June 14: Bark for Life, Bangor, Maine

There’s no greater pleasure than to see people coming together for a cause. It’s just a bonus when those same people are pet owners. On June 14, the Greater Bangor Bark for Life committee, an offshoot of the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, held their third annual event at Bass Park in Bangor on the same racetrack that standardbred horses careen down on daily.

Despite some threatening clouds, the event was as good as ever with fun, frivolity, and the united cause of working together to find a cure for cancer. Part of why I participate in this great event is because my own life and the lives of many of my clients have been touched by cancer, both in canines and humans.

It’s well-known that dogs can provide an essential role in supporting those facing the C-word. Learn more about why the American Cancer Society started Bark for Life here. As a sponsor of the event, my job was to take photographs documenting the people and dogs.

She was flexible and always had multiple options to meet our scheduling needs. My pup is extremely large and, let's say, not the most polite walker. Debra arranged for our photos to be taken in spots that kept him safe, even making a last-minute change to our[...] Read More

I had a wonderful experience working with Deb from Bell's Furry Friend Photography! She and her assistant were so patient with my puppy.

Capturing a precious moment with your furry child in a quick snapshot is a joy in itself. However, does it capture the perpetual symbiotic relationship between you and your pet when you view the picture? The quick pictures I’ve taken or asked others to take have not. Debra Bell alleviates that concern. Debra’s presence in spirit and creativity is all for you as the FCP[...] Read More
