Where My Love for Animals Began
Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, cows, horses, pigs, goats, and more. My father worked at an animal shelter in Napa, California, where he and my stepmother dedicated their time to caring for animals in need. Our home was often filled with new rescues, each with their own story and personality.
Being raised in that environment gave me a deep appreciation for animals and the unconditional love they bring into our lives. As I grew older, I found myself wanting to contribute to animal welfare in my own way. Pet photography became a natural path—it allows me to celebrate the unique spirit of each animal while capturing the joy, authenticity, and bonds they share with their families.
For me, photographing pets isn’t just about creating images—it’s about honoring their place in our hearts and turning those fleeting, playful moments into memories that last a lifetime.

Pet Photography That Celebrates Your Best Friend
because every wag, whisker, and nuzzle deserves to be remembered 🐾
Preserving the Bond, You’ll Cherish for a Lifetime
Our pets aren’t just animals; they’re family. They’re the ones who greet us at the door, curl up beside us after a long day, and bring endless laughter with their silly quirks. Each has a personality all their own — full of energy, loyalty, love, or sometimes just a little mischief.
That’s why I believe they deserve to be celebrated. Through photography, I can capture the moments that truly reflect who they are — the sparkle in their eyes, the wag of their tail, or the way they lean in for a cuddle. These are the details that make them unforgettable, and the ones you’ll want to remember for years to come.
Pet Photography Session
Every pet has their own personality — some are playful and full of energy, while others are calm, gentle, or a little shy. During your session, my goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and at ease, so their true spirit shines through in the images.
I always take the time to get to know your pet before we begin. Whether that means offering treats, giving them space to sniff around, or letting them warm up at their own pace, I’ll adjust to what makes them happiest. Sessions are relaxed, flexible, and designed around your pet’s needs — no rushing, no stress.
We’ll capture a mix of portraits, candid moments, and action shots that highlight the little details you love most — the wag of their tail, the tilt of their head, or the way they curl up in your lap. And because pets are unpredictable (and that’s part of their charm!), I go with the flow to make sure every session feels natural and fun.
In the end, you’ll have a collection of beautiful, timeless images that not only celebrate your pet but also the bond you share together.
Investment
Every pet photography session is designed to create a meaningful experience for both you and your furry companion. My goal is to capture a mix of portraits, playful action shots, and candid moments that truly reflect your pet’s unique personality and the special bond you share. After your session, you’ll have the opportunity to view a carefully curated gallery of images. From there, you can select from a variety of ways to enjoy your portraits—whether that’s through custom wall art, keepsake albums, or fine art prints to cherish for years to come. These sessions aren’t just about photographs—they’re about creating memories, celebrating the joy your pet brings, and turning those fleeting moments into timeless artwork for your home.
