I never realized how many dogs would touch my heart until I became a pet photographer. I only meet each pet briefly, but they become extremely special to me for a lifetime.  Over the years, I have been sent many emergency requests to photograph terminally ill or aging senior pets.  I will drop anything and […]

Many aspiring photographers reach out to me for advice on how to begin their business, develop their client base and what to expect along the way.  I love helping others because professionals in the photography business did the same for me when I started my journey in 2005.  Along the way, I’ve also been behind the […]
