It all started on an ordinary day when I was ten years old. My grandfather, without much thought, handed me something he no longer needed. To him, it was just an old Sony camera, but to me, it was the spark that lit a lifelong passion. Do you ever have those moments? You just KNOW that decision, moment, or gesture put you on a new path; the beginning of a new chapter. Or maybe you don't know right away, but you discover its significance years later. That's how it was for me when he placed that old Sony camera in my hands. From that day forward, I could not put it down. Capturing moments in time to enjoy eternally thrilled me to no end, and ignited a passion in me that has only grown with time.
Over the years, I’ve held countless cameras, gained knowledge, and honed my skill. I am continually inspired by our beautiful world and am addicted to travel, adventure, and exploration. Now, after serving 6 years in the Air Force, I’ve returned to photography with a renewed purpose: to tell the stories of pets and their people.
At the heart of my work is the belief that our pets are not just animals - they are family. Through epic outdoor and studio portraits, and tender last-chapter sessions when it’s time to say goodbye, I strive to honor the deep bond we share with them. I also offer one-of-a-kind Memorial Masterpiece Paintings, ensuring that the spirit of your beloved companion is celebrated in a way as unique as they are.
For me, photography is more than pictures - it’s preserving love, loyalty, and the magic of the four-legged (or winged!) souls who make our lives extraordinary.
