Onyx and Baxter Pet Photography l Roanoke VA Pet Photographer Schaffer Photography

Christina was a single dog owner for many years.  She was perfectly content just owning Onyx (seen below) and wasn't really looking for another dog.  Then Onyx met Baxter.  Christina was fostering Baxter for just a few weeks from the Roanoke Valley SPCA until they could find him a forever home.  After the few weeks foster time was up, Christina took Baxter back to the SPCA as planned.  She expected that she would miss Baxter a little since she had grown attached to the little guy, but what she wasn't expecting was for Onyx to miss him too.  Onyx stopped eating well and became slightly nervous and Christina realized what was wrong- he missed Baxter.  So, what was Christina to do but adopt the cute puppy and give Onyx back his little friend!  I met both Onyx and Baxter at Hollins University to take photos of both for the SPCA Pet Project, a photography project I created to benefit the Roanoke Valley SPCA.  I was greeted with a warm stream of pee from little Baxter that landed right on my foot.  Definitely part of the hazards of the job with pet photography!!  I had a great time and the photos came out great!!  I hope you enjoy :)
