For as long as I can remember, my life has revolved around caring for companion animals and nurturing the bonds they share with their human families - first as a vet tech, now as a pet photographer. This blog is where I will feature my fave pet photo sessions, share pet tips - including how to take better photos of your own pet, home decor and pet photo display ideas, news, updates, special events, and probably a lot of rambling about dogs and how awesome they are.

Then, in a burst of overconfidence, temporary insanity, and possibly too much wine, I also agreed to speak at the Professional Photographers of Canada - Atlantic Region Spring Seminar, 3 days after my other presentation!
