After creating special relationships and experiencing different emotions with both of her dogs, Jessica realized that “taking pictures of other dogs, not just of my own, would help broaden my goal in creating an emotional adventure with dogs.” At the same time, she realized there are other dogs out there like Daisy that are not fortunate enough to find homes.
Her photo series “Project Let It Rain Love,” inspired by Daisy, features 40 shelter and rescue dogs. “It is based on the concept of dogs being in a drought without anyone showering them with love, and I wanted my photos to convey falling hearts to represent their need of someone to give them love,” Jessica says. Her idea worked! Not only did the series help get a lot of the dogs adopted, but one of her photos also raised enough money in an auction to pay for surgery on a dog’s back legs.
On a sad note, Chuppy passed away in March of this year. But Jessica is working on a photo book titled “The Art of Dog” inspired by Chuppy, and she plans to continue “Project Let It Rain Love,” traveling to different states to take pictures of dogs at more shelters and rescue groups to help find them a home.
