Professional boutique portrait photographer Jennifer L. Codeluppi, owner of Studio 47 Portraits in Charleroi, had an image selected for display in an International Art Show.
The Simply Me Pets photography project was created by the Photography Business Institute to feature excellence in portraiture and entrepreneurship.
The Art Show was held on Sept. 16 in Springfield, Ill.
“I’m so excited for my client’s dog, Hazel. Having Hazel’s portrait showcased internationally is deeply meaningful to me, not only as an artist but as someone who believes strongly in the value of rescue stories. Photography has the power to tell stories words sometimes cannot, and Hazel’s portrait tells a story of strength, healing, and love that transcends her circumstance,” Codeluppi said.
Hazel’s story
Hazel was found by a local police officer running along a busy road, injured and in need of help. She had a puncture wound to her head and eye, most likely from another animal.
Despite the trauma she endured, this little pup was full of sweetness and resilience. She was taken to a local veterinary clinic, where she was
given emergency care.
Thankfully, her health was stable, though her injury was so severe that she ultimately lost her eye.
But Hazel’s story doesn’t end in tragedy; it blossoms into one of love and second chances. She was adopted by the parents-in-law of the veterinary technician who first cared for her, and from that moment on, Hazel knew what it meant to have a forever family.
Her forever home is with Robert and Marilyn Carson of Fallowfield Township.
“We are incredibly proud and thrilled to announce Jennifer L. Codeluppi, a talented photographer from Charleroi, has been selected for the prestigious International Art Show. This selection is a testament to the dedication, creativity, business quality and vision that define the photographers from the Photography Business Institute who are featured in this show. It is moments like these that remind us of the profound impact art can have. Congratulations to our gifted artist for this well-deserved recognition,” said Sarah Petty, founder of the Photography Business Institute.
A staff photographer at the Mon Valley Independent, Codeluppi’s family includes her husband, Dan, their children Madison and Ethan, and her parents, Wayne and Joyce Ray, of Fallowfield Township.
