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.

My Craftsman of Photographic Arts Designation (CPA)
I’m so excited to announce that I have received my Craftsman of Photographic Arts designation (CPA) from the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC).
This designation is awarded based on a system of merit points earned through successful accreditations, having images perform well in the National Image Competition and voluntary service to the organization. So far, in less than 5 years, I have achieved 6 accreditations, have had 14 images score Accepted or higher in our National Image Competition, and have volunteered in a number of ways, not least of which serving on the Board of Directors in the Atlantic Region.
