2010 Fashion for Paws :: Washington, DC

I’m so excited to share some of my favorite images from one of my favorite events of the year: Fashion for Paws, a cutting-edge fashion show for model fundraisers, local celebrities and doggy models, all benefitting the Washington Humane Society. I’ve been shooting this event since the first year and it keeps getting bigger and better. All told, the event raised over $320,000 to benefit the much-needed programs of the Washington Humane Society. This post has a ton of images, so let’s get to it:
