Shoot days with pets are the best shoot days. It’s always a wonderful time working with the volunteers of ARF Beacon and the annual Pics with Santa fundraiser is the perfect holiday activity.

This year, we decided it’d be great to bring in some additional storytelling as opposed to last year’s music only video. We gave some of the attendees the microphone to add some quick sound bites to share their excitement for Santa or tell the community how ARF impacted their lives. Overall, I’m happy with the decision and I feel it allowed the community to connect with ARF on a deeper level this time around. Next year, we’ll find a way to up the ante once again.

Thank you to everyone who made this video possible and if you’re able, please go support ARF Beacon’s mission.
