After 15 years as a stressed-out, corporate drone, I quit my job and raised a puppy. Then I got a camera. Life became meaningful and I became happy.

Animals have always been a part of my world; my greatest teachers and source of inspiration. They have taught me responsibility, the importance of understanding different perspectives, and how to “influence without authority”. Most importantly, they have taught me how to have unencumbered fun.

Photography has given me the means to capture the multidimensional beauty of these incredible non-humans. They are emotionally complex with their own unique personalities. And they are hilarious.

My goal is to show people that the animals we share our lives with are more than just pets. Animals are our friends, our companions, and our teachers. I hope my photographs express the uniqueness of each individual animal, as well as the joy and fascination I experience from interacting with these amazing beings.
