Just a creative mind out in the middle of nowhere dreaming up crazy ideas with my dogs
The real stars of the show are my dogs, but since you clicked on this page, I guess I had better say a few words about myself!
In 2023 I decided to get serious about photography after a dear friend asked me to take photos of a litter of puppies she was expecting in the next few months. I had done a session for her previously when I picked Dusty out from one of her litters, but I hardly knew anything about photography at the time. I decided for the new photoshoot to seek out some help. I stumbled across a You Tube channel run by the world-renowned pet photographer, Jess McGovern from the UK. Talk about a life changing experience. I quickly absorbed any and all info I possibly could from her and took all of her amazing courses. She not only taught me everything I know, she also encouraged me to really get out there and try competition. The rest as they say, is history. I don't think she'll ever know just how much she changed my life for the better. Thank you Jess. I couldn't have done it without you. I am blessed to be able to call you a friend.
I started off doing mostly outdoor pet portraits, but really was intrigued with studio work. Sadly, I had very little room to do this, so I was very limited at first. By shear luck, in early 2026 I was able to get a new piece of land that joined to my current property and had an off-grid hunting cabin on it. It was the perfect place for a dedicated photography studio!
Since then I have absolutley fallen in love with studio work and the endless possibilites to bring my ideas to life!
