I grew up in Alberta spending my quality time on various farms and ranches of family and friends. The everyday life there included professional horses, cattle, pigs, working cattle dogs, working farm dogs and savvy working cats. We had horses and several dogs, including "adopting" a stray King Shepherd.
My Journey to becoming a Pet Photographer began when my cousin needed to rehome his Beloved Keeshond Coedi. This began many years of love and adventures and the start of vacationing with our dog. My need to take better photos of our little family led my husband to buy me my first DSLR.
Pets are Family and an important part of our lives. I am a retired Diagnostic Sonographer who did Medical Imaging before shifting to Photography. I have been a Photographer for 14 years but started Focusing on Pets in 2022. I strive to Provide Joy with the Creative Portraits that I take to provide families with memories of their pets.

Sports Photography
I started out as an athlete and now I photograph sports
I did take that one token class for Sports Photography
Sports is about timing and I'm largely self taught
I understand the hard work and training that goes into being an athlete.
You need to anticipate the next action of the athlete-it comes with EXPERIENCE
I understand the challenges that athletes face since I competed myself
What Make a Great Sports Photographer?
Being Able to Anticipate during the Competition and Knowing the Sport.
