image-and this will be an image of your PET and PERSON from your session with me! Add icon to your home screen  so you can quickly access the website.
Once you have added the icon, it displays as your very own personal digital photo album that you can now view without using the internet.  On the go. Super cool. And totally yours to keep! The free apps I have been gifting have included 10-12 images. (Pet promotion going on right now btw!-see my website!! http://www.puppycatphotography.com/#!/page/167290/pet-promotion- )
But I can create one with up to 40 images! How cool is that? When you tap the super duper cute lil icon of your precious someone, a collage displays and when you tap the image, you slideshow through your session photos and OOOO and AWWWWE!
Of course, don't forget to forward, share on all of the most famous social media websites for family and friend to go wow! I want one too! You can contact me directly from the app page as my name and number and a sorts of contact info is available for booking a pet photography session!
So far, no glitches! And I will do my BEST to make sure this works flawlessly for you! Above you will find images from one app I have created for the iPhone. I can only imagine what it looks like on a iPad. (tech lust approaching) UUUGGGHHH!

WOW, I look GOOD! The Value of Professional Portrait Photography Omaha

Here I go again! Another huge gap in my blog posts! Not to worry, whenever I post anything, it's usually of importance, and lately I've been disconnecting from the web world for a while, just to clear my mind and to re think what it is I am doing here. This post is important. It explains some of the VALUE that is created within the photog industry. Anyone can take pictures. And everyone does take pictures. I LOVE that we can ALL take advantage of happy snaps ALL DAY LONG 24/7. Heck, I have only 3000 pics on my iPhone. What do I do with them? Look at them for a SECOND. Possibly share ONE to maybe as many people as I hope, this never happens, I'm not exciting. Most people have thousands of images on there box computer (hey, Mac Pros are freakin awesome dude). And most people will print ONE or maybe a DOZEN perhaps out of that heap of UNORGANIZED mess on their computer. Who wants to spend the 'no time we all have' organizing these pictures anyway? Too much work.
 Which brings me to my point to all of this. VALUE. The time it takes for someone with some pro knowledge in the picture world. I googled the word and this is the first sentence that appeared: 'the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.' I listen carefully to clients, spend time with them, and create something visually appealing that is my unique art and hopefully worth something of VALUE. This photo example of my beautiful daughter taken yesterday in the kitchen with north window light is what I LOVE to create. PORTRAITS. The amount of time I take to create 1 image from start to finish can be daunting, yet very satisfying and rewarding in the end! I know it says QUICK edits but I always go the extra mile, within reason. I will NOT photoshop the hell out of you. That is def not my style. She is au natural for the most part. Her skin is slightly touched up and the whole image is improved to what it is I love. I like to look at before and afters and this is a great example. Except ignore the stray hairs going in all directions pls-I could have taken time to remove them but, this NEEDS to be done ahead of time people!!! hairspray next time PLEASE!
So take happy snaps all day long, but let me help you improve your walls!  It's that ONE special amazing portrait that is blown up to 20X30 on a canvas for your wall that will BLOW your mind forever. Like I said, anyone can take pictures, but I have to price according to the value of my art and the experience with my clients. I'm not a cheap photographer who will give you a deal (the word CHEAP! like going to a cheap surgeon is a good idea), I'm a professional who will spend time with you and take amazing portraits of your family and your pet that you will cherish for a lifetime! To me that's value. Now, back to wacky cat pictures on the web....

Precious Kali and her handsome brother Domino in pretty fall Omaha dog portraits!

SNEAK PEEK photos of a couple of bfff's and their gorgeous mommy show off their charm and sweetness at the local park on a crisp fall morning. Shot during mid week with no distractions! No kids, traffic or other pets, except for a jogger and some scary leaves... They were tricky to wrangle at first but, mom showed off her superpowers and handled them perfectly! No tilt of the head, but with a tongue like that hangin out of that slobbery cuteness of a dog face, who needs it! Thank you Amanda for being SUPER patient! They were a delight!!!

Darling Blonde Pomeranian looks Spiffy in October Halloween Jingle

October first is finally here and the leaves are a changin! This is my absolute favorite month of the year. I am in love with the chilly mornings and blazin sunny days and crispy nights! Sweatshirt weather! Shadows are super tall and the orange sun is setting earlier and earlier. I tend to drink a lot of coffee to get my creative juices flowing from Fox Hollow this time of year. The flavors are delish! Hallmark has candles in a luscious flavor named pumpkin butter! MMM.
Furby is FAB in this jingle gettup. What a charming young man he is. Poor guy has had some serious puppy bottom issues and yet can still ham it up in his photo shoot! What a champ!
BTW, I'm shooting pet portraits at Mulhall's on Saturday, Oct. 19th from 11-2pm.
This is what you get:  Tasty Treats from Nature Dog Omaha,  Free fab photo from Puppycat photography, donations to NHS, and a FURTASTIC time at a beautiful nursery! Dogs AND cats are welcome!!! You can't beat it!!!

Young Brussels Griffon Puppy is charming model in Omaha!

What a charming young puppy dog 'Rupert' was for a day. He was cuteness all rolled up in a ball. Puppy's are great models to shoot. Brussels are laid back with a punch of spazziness. I love it when dogs can go from 'no ears' to 'ears' at a squeaking moment! Cute, charming and a handsome little fellow. Rupert was truly a blast to photograph!
