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.

Animal Study Accreditation
The Animal Study Accreditation required me to submit 5 photos of each of 2 animals, showing a wide variety in poses, locations, and lighting conditions. I was fortunate to have had so many beautiful pets to choose from - the hardest part was choosing which two to use. Going back through my catalogue really drove home for me how many amazing clients I have, so many of whom have trusted me to capture their most precious pet memories not just once, but on multiple occasions!
It was important to me that I use client work, and not my own pets, which would have kind of felt like cheating (though not actually against the rules).
Image Manipulation Accreditation
