The Journey

I have hundreds of photographs of myself and my three children, all taken by their dad. It never occurred to me to learn the art of photography...way too busy. Now with an empty nest, I decided to volunteer at our local humane society walking dogs. The opportunity arose to fill in as a photographer and Santa stepped in with a digital camera and all the tools. Now I had everything except knowledge and that is where the fun began.

My passion is photographing animals

 Picture
Inspired by the beauty and resilience of homeless animals is where it started.
This photograph is of a dog that does not belong to me. Cora was a young shelter dog; a collie mix just days away from the unthinkable. She had been selected along with three of her shelter friends to be spared. This photograph that I took of her on her "freedom flight" was selected for the 2016 Pilots n Paws calendar.

My husband, a pilot, discovered  Pilots n Paws which consists of 5,000 pilots and 12,000 ground volunteers. In 2014 alone this 501(c)(3) transported over 15,500 animals.

I see beauty all around me
My style is clean, fresh and simple. I love white on white or black on black so the focus is on the image that you are capturing and not on the things that really don't matter. I see beauty all around me; beautiful children, beautiful families, and structures surrounded by the beauty of nature.
