A conversation with Rise (rhymes with Lisa) Windell, Photographer at Windell Portraits.
In 2021, after losing her beloved black Lab Layla suddenly and unexpectedly, Rise found a way to channel some of the profound grief she was feeling. Since Labs are often known for being hungry food lovers, she remembered thinking “NO one should go hungry” so she set out to raise money for the Nourish Pierce County Food Banks, so far raising over $23,000.
Rise uses her PawPrints promotions periodically to raise money for the food banks. She is a pet photographer and PawPrints is the name she coined for a style of photography she does. To quote: “ I lie under a glass platform with my camera and photograph pets from underneath them for a unique perspective. I collaborate with Notre Dog Academy owner/trainer Stephanie Beausoleil. She positions the pets on the glass and gets them to look toward the camera for me. Lots of treats are involved. So much fun.”
Rise also loves to photography pets with their humans so that long after they have left us we will still have beautiful and heartwarming photos to help remember them.
