My life’s mission has been to do good and put pleasure again out into the world via my pictures. I’ve all the time had this unwavering dedication to do… to realize… to make a distinction… and I knew from a younger age that working with and for animals was my calling.
I imply, who wouldn’t wish to spend their total profession mastering the artwork of getting soiled simply to seize a single second of pet life? (Can’t we agree that animals simply have extra enjoyable?)
As photographers, we’re in a novel place to make pets (and other people, too, I suppose) completely happy and enhance the world via our artwork. At this time, I wish to spotlight a couple of methods Westway lives out our “pictures for a trigger.”
That is Why We Do What We Do:
To Make Homes Hotter…
“Each time I flip the nook and see the photographs, they make me smile!” – Tammy S.
Two phrases, one hashtag: #nailedit!
One among my favourite elements of working with households is seeing stunning art work of their animal companions go on their partitions. Check out this wonderful artwork household pet portraiture I had the pleasure of making and putting in!
And Recollections Stronger.
“I had seen Terran’s work with my good friend’s canine. The photographs have been stunning! When my vet instructed me to contemplate my superior little buddy of 16 years as being on hospice, I knew instantly I wished to do a legacy shoot with Terran and Westway Studio. Terran’s consideration to element, skill to work with my canine’s quirks and my very emotional state created a number of souvenir items. Terran is so compassionate {and professional}. It’s laborious to place into phrases simply how vital your entire course of has been in my skill to grieve my little Licorice. I can not advocate working with Westway Studio sufficient. You’ll not be upset!” – Lisa L.
It doesn’t get any simpler on the intestine or coronary heart to do legacy portrait classes as an expert pet photographer, however it’s oh-so vital and price each tear shed to seize stunning reminiscences like these:
This is the reason we do what we do: to make good moments good reminiscences… and good reminiscences good reminders… of the enjoyment it’s to like a pet.
Residing Out “Undertake Don’t Store”
It’s wonderful what a great photograph can do and much more wonderful how deceptive a nasty photograph could be. Take into account, for a second, a senior rescue canine who’s scared and confused in an unfamiliar place. The setting hardly makes for a contented topic, proper? Now consider an animal-loving — however maybe photographically-challenged — volunteer with a cellphone in dim mild and you’ve got the recipe for a not-so-great adoption image. That is the place Westway’s pictures for a trigger is available in!
By means of our pictures, we’re serving to adoptable senior canines discover their ceaselessly houses. Exhibiting them off in skilled imagery and spreading the phrase on the advantages of adoption.

I volunteer my time, abilities, and fervour to design the calendar and use one in all my commerce printers to get the perfect pricing for Lionel’s Legacy.

Giving Again to the Group – Educating Model
I L-O-V-E instructing! Right here’s what I like most about instructing others the enjoyment of pictures:
Serving to aspiring photographers obtain a-ha moments of their photographic abilities and enterprise methods — critically, watching these lightbulb moments when the whole lot simply *clicks* is essentially the most rewarding feeling!
Lending help to others who’re having bother seeing the forest via the bushes. Generally an out of doors perspective is all it takes to assist issues come collectively
Sharing data about finest practices for operating a profitable enterprise. I like serving to others discover ways to make a dwelling via their very own laborious work and dedication. Dwell to work, not work to stay.
Serving to others put their very own impression on the world via the issues which might be vital to them.
Empowering others expands constructive change.
Whenever you hone a ability set, you ignite ardour. Whenever you ignite ardour, you unfold positivity. Who doesn’t need extra of that?
Expansive impression on the pet business.
Educating means extra folks are actually able to reaching pet dad and mom, shelters, rescues, and pet companies with their work. As pets turn out to be increasingly more part of our households, we’re breaking down the stigma of getting stunning portraits created of your pets. We love our pets like kids and so they should be celebrated and remembered.
Giving again comes naturally whenever you’re surrounded by issues that encourage you & kick your ardour into excessive gear. What’s that for you?
