My approach

Before I ever dreamed of becoming a dog photographer, I had Sophie—my golden retriever, my heart dog, and one of my biggest comfort during life’s messiest moments. She had a sixth sense for my emotions and a very specific weakness for Aldi croissants. When we lost her to cancer, it hit me hard—but what stuck was the regret: I didn’t have any photos that truly captured her spirit. That gap became my mission. Today, I create the kind of images I wish I had of Sophie—photos that feel like your dog, so their story is never left untold.

Before this was a career, it was a calling. I spent years volunteering at animal shelters, photographing everyone from timid souls who’d never known kindness to wiggly puppies who peed on my shoes (but no hard feelings, haha!). That experience taught me how to notice every little personality and shaped the way I work today: with gentleness, joy, and loads of patience. “Hard to photograph” pup? Never met one. However your dog shows up, I’ll help them shine—because every dog deserves to be seen, and your story deserves to be told.
