Project “Wellies” for Wellness Pet Company

Westway aims to put a little good back into the world and working with companies like this one, who are helping to make our animal companions’ lives happier and healthier, makes that so much easier to do.

Wellness Pet Company is the parent company for brands like Wellness, WHIMZEES, Sojos, and more. They were redesigning their website and wanted to capture happy, loving moments between their employees (“Wellies”) and their pets. They settled for nothing less than maximum authenticity for their brand. They wanted to shoot in city and park locations near their office and had a list of locations for me to research and choose from.

There was a small hurdle though: their office is in New England and I was in California! So we did a vacation shoot like I previously did with GoldPaw, using my east coast vacation to shoot commercial pet photography.

I needed to capture real people with real dogs and find unique points of interest in the different areas we were shooting without having the opportunity to scout the locations in person. Thank goodness for Google Maps and an eager-to-help client!

HOW WESTWAY WENT WILD FOR WELLNESS

> Location scouting with specific list from client via Google Maps & last minute in-person scouting

> Photography at two locations over one day

 

FINAL RESULTS

For the first location, we opted for a great downtown area with quintessential east coast brick buildings, a canal, and an urban park/amphitheater area. I was able to scout this out on Google Maps beforehand and in-person about 12 hours before our shoot.
For the second location, we chose a beautiful park with green grass, trees, fences, bridges, and a bunch of beautiful garden areas that offered privacy from other park-goers. I was able to scout it about one hour before the shoot!

I really loved that my client was on-set the entire time and it was really fun to work in new locations because it pushed my creativity. It’s easy to get into a set pattern when you shoot in the same location all the time but it’s a great challenge to find the perfect light and backgrounds in new ones!

My photos from this shoot are featured prominently throughout the Wellness Pet Company website. One is also the cover photo for the Wellness website.

I love this family of brands and am so thrilled to get to work with them.

Wyoming better move on over and make some room bec Wyoming better move on over and make some room because Montana now shares my heart. We spent 45 days in the western half of the state this year and I did NOT want to leave.​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​On our last day, Roxy and I sat out by the Gallatin River together. I sipped my morning tea, we listened to the birds, and watched a little squirrel eat a nut in the tree next to us. It was pure perfection.⁣

Photographing Rey and her mom among the red rocks was one of the highlights of our trip. Rey's beautiful brindle tones worked so perfectly with the red rocks and I just loved the happy, natural smiles both mom & pup had when they were together!
I absolutely loved this peaceful spot in Jackson H I absolutely loved this peaceful spot in Jackson Hole. Down a gravel road, away from the tourist crowds, the Teton range stood nobly in the distance while tall trees, yellow wildflowers, and a friendly little chipmunk called this hilltop home. This was such a special evening and Mother Nature's dramatic sunset is not one I'll soon forget.
