A few years ago, after having our triplets A, B and C - my passion for photography was ignited and there was no stopping the wildfire spreading from my camera. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat... all I could think about in my "spare time" was taking pictures and devouring the manuals that came with my camera - sorting through videos and tutorials online and playing endlessly during nap time.
One day, we lost our beloved German Shepherd, Ruger - and the day after, it clicked. I wanted to honor his memory by taking pictures of people with their own beloved family dogs... spending time with dogs just like him and giving families the gift of their connection, recorded. And the more people I photographed, I realized it wasn't just animals that I wanted to capture - it was the emotion that I wanted to get; between a mom and her daughter, a family and their dog, a couple just recently married. I loved it all.
A portrait business was born, but I still had a passion for the natural world - the one that offered me so much valuable practice just years before. So, I kept at it, capturing the little things that are extraordinary in the everyday world - lifting them into the light so that they can be obviously seen and enjoyed.
