You could say I was born an animal lover. I had my first pet in the house, an adopted shelter dog, at four years old, but not before trying to befriend every create that crossed my path. Vivid memories remain in my mind of spending hours outside learning how to be quiet enough to not scare wildlife interests away, yet sly enough to observe them up close.

Photography came later as a teenager. Upon the arrival of my first child I began the journey into professional photography, first of people, now settling into my truest passion - animals.

Pet photography has allowed me to get closer to animals and their people I wouldn't have otherwise met. My goal is to create visual art with the potential to ignite a similar passion in my viewers.
