I am a dog lover first.
A photographer second.
By some random chance of fate, I was able to combine the two loves into the coolest job ever: A Dog Photographer
I grew up in a family where dogs were always an integral part of our lives and most importantly, members of the family. Most of my childhood was spent with various Basset Hounds of the lovable but extremely stubborn variety. We never had less than 2 at any given time, sometimes 3, and the occasional stray that one of us would bring home for a visit.
After a short stint doing portrait work, which I still love, I realized my true calling is capturing the essence and personality of dogs. Upon reflection, I feel that my time doing portrait work was not wasted. Because of it, my experience with portrait work flows beautifully into working with people and their dogs.
My husband and I are owned by the fabulous Miss Gracie, a 5 year old Great Dane who brings energy and life into our house. You’ll see her around here a lot, she loves having her portrait taken (at least I like to think so). She is a complete Diva and if you stick around long enough, you'll know what I'm talking about!
What an amazing adventure this has been so far. I’m so glad you are here experiencing it with me.
How am I lucky enough to get to photograph yet another Goldendoodle puppy? I just don’t know.
Abby is just 12 weeks old but I think it is safe to say she is already a Mama’s girl. You can just instantly see their connection. It’s a beautiful thing.
If you’re thinking to yourself “This doesn’t look like Seattle?” well then you’re right! We were East of the mountains near the town of Coulee City.
Here are a few of my favorite spreads. Her entire story can be seen on my website!
- great pictures, and wow what a beautiful location!
- Great photos....I love all the ones of him giving his Mama kisses! That last one is beautiful too! :)
- wow. incredible location! Is it close enough to you to be able to use again? Abby is just flat out precious as well. I love the jumping shot!
