Giving Back

ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS

Rescuing and re-homing lost and abandoned pets is a cause very near and dear to my heart, as all of our own dogs are adopted. I donate my time to non-profit organizations by photographing adoptables for websites and marketing materials, and also accept requests for dog-related event photography when my schedule allows. Requests for silent auction donations are also welcome. If you are involved with or know of an organization that could use my services, please contact me using the contact form on this blog, or email me at leesia [at] leesiateh [dot] com.

I am also a member of HeARTs Speak, a group that works to “unite the individual efforts of animal artists and animal rescues into collective action for social change.” If you are not in the Atlanta area but are looking for a pet photographer to help photograph adoptables for your rescue organization, please visit HeARTs Speak for a listing of artists.

SEMI-ANNUAL SESSION GIVEAWAY

While I genuinely believe that everyone should have lasting portraits of their pets that truly capture their personalities, I understand that there is not always room in everyone’s budget. If you or someone you know has one of those life-changing love affairs with their pet and would truly value a portrait package but can’t afford it for whatever reason, please send stories to nominations [at] leesiateh [dot] com. Please include:

1. Your name & contact info

2. Nominee’s name & contact info (or indicate if you are nominating yourself)

3. Pet & owner’s story and why you have chosen to nominate them

Please mention any time-sensitive situations if applicable. I will contact you (and your nominee) if your entry is selected. The gift session will include a full session, private online gallery and slideshow, and a $150 print credit with absolutely no obligation to purchase additional prints or custom products. Please feel free to submit nominations at any time throughout the year — recipients are chosen based on the stories you submit and my current booking schedule.
