about me

S

I was the kid who brought strays home and immediately gave them a bath in the tub. Since then I've spent 35 years of my life working in the pet services industry. When I met my husband Joe who is also a pet lover we both agreed that we would always have pets I won't bore you with why, because if you are here reading this, then you already know.

12 years ago we realized w have so many amazing stories to tell! Why not photograph them? Love, laughter, rescue, reunions, beginnings, bittersweet endings, and sometimes flat out heartbreak. Thing is, it's always worth it. When we look at a clawed or chewed piece of furniture or that unfortunate vet bill it doesn't matter, we still love them. They are absolutely worth it.

Offering my services as a pet photographer was a natural next step in my career with dogs and cats and it's opened up a whole new world of opportunities to enjoy their company. I especially love to take dogs outdoors and photograph them in natural settings. It is always a nice time and a little adventure.

We strive to keep our session fun and stress free. Pet Photography should be a fun experience and you get the best expressions when you do. At home or on location they alway look cute, let's face it because they are!

For the years of 2012 - 2014 I was honored to be awarded Pet Photographer of the year from the Professional Photographers of San Diego County. Yet very truly, my reward is what I get to do. I absolutely love it and I am excited by each and every request I receive to photograph someone's beloved pet. I do strive to continualy learn and educate myself in my craft and promote professionalism in my trade. I am PPA Certified Professional Photographer and an active member of the Professional Photographers of America, Professional Photographers of San Diego County, and Inland Empire Professional Photographers and Videographers.
