Photography honoring your faithful friend or those most beloved to you, delivered in sophisticated fashion.
My photography style focuses on capturing a blend of emotion, interplays of shadow and light both in my natural light captures and studio lighted images with a fine art finish that will stand the test of time.
It is important to evaluate my style and approach to make sure it resonates with what you envision for your images.

Blending documentary rawness and emotional quality with artistic intentionality, my style consists of lightly composed photography while documenting genuine interactions and expressive spontaneity with lighting that best highlights mood and personalities. Documenting lives in front of me with this hybrid approach to both emotional truth and aesthetic beauty, my work carries lasting rich emotional value, resulting in luxurious art products and decor for your living/office space or online showcasing. For the last 18 years, my photography experience is interwoven with quite a life story while shooting just about any genre of human portraiture, across numerous emotional spectrums, and after all this time, this approach and skill has remained my specialty and service. I am available to be inquired with regarding other portrait or live action branding work.
I am North Carolina born and raised, but life has brought me to the state of Texas and I now reside and work in Austin. I started photographing animals in 2008 when my business originally started in Asheville, although I began professional portrait work in 2006. I am here and available to provide you full service photography, from planning to print production, with personalized care. I would be delighted to create an elegant, soulful portrait of your animal that will make your heart sing, and to give you in hand sophisticated imagery authentic to you as either a private pet owner or your service in the animal care industry. Every pet deserves a portrait that mirrors the worth of their presence in your life.
DOCUMENTARY/LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY MEETS FINE ART.
My intentional blending of life authentically with artistic composition.
Truthful observation with intentional staging that feels natural, not artificial.
Adventurer
Whether it is traveling, camping, challenging hikes, horseback riding, zip lining, I enjoy adventuring!
Travel
I have a thing for nature and history. I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to travel and see some breathtaking sights, experience different cultures and see where history took place. What is most fascinating to me is natural beauty like Cliffs of Moher in Ireland or seeing the Alps, the Redwoods, Antelope Canyon, sights that keep me in awe of God’s handiwork! Also, being able to set foot on some historical sites like being inside the Colosseum or the Sistine Chapel, taking a ride to the top of the Eiffel tower to overlook Paris, visiting World War II historical sites in Holland, and Mayan ruins in Mexico. To feel what it’s like to be there doesn’t compare to seeing it in pictures or reading about it, it’s truly been impactful to see these places. I will say hand feeding kangaroos in Australia was a very cool experience! I keep a bucket list of future places I hope to see like Iceland or New Zealand although I don’t know that I will get to visit but you never know.
Dogs! Dogs! Dogs!
Yes, I have a sweet spot for animals, that’s a given, but with that comes years upon years of experience with dogs in particular in various arenas. I have seemed to find myself in forms of work involving dogs from holistic nutrition experience, water treadmill rehab, and a lot of dog sitting between Asheville, San Antonio and Austin. I am proficient in knowing canine body language and mannerisms, and careful to look out for their well being, and I bring that experience into my portrait sessions.
