Photographer and author of the award-winning Photo Book Project photo book series (www.thephotobooks.com) Melissa McDaniel is returning to Wylie Wagg’s Tysons Corner location for one day only, Sunday, April 14, 2013. She’ll be photographing people’s dogs from 12pm to 5pm. The pet supply store is located at 7505 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church ,VA 22043.

The cost is a $25 donation that will be split between the store and Homeward Trails Animal Rescue. Money is made payable on the day for a 10-minute session. Photos will be uploaded to an online gallery after the event is over. At that time you may purchase prints a la carte. Print prices start at $18.75 for a 5″x7″.

Sessions must be booked in advance to ensure a spot! Please be sure to book ahead. Call 267.968.9973 or email info@melissashouse.com to make your reservation.

McDaniel has traveled the U.S. for the last three years to produce the photo book projects, a series of photo books, note cards, fine art prints, calendars and more, all raising awareness about issues affecting animals in the U.S. today, especially those animals who are mistreated or misunderstood. A percentage of the proceeds is donated to animal rescue & advocacy groups.

McDaniel says “I adopted my dog Sadie, who was born deaf, from my local shelter. After learning that thousands of deaf dogs are put down and millions of homeless dogs are put down each year, I knew I had to do something to raise awareness about this so that in the future all dogs like Sadie are given a chance at life.”
