How and why are dogs my specialty?


I’ve worked with thousands of dogs since 2018. From family dogs, working dogs, agility competitors, award winners, anxious and fearful dogs, disabled dogs and all of the pups in between. 


I’ve invested heavily in understanding canine behavior, body language, and temperament by attending annual pet photography conferences and workshops led by some of the best in the field.


I pride myself on noticing those moments that, years from now, will bring you right back to what it felt like to share your whole heart and world with them.



Some facts about me:

  • I have been a photographer since 2011 (exclusively pets since 2018)
  • I grew up in Sanborn, NY
  • I have two boys, born almost exactly ten years apart
  • My husband is an Army Veteran & my biggest fan
  • I have 3 pups. Opie, Chloe and Beans.
  • I bought my first horse with a credit card when I was 18
  • My favorite movie is The Jerk
  • My favorite thing to do is travel

When I was 12, I made my Grandma cry


It happened at the dinner table. My Mom showed her a candid photo that I took of her the week prior. Grandma HATED having her picture taken. But as it turns out, she only hated it when she knew it was being taken. She teared up as she told me she loved the photo and I was never more proud of something in my life.


Her reaction has stuck with me all these years later. Watching that very raw, emotional moment of someone's genuine reaction and excitement is powerful. Those moments are the driving force behind everything I do. So thanks, Gram!


Did I mention I LOVE to travel?!

So much so that I've created trips that anyone can come with me on! Check them out here!
