I was recently asked to create a photo booth to photograph dogs here in Austin, TX at an event called Pupapalooza. I don’t typically photograph events, but I thought this would be a fantastic opportunity to get out into the pet community here in Austin and to support a cause close to my heart. All of the ticket sales from my photo booth went to the Austin Humane Society and the Animal Trustees of Austin. Although the day was hot, I felt I had a pretty good turnout in my booth! I created the background with a board from Home Depot and some chalkboard paint. I filled the chalkboard with “dog” words–sometimes the dog’s name to add a little special “flair” to the background. I wanted the booth to be fun and to express a candid feeling while maintaining a beautiful quality of light and color. Pet owner’s and their beloved pets joined in on the fun and in exchange for their tickets they received their very own custom photo booth strip! This was absolutely a perfect way for me to meet some of Austin’s dogs and their people and for me to play around with my photo booth idea. Special thanks to all of the participants in my booth for their support and to my helpers for making the day run smoothly!

Kimberly Davis - These are great Norah! I wish I had known, this would have been so much fun! Of course, my little Lucy (long haired Chihuahua) would never behave well enough in public to attend, but I love the idea! Definitely put me on your mailing list for next time.
Nicole Mlakar - Looks great Norah!
Judy Babinski - Hi Norah – love the blackboard idea! Great fun and great photos!
