Some random facts about me: I adore photography. I would be lost without my supporters in the world of Facebook. My handsome Miniature Schnauzer, Remington, enjoys to howl and boy can he hold a tune. I am only 5 feet tall and may climb or stand on objects to achieve the perfect shot. You probably won’t ever find me without a camera nearby. I photograph adoptable dogs in as high as 100+ degree heat or negative 10 degree cold. There is no stopping my persistence. My passion is being a voice for the voiceless. I advocate for Pit Bulls. I am up for any challenge you may think your pet will be for me. Trust me when I tell you that I have seen it all! I have been scratched, jumped on, slobbered on and yes, even peed on – but this all comes with the job and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Even if your pet is camera shy or a bundle of energy, I promise your pet is capable of being photographed!
I studied Journalism and graduated from the University of Central Missouri in 2003. I always assumed I would be a reporter or a writer…. that’s all I had ever known my entire life. Little did I realize, my photography career would begin when I discovered a love for photo restoration in 2005. I found joy in repairing memories that appeared beyond hope at first glance. Then one day I had an epiphany and expanded to offer photography services, quickly learning pet photography is my ultimate passion.
My heart is especially happy when I am documenting the innocent spirit, unconditional love and unique personalities of our furry creatures. I have been an animal lover my entire life, growing up with Lhasa Apsos throughout my childhood. I support animal rescue organizations, participate in adoption events and offer my photography services complimentary to local rescues and shelters who needs assistance photographing their animals up for adoption. My work has been published in various magazines including: Dog Fancy, Life + Dog, 435 South, Fido Friendly, Bella DOG, Pet Home, Metro Pet, Dog Living and Kansas City Fitness. My work has also been featured on the covers of Happy Tails books. My presence in the rescue community has been highlighted in the Kansas City Star and NBC Action News.
I am a firm believer that every moment in life should be captured and preserved regardless of how insignificant it may seem, because someday these irreplaceable memories will be deeply treasured. I would love nothing more than to photograph your fur babies or restore your memories from the past. Feel free to drop me a line at fixyourimages@hotmail.com.
