HI

My journey to becoming a pet photographer was one of trial & error (more trial than error). I started photographing professionally in 2006. I've photographed, newborns, children, families, and boudoir. While I always loved photographing those sessions I never quite felt they were "my thing". Fast forward to 2010 when I volunteered to take photos of the adoptable animals at my local shelter. It was so bitter sweet. The dogs & cats were just fantastic. Sweet, loving, innocent animals looking for forever families. I loved capturing their fun, silly personalities. Suddenly it just clicked, "THIS is what i'm supposed to be photographing!" I have been an animal person all of my life. From my stray cat I had when i was 6, the animals that always followed me home, to the 3 dogs, 1 cat, ferrets, fish & hamster I have now. I loved being with them, I love helping them get rescue, I love photographing them. My approach to pet photography is very simple and calm. Let them get to know me, let them sniff around the area (if we are someplace other than your home) let them just be them, while I have a great time playing and capturing that fantastic personality.

Another year gone by..

It is amazing how quickly they grow up.. Even when they aren’t MINE! There is no way it was a year ago that I did Miss D’s 2nd Birthday photos.. And now we’re on year 3! We walked all over University Park, looking at flowers, standing on rocks.. She is a very good tour guide.

Miss D’s nickname is Monkey, she does the BEST monkey dance.. I may have to make a little montage of that to post later..

That outfit was just too cute to NOT post in color.. Those balloons were super fun. Definitely can’t be incognito with those!

Love your beautiful 3 year old faces.. Looking forward to next year. I hope it doesn’t come as quickly!
