Where It Began

It all started when I picked up a camera again in 2018. With a love for all animals I immediately gravitated towards pet photography and enjoyed capturing our family dogs and horse.

With a small hiatus in the years, where I focused on automotive and product photography, I am now back to doing what I love most; capturing our 4-legged friends in stunning locations, to freeze memories for their owners.

When I’m Not Being A Photographer… 

You will probably find me in the gym, out on adventures with Raya, my German Shepard, reading somewhere quiet or if we’re really lucky, baking yummy snacks.

The Future

In the next year or so I hope to continue to build my portfolio in equine photography and also to continue to grow my canine portfolio as well.

I aspire to earn more awards and achieve greater recognition for my work. Learning is something I enjoy most so developing and growing my skillset will always remain a priority; delivering images of exceptional quality and staying up to date as the industry evolves.
