My Story
When I was a kid, you'd often find me teaching my little dog Joey tricks like spinning, walking on his hind legs, or even "saying" mama. He was a smart little guy, and I only wish I had more photos and videos of those moments. Many of those memories are lost to time.
That's what taught me how important it is to capture what matters. I'm grateful my parents took so many photos of family, everyday moments, and loved ones. After digitizing and restoring my own childhood memories, I can now share them easily, and the joy it has brought to my family has been incredibly meaningful.
Today, I focus on creating lasting memories of the pets who aren't with us nearly long enough, and preserving the old ones so they can be shared again.
My Approach
I believe the best photos come from relaxed sessions where everyone—pets included—feels comfortable. That's why I work at your pet's pace, with plenty of treats and breaks.
Every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to learn what makes yours special. Whether they're energetic and playful or calm and dignified, I capture who they really are.
My goal is to create an environment where authentic moments happen naturally. The posed portraits are nice, but it's those in-between moments that you'll treasure most.
A Passion for Preservation
Beyond pet photography, I'm passionate about helping families preserve their cherished memories. Those shoeboxes of old photos? They're irreplaceable treasures that deserve to be protected.
I've seen the joy on clients' faces when they see a damaged, faded photo brought back to life. Or when decades of family photos are finally organized into a digital archive they can share with loved ones across the country.
Whether it's digitizing your grandmother's photo albums or restoring a water-damaged wedding portrait, I treat every image with the care it deserves.
