I’m a professional pet photographer based in Virginia who captures candid moments so that your pets can live forever through stunning wall art, beautiful books and prints.

Photography and pets are my passion. I promise a fun experience creating truly impactful images whether you have a handsome horse or hound, charismatic cat, or pretty parrot!

WHY USE a professional pet photographer?

You can get some good pictures on your phone but that’s usually where they stay. When you want to create beautiful art that expresses your pets’ true personality, you need a pro. I’ve honed my skills through years of study and experience, from the art of photography and animal communication to editing and post production.
