August is Here!

As summer comes to a close in Midlothian, many of us are enjoying last-minute vacations and starting back-to-school shopping for our kids. Whether they're heading to grade school or college, change is in the air. Even our furry friends are sensing the adjustments to new schedules and routines. Speaking of furry friends, we’re excited to present the 2024 Kids and Pets issue!

We've had a fantastic time putting together this edition for you! From a skilled local pet photographer to a well-established dance studio and business partnerships, we have so much to appreciate.

On a more personal note, stay tuned on the upcoming pages to meet my new roommate (Hint: he's a fluffy white, super dashing, smart, four-legged dynamo)! He's definitely part of my chosen family, and I am so grateful.

We wish you a smooth transition to new schedules, enjoyable family dinners, lots of hugs, and plenty of encouragement as new opportunities arise to help us learn and grow. You are the reason we are here, and we could not be prouder of our community. Thanks to you, RVA is now nationally recognized as the Best American Town to visit in 2024 by CNN.

Enjoy these last summer days together, and let's look forward to the adventures to come!

WHO’S THIS KID?

Introducing Midlothian’s Newest Four-Legged Phenomenon

Hi! My name is Jocko Paden Swart, and I’m new to the neighborhood! I’m a 10-week-old West Highland White Terrier, but you can call me a Westie for short. I was born in Pendleton, South Carolina, and I’m now settled in at my new home in Midlothian. You might recognize my last name— that’s because my new dad is the publisher of this magazine! My dad and I share an extraordinary bond because we both understand the warmth and love of being embraced by chosen families.

My breed is from Scotland, and all of us Westies have beautiful snowy white coats.

My dad says I’m a quick learner and that I’m adventurous. We both love to run and exercise, and we cannot wait until I’m old enough to hit the trails together. I enjoy making new human friends and spending time with their furry companions. I’m so happy to be here and looking forward to exploring together. My dad says RVA is brimming with culture, cuisine, and creativity. I’m excited to meet some of you very soon!

CAPTURING YOUR PET’S PERSONALITY WITH RICHMOND’S BELOVED PET & EQUINE PHOTOGRAPHY

Amanda Rae Linas discovered her love for art and animals at a young age. While studying art in college, she worked as a dog groomer and pet care technician, gaining invaluable experience interacting with animals. After graduating, she pursued teaching and further developed her interest in photography. Amanda’s ambition led her to become a high school photography teacher at Douglas Freeman High School in the West End of Henrico. As she refined her photography skills over the next eight years, she also began volunteering at a horse training center, where she learned more about working with horses. It was during this time that she decided to turn her passion for photography and animals into a full-time career.

“After considering what type of photography I wanted to pursue, pet and equine photography made sense,” Amanda explains. “I always found myself drawn to taking pictures of animals. I love traveling and realized that even while in a beautiful place halfway across the world, I would find myself taking pictures mostly of cats and dogs. So, I prayed about it, and Beloved Pet and Equine Photography was born. I get to photograph pets and horses, along with their people and the beautiful landscapes around them. To me, that’s perfect.”

When Amanda started her photography business, she didn’t realize the significant impact it would have on the families she worked with. Over the last three years, she has come to understand just how much of a blessing it is to capture the bond between pets and their families. Amanda has listened to heartwarming stories from her clients about the support and companionship their pets provide. Additionally, she has been there to help them preserve memories, offering gallery-quality artwork, memory books, photo displays, as well as digital images and video capture. In more difficult times, Amanda has been able to provide comfort by offering legacy sessions with special touches like paw prints and photo frames. Her clients are grateful for the lasting memories she captures for them.

Speaking fondly about her profession, Amanda believes photography is the art of telling a story with an image. “I love that nothing will ever be the same twice,” Amanda says. “There is always something new to photograph, learn, see, and experience. It’s about telling a story and capturing a moment in time. That moment I captured will never happen exactly like that again.” The art of seeing, as described by Amanda, is photography, which allows you to witness something unfolding in front of you, capturing it at just the right moment. As an adventurer, photography gives Amanda the privilege of exploring the world around her and meeting new animals and people.

“I get to photograph pets and horses, along with their people and the beautiful landscapes around them. To me, that’s perfect.”

- Amanda Rae Linas

Although fun, snapping photos of adorable and cuddly animals does not come without its hurdles. “Working with animals is all about patience and being able to adapt,” Amanda says. To appropriately prepare, she always meets with clients before the photo session to learn more about them and their pets. She tailors her plan and adjusts her approach based on each pet’s needs. Amanda offers a complete experience through Beloved Pet & Equine Photography, guiding clients from start to finish to ensure a seamless process. She helps with attire, preparing pets or horses, and selecting the best images to alleviate potential stress for her clients. Amanda focuses on allowing clients to enjoy celebrating their beloved animals while she handles everything else. She provides studio and on-location sessions, which are ideal for smaller pets such as cats. Her attention to detail and commitment to offering high-quality products make her services truly stand out. Whether you have a cherished pet or a majestic horse, Amanda is there to capture their beauty and create lasting memories for you to treasure.

DANCING TOWARD CONFIDENCE AND GROWTH

ARTICLE BY JOANNA TANNENBAUM | PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATIE KRAFT PHOTOGRAPHY

THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF LEGACY SCHOOL OF DANCE, SHARED BY A DEVOTED DANCE MOM

Legacy School of Dance is alive with the rhythm and energy of passionate dancers. Nestled in the heart of Midlothian, the dance school embodies the spirit of togetherness and artistry in every twirl and every beat. With its roots deeply intertwined with the community, Legacy School of Dance is more than just a place to learn the art of movement – it’s a home where kids come together to express themselves and build lasting connections through the universal language of dance. Midlothian Lifestyle interviewed dance mom Tarsha Adkins to hear about her experience with the studio. Here’s what she had to say!

YOUR DECISION TO CHOOSE LEGACY FOR YOUR CHILDREN’S DANCE EDUCATION IS A TESTAMENT TO YOUR COMMITMENT TO THEIR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. WHAT FACTORS LED YOU TO MAKE THIS CHOICE OVER OTHER STUDIOS?

First, Legacy has highly experienced and skilled instructors who are dedicated to teaching various dance styles. The studio also has a great reputation for excellence in dance education and offers a diverse range of classes, from classical ballet to contemporary jazz. Legacy focuses on personal growth and self-confidence through dance and provides a supportive and inclusive environment for all dancers. Additionally, the studio’s convenient location fits well with our family’s schedule, and their values and teaching philosophy align with our family’s beliefs and goals for our children’s dance education and character development.

WHAT ARE THE VALUES AND COMMUNITY CREATED BY THE OWNERS OF THE DANCE STUDIO?

The owners, Kimberly Ligatti and Mary Farr-Maynard, share a passion for dance and align with our family values, fostering a positive and inclusive environment. They have created a community of supportive and diverse dancers where they motivate, support, and inspire all.

WHAT MAKES LEGACY DIFFERENT FROM SIMILAR BUSINESSES?

Legacy has a solid commitment to excellence, innovative programs, and community engagement, as well as a strong dance curriculum. By integrating these components, Legacy creates a distinctive and rewarding environment.

FROM YOUR TIME AND OBSERVATION AT LEGACY, WHAT AGE DO YOU THINK IS BEST FOR KIDS TO START DANCE CLASSES?

Even though both of my girls started at two years old, there is no ideal age to start dancing. The best age depends on the individual’s interests, physical development, and goals. Ultimately, starting dance at any age can be beneficial and rewarding, with each stage offering unique opportunities.

WHAT QUALITIES CAN BE OBSERVED IN THE INSTRUCTORS AT LEGACY?

They are passionate, enthusiastic, motivated, flexible, creative, and positive.

HOW DOES LEGACY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR ITS DANCERS AND DANCE FAMILIES?

The studio fosters a strong sense of community, from fun events like an annual pool party and trunk-or-treat to special holiday celebrations. The seasonal decorations and themed gala events add a festive touch, while parent meetings inform families about studio news. Communication is key, with open lines through emails and social media updates. The studio also provides volunteer opportunities and celebrates dancers’ achievements with awards and certificates. Legacy prioritizes creating a welcoming environment where dancers and their families feel valued and supported.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT SURPRISES YOU ABOUT LEGACY’S APPROACH TO DANCE INSTRUCTION?

How they manage to maintain their creativity is truly mind-blowing!

WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE STAFF AT LEGACY?

My experience with the staff has been filled with deep gratitude for the profound impact they have had on my daughters, especially Kim Ligatti and Taylor Dundlow. Their influence has gone far beyond dance instruction. Their support is always unwavering, and their ability to connect with my daughters, provide mentorship, and offer encouragement has profoundly benefited their growth and development. The relationships developed with Kim and Taylor will last forever, as their positive impact on my daughters’ confidence and overall development is truly remarkable. I cannot thank them enough for their dedication and the difference they have made in their lives.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THEM IF SOMEONE ASKED YOU ABOUT ENROLLING THEIR CHILDREN AT LEGACY?

Legacy is an exceptional place where my girls have thrived. The studio fosters a supportive and inclusive community, and the personalized attention each dancer receives has been incredibly beneficial for my daughters. They’ve grown not only as dancers but also as confident individuals. The communication with parents is excellent, and the dance instruction and curriculum are topnotch. I’ve seen tremendous positive changes in my girls, and I’m confident any child would have a similarly wonderful experience.

Registration is now open for the 2024-2025 dance season. Visit legacyschoolofdance.com to join the Legacy family.

“THE PERSONALIZED ATTENTION EACH DANCER RECEIVES HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY BENEFICIAL FOR MY DAUGHTERS.” - TARSHA ADKINS

CITY LIFESTYLE PARTNERS EMBARK ON THEIR JOURNEY INTO PARTNERSHIP

In today’s competitive business environment, it’s crucial to recognize the importance of collaboration and referrals. Paul Hearn from Dog Training Elite and Morgan Parker from Zoomin Groomin, both prominent businesses in the pet industry, have recently partnered to form an alliance, illustrating the significant advantages of working together. They are confident their union will lead to growth and valuable insights, inspiring others in the industry to follow suit.

For Paul, working together is not just a strategy; it’s a key to his business’s success. He has built a network of trusted partners by aligning with businesses that share his values and customer-centric approach. One of his most successful collaborations is with Linda Tew at the Midlothian pet store Bark and Sparkle. This partnership has not only enhanced the services he offers to his clients but has also opened doors to new clientele. The power of referrals from other businesses has been instrumental in building trust in his brand and driving its growth.

Morgan’s approach to teamwork is a testament to the power of social media in the modern business landscape. She leverages her clients and friends as brand advocates, considering factors such as reviews and social media presence in her collaboration decisions. One of her most fruitful partnerships is with Dr. Erin Dexter Buikema at Capital Home Veterinary Care, a mobile veterinary service. Morgan believes Dr. Dexter’s endorsement has been a game-changer for Zoomin Groomin, and the synergy between the two businesses is unparalleled.

“Paul and Morgan are excited about their new partnership as they explore collaborative business strategies.”

DOG

SOCIALIZING

“Socializing your dog is beneficial for both dogs and their owners,” says Taryn Tyler, a certified dog trainer. “It creates confidence for both dogs and owners and displaces the anxiety we feel when our dogs aren’t behaving like we want them to.”

Taryn stresses that teaching a dog to sit or stay is less about tricks and more about the relationship that builds between animal and owner. “We all love our dogs, but they can be stressful when they can’t seem to click in our home environments.

• Socializing is more than taking your dog in public. A guy can dump a bunch of mulch in your driveway and spread it, but he’s not a landscaper until he’s following a plan. When the doorbell rings or a visitor comes into the house, what’s our expectation for the dog? When we’re in public and the dog’s attention is diverted, what’s our plan to refocus them? Socialization is 99 percent working on small steps as part of a larger plan.

• Socializing isn’t about our dogs being the center of attention in public. Everyone loves seeing a dog, but our best outcome for the dog is to go unnoticed. Sitting by our side, ignoring external stimuli, remaining calm—those are things we strive for when socializing a dog.

• When socializing dogs with other dogs, start small. Take a walk with another dog to get them to just exist in the same vicinity. Once they’re able to not be excited by the other dog, work on limited playing in controlled environments.

• If someone comes into your home, let them know what boundaries you’re working on with your dog. You can even suggest asking them to carry a few treats and work on some of the behaviors your dog is already comfortable with.

HOW TO THROW A BIRTHDAY BASH FOR YOUR FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS:

Once your dog is able to socialize with other pets, playdates are a great way to encourage good play behavior. One way to celebrate your pup’s birthday is to celebrate with their favorite furry friends. Here are a few helpful tips for making your gathering a success.

• Set up play areas for your furry guests to enjoy. This can include a doggy pool or splash pad, chew toys, frisbees, and don’t forget the pet-friendly bubbles.

• Offer party guests birthday attire such as a birthday hat, bandana or party outfit. Set up a photo wall for pet owners to get photos with their furry friends in their birthday outfits. Better yet, make it a costume competition, and invite guests to come dressed up ready to show off their pup’s attire.

• Create a treat display with a pet-friendly birthday cake and various chewy snacks for guests to give their pups.

• Party favors are a must to end your festivities with a bang. Fill party bags with bouncy balls, treats, and pet-friendly bubbles to send your guests off with a smile.
