Woof and Welcome! I'm April, a Philadelphia area photographer of modern, fun pets AND weddings. I feel so lucky to be able to do what I LOVE and share it with others! April Ziegler Photography was born out of the desire to document my own life and one particularly spunky Boston Terrier (see that cute mug right above!) soon became my muse. Our pup, Chloe, is the inspiration for my business and the inspiration for my brand new logo. On this blog you will find recent sessions, business news, and a little about my personal loves and life. Don't be shy... I love to hear your thoughts! Click on Speak under each post to leave a comment, and make my day a little brighter!
There are 500 dogs and 500 cats at the Pennsylvania SPCA that could use a little happiness this holiday season. And you can help. The PSPCA will be collecting donations of chicken, white unflavored rice, unsalted tuna, toys and blankets for dogs and cats, and fresh veggies for small mammals. Donations can be dropped off at the address below or non-perishable items can be mailed. Holly Russel from the PSPCA designed this adorable flyer to announce the event and I’m excited that she chose to include my photo of Sheba! Every little bit helps and these animals sure deserve to have a happy Christmas morning…
Are you ready for some football? Training Camp is just around the corner and the PSPCA adoptable animals can’t wait! Join Jon Runyan, Barrett Brooks and other NFL players for a Tailgate Party at the PSPCA’s Philadelphia Adoption Center on Saturday, June 6 from 1-5 p.m.
Enjoy food and fun, face painting, moon bounce, football toss, autographs, adorable pets and more! All proceeds will fund the construction of the PSPCA’s Dog Park to help exercise and rehabilitate abused and neglected animals.
I’ll be there, camera in hand, to capture all the fun (and try to sneak into the moon bounce!). Come out for a good time to support a wonderful cause.
Here are more ADORABLE dogs that are available for adoption at the PSPCA and waiting to find good homes. If you know anyone that is looking to add a pup to their family, please pass these sweet faces on!
Here are more pups at the PSPCA that really need a home! If you know anyone looking for a new furry family member, please pass this on to them.
We will start with an awesome dog who is somewhat of a local celebrity… Meringue…
Meringue was featured on Good Day Philadelphia with Jen Utley, wife of Chase Utley. Check on Meringue’s television debut…
AND she was included in Bounce’s 15 Most Loveable Pets contest, which you can view by clicking HERE! Another available pup, Baby, is also Loveable contestant. Here is Baby if you missed her in the past post…
A very cute fluffball named Dany…
A beautiful, energetic guy named Marshmallow…
The sweetest, mellow older man… Otis Redding…
And this girl, who stole my heart. Her name is Sparkles. She is a Mastiff that is around 10yrs old. She came from a neglect situation which is heartbreaking. But even though she was treated poorly, she is so loving and calm. As I walked the aisle she stood up to the gate and rested her head on top, glancing in my direction with those sweet brown eyes. I approached her and petted her head. Her eyes slowly closed as she enjoyed the attention and love for a few minutes. How I hope that someone gives her the loving home that she deserves…
As I was wandering the aisles of the PSPCA last weekend, taking photos of the pups, I looked over and saw another volunteer, Terrie, snuggling with a new puppy named Star. It’s not hard to see how much the volunteers love the animals there. It’s also not hard to see why…
