Happenings of 2013

We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Year. There were both happy and sad times in the year 2013. Here is a list of what happened in 2013:-

1. Our dear friend Daniel, the owner of Sparx & Fritz, has passed away because of kidney failure. He was a musician, photographer and a fighter. He will be missed by all of us.

2. Zara from The Butterfly Chaser's also passed away. She died because of old age. She was a happy and friendly German Shepherd. She will be greatly missed and always be in out hearts.

3. One of our dog was a suitable candidate for the Dr. Dog program and we took her in for an evaluation. To our surprise, she passed the test and now carried the name Dr. She is no other than Dr. Hayley.

4. Since Dr. Hayley has to 'work', we decided to take photos while she and her colleagues are working. In other words, we are the unofficial photographer of Dr. Dog (Penang).

Penang Horse Show 2012

We attended the Penang Horse Show which was held in Penang Turf Club from 30th November until 2nd December. We were there early to watch the opening and also to get some photos of horses doing jumps.

After the equestrian event, we walked around the stalls to see if they have anything interesting. As usual, there are horses on display, fire-breathing demonstration and also horse-shoe making competition.

There is also a stage where some performances were help. The PAAPP was there to demonstrate dog obedience and some simple dog tricks.

A silver parcel

Just to share an exciting news. We got a call from a courier service asking if it was possible to drop by their office to collect a parcel. We weren't expecting any parcels so we were curious to know what the parcel contains and who it was from. After signing for the parcel, we opened it and was surprised to find a silver folder with the Nikon logo on the back.....

...And on the front of the folder has the NPS words printed across it.

The folder contains a welcome letter, two sets of NPS stickers and a NPS card which has a validity of 2 years. We still have no idea what to do with the stickers for the time being. Below are some photos of the stickers, the welcoming letter and the NPS card.

Bella The JRT

Jack Russell Terrier or JRT in short was bred for hunting. This breed has a high level of energy and requires a lot of daily exercise. We got to know Bella through Sue from PAAPP. Sue was training Bella to compete in agility and asked us to take photos of Bella while she is training.

Below are some of the photos of Bella during her agility training.

Official Announcement!

Hello Everyone!

We are pleased to announce that we went to the Companies Commission Of Malaysia (CCM), to register Penang Pets Photography on 6th of November 2012.

All we had to do was to fill out FORM A, pay MYR 60.00 (for five years due to their current incentive) & wait our turn to check the business name availability.

After about 45 minutes, we were informed that we had the green light for everything & to return the next day to collect the receipt of payment along with the official registration cert.

The following day, we received a call from the CCM informing us that the name Penang was not approved as it is only for government use, Professional was too vague...thus we had to crack our heads together...leading to inappropriate laughs at P-words & finally decided on ONE that is PRECIOUS.

We went by today to collect our cert & are happy to let you know that Penang Pets Photography is now officially registered as Precious Pets Photography (but we are keeping our blog name & using PENANG as our original name ;) )

Enough said. Hope you find it exciting too!

How We Do It?

At Penang Pets Photography we celebrate animals. We are deeply aware of the value animals add to our lives from our work with the GrASS. We would like to create a beautiful photograph of your pet that will be remembered always and in the times to come.

OVERVIEW: We shoot on-location, generally at the client's home, or at our studio located on Penang Island. We prefer our sessions to take on a life of their own and flow easily with your pet's personality and energy level. Pet photography, dog photography in particular, requires constant understanding, adaptability and flexibility!

THE PROCESS: We begin by having a consultation session with the client. This is the first step in creating special images of your pet(s). The consultation is a Q&A session that helps us to learn more about you and your pet so that we are able to obtain a more natural approach in photographing them. If we are shooting at your home expect some additional questions that will help us understand what to expect regarding lighting and backgrounds. If you have chosen a home session, we may request to visit your home prior to the shoot. Sessions on Penang Island are often handled by phone and emails.

THE PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION: Our goal at Penang Pets Photography is to capture images of your pet's personality in their most natural state. Since we will already have a good idea of the final image we'd like to create, this is often the easiest part. Of course, because we are photographing pets - anything can happen! Our vast experience with animals allows us to go with that flow, capture natural expressions, images that are outstanding.

If you choose a LOCATION SESSION we prefer to come to your home where your pet is most comfortable.

The best images are captured when pets feels the most comfortable which allows them to move and act freely. We will shoot both inside (if you prefer) and out using natural light and ask that there be areas of significant shade. We also insist that any outside areas be fenced or secure for your pet's safety.

Some people prefer a STUDIO SESSION. For those pets who acclimate quickly and travel well, a studio session allows us to take a different approach. In the studio we like to get creative with lighting and settings. The sessions are still playful and stress-free - just a bit more controlled. It really depends on the final product you envision as well as your pet's personality.

YOUR IMAGES will be ready two to three weeks or more after your session depending on the workload and we will contact you for an appointment to select the photographs.

ORDERING SESSION: Our photographers are always available, and prefer to meet up with you to finalize your order, review photographs, and discuss your designs.
