The value of a quality photo cannot be overstated. Rescues and shelters around the U.S. work tirelessly to take good photos of the pets in their facilities and foster homes, hoping to capture their best side and tell their best story. Unfortunately, many organizations settle on poorly lit photos that do nothing to market the pet and look more like mugshots than they do portraits. Few shelters and rescues have access to professional photographers like Taylor and their adoptables are often overlooked as a result. It’s hard to quantify how many pets have found their forever homes thanks to Taylor’s skillfully captured images; she’s been volunteering as a photographer in shelters and rescues for more than 21 years. Taylor continues to open doors for adoptable pets around the Lowcountry by sharing her gift with those who may not understand it but stand to greatly benefit from it. Inspired to volunteer by a dog named Twister, Taylor is happiest when shy shelter dogs give her kisses during their photo time. One of her favorite words in the English language is “adopted,” and she has a special place in her heart for terminally ill pets. It would be difficult to find someone more deserving of recognition. Our congratulations go out to Taylor for this well-deserved award. Learn more about Taylor at jtpetpics.com. pets 280 WEST COLEMAN BLVD. 843.936.6997 | INTERIORMOTIVESMP@GMAIL.COM
