Since I discovered dog photography, the trajectory of my life has greatly shifted. My current career focus revolves around capturing man's best friend in a way that will bring a smile to a person's face for years to come. I am passionate about the process from start to finish, which includes an emotional component along with the technical execution. From the moment I wake up until I enter a dream state, my thoughts are consumed with ideas about how to capture any dog in its true essence and purest form.
