Please read carefully before contacting our studio about this special opportunity:

We have an upcoming photo shoot for a major brand and we’re casting a real family and their beloved dog for the shoot. The shoot will take place at the end of February in the hometown of the selected family. Below is some info for casting. Please share with friends, family, acquaintances that might be interested! The casted family WILL be compensated by the client. And the shoot will be a blast:) It’s critical that the pet play an important role in the family’s life, as that relationship will be featured in this piece.

__________________________

WE’RE LOOKING FOR A FAMILY OF AT LEAST 2 PEOPLE WITH THE FOLLOWING:

– a sporting breed dog (ie. Golden Retriever, German Shorthaired Pointer, English Springer  Spaniel, Lab, Beagle, Coonhound, Weimaraner, etc)

– an active lifestyle (walkers or runner or hikers or campers…anything active and outdoors that  you might do with your entire family). It’s important that this is something your dog does with you.

– a home in a warmer climate location for a February shoot, with a mixed terrain in their city-  area of rock or hills and some trees (ie. Texas, Southern Cali, Florida, AZ, New Mexico)
