ME

Hi there! I’m a photographer located in the east San Francisco Bay Area and I love taking photos of dogs…But it’s so much more than that. Monk, pictured above, changed everything for me. He made me realize just how special a bond between a dog and a person can be. Dogs are these unbelievable, loyal creatures who love us unconditionally, and I love to document the spirit of a dog, and the bond we share with them.

I have an MFA in Photography from the Academy of Art University along with an MBA from UC Davis. I also have a Bachelor’s Degree from The University of Oregon. Apparently, I like school.

MY WORK

Dogs are my thing. My visual style is defined by soft light, bright, happy, love-filled images focused on the special spirit of a dog, and the bond we share with them.

My photography work has been shown nationally in galleries and publications such as:

  • The Center for Fine Art Photography (Fort Collins, CO)

  • The Black Box Gallery (Portland, OR)

  • The Lightroom Gallery (Berkeley, CA)

  • Cumberland Gallery (Nashville, TN)

  • Under the Gum Tree (print publication)

  • Lenscratch (online)

  • The Capital Artists’ Studio Tour (Sacramento, CA) *Curator’s pick as Featured Artist

  • Academy of Art Spring Show (San Francisco, CA)

Let’s see...what else do you need to know. I have fifteen-year-old twins, a husband who unconditionally supports my insanity, and Monk, of course. I love Adam Levine, Ted Lasso, sour patch kids and dogs. I hate squirrels, people who chew with their mouths open, anything to do with politics, Jada Pinkett Smith (I don’t really know why) and flying.
