Welcome
____________________________________________________________
Since I was a little girl, carrying home my first stray kitten wrapped in my sweater, animals have played a major role in my life. Sometimes I found them, and sometimes they found me.
The photography bug stung me when I was 10 and no one has found a cure.

FARM LIVING IS THE LIFE FOR ME!
I live on a farm in Northeastern Pennsylvania with magical beings: Bethy, Moe, Piper, Billie, Danny, Lilah and Luke are our seven rescued dogs; Gus, Harry, Matty, Barney and Luna are five feisty felines that allow us to live with them; we also have five horses (Pete, Pharaoh, Parker, Eagle and Roo) and seven chickens (William Penn, Amelia, Ivy, Speckles, Jasmine, Penelope and Freckles) . My furry family inspires me daily and keeps my creative juices at maximum levels.
BRINGING FURRY-TAILS TO LIFE.
I love to capture the real personalities of furry beasts. To that end, I have invested time in and out of classrooms, honing my skills and perfecting my craft. I spend a good deal of time each year in continuing education, specifically geared to pet photography. My goal is to find and capture the true spirit of your pet.
I CARE ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE!
As the owner of seven dogs with different ideas about "Sit," you need give me no explanation about what your pet will and won't do (and there is no use kidding ourselves about what cats think about photographers). Whether on location or in studio, my goal is a fun session geared toward a happy animal. That's why we will talk before we schedule a photo session. I can learn more about you and your furry friend, and you can ask questions as needed. Learning more about you and your pet helps me design a unique experience for both of you.
STUDIO OR ON LOCATION!
The new studio is up and running! The space is a wonderful outlet for creativity, and is designed to keep pets safe, happy, and relaxed as part of their (and your) experience. It also allows you to feel and touch end products, to see what your memories can become, whether a print, a canvas, an album, or a memory box, you will get to experience things up close, and not just see a catalogue item. The studio will be a comfortable place to sit and review your photos, make your selections, and decide how to best preserve your images. I am also available for off site photography at a location of your choice.
I don't just photograph pets. I love to photograph children and families too! AND, I can often be found taking candid photos at local events on the weekends.
