My passion for photography and animals began at an early age in Leeds, England: I’ve had hamsters, budgies, dogs, and horses, and even a tortoise called Tumpy who’s still going strong at 50+ years! I’m puppy momma to Minnie, who is the last remaining wiener from our pack known as the ‘3 M’s’ (Mitzie, Monty, and Minnie) whom we adopted in India, where my husband, Tom, and I lived for nine years. And I’m horse momma to handsome chestnut Canadian Warmblood, Mango.

I’ve created memories for pet parents on three continents and worked for corporate clients such as doggie day care centers and groomers, to national and international newspapers, photographing everything from the Westminster Dog Show to the NYC Halloween Dog Parade.

I honed my photography skills with some of the world’s greatest photographers, and studied everything from the art and science of image making and professional printing to animal communication. I am an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society.

My work has featured in national and international newspapers and has been internationally awarded and exhibited including a prestigious World Press Photo Award for my ‘Hounds of Hope’ series.

When I’m not wearing my photography hat, I wear my riding hat at Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center where I work as a PATH Intl. Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor and PR/Social Media director (a nod to my former 20+ year career in Public Relations in London/NYC).
