The photography is complete, the stories have been written, the book is laid out and the cover voting has ended. It's been a busy year, but the fundraiser has been hugely successful! Collectively, we were able to raise just over $22,000 for our beneficiaries. This wouldn't have been possible without YOU.
Bob Dylan Mural (5th Street and Hennepin Ave)
The vibrant Bob Dylan mural is the largest work of public art that world-renowned street artist Eduardo Kobra has created in the United States to date. It is also the most Instagrammed image in Minnesota. This five-story tribute to Bob Dylan was created in the fall of 2015 as a private commission.
TAILS OF MSP FUNDRAISER
This fundraiser includes 100 sessions photographed in the MSP metro area. A variety of locations photographed throughout the seasons showcase our city and it's 4-legged residents. The "Tails of MSP" book includes an image from each session featured on it's own page spread along with a "tale" about the pets and accompanying information about the location.

Old Cedar Avenue Bridge, Bloomington
Back when the old structure was the main crossing, heavy traffic delays would occur because of the bridge's small size and the need to operate the swing segment to let boat traffic pass.

SESSION DETAILS
Schedule your session directly with Tangerine House of Design. Your initial investment of $250 will include your pet's session, a $75 donation to the beneficiary, a 7x10 photographic print of your selected book image, and a copy of the finished book itself. Your session location can be chosen from a list we have compiled or you may suggest somewhere in the MSP metro area that has meaning to you.
You will schedule an initial phone consultation to discuss details of your desired location and who will be photographed. Your session time will be scheduled during this phone call. Sessions typically take place shortly after sunrise and later afternoon when the light is best for outdoor photography. Because sunrise and sunset times change throughout the year, we will look at these times when scheduling your session.
*Please note: if your location requires additional photography permit fees, you will be responsible for that fee.
