After shooting hundreds of commercial properties, photographing numerous weddings and corporate events I still felt I had not found the perfect outlet for my passion for photography. Enter Oscar, the rambunctious, quirky expressive Jack Russell Terrier who stole my heart and inspired it all.

After following Oscar around the house with a camera strapped around my neck, I began to realize the enjoyment and satisfaction I received from documenting on film all the whimsy and charm this dog holds that makes him my own. With fever and fury I began to photograph every dog and cat I could get my camera close to. I developed a real knack for bonding with the animal and drawing out the individual qualities that make them unique. My intention is to capture those many sides to your pet's personality and to offer new insights into your most unique family member.

Thanks for visiting Paw Prints!
