Earlier this year I photographed a golden retriever named Lani and I was excited to learn that her mom was training for The Olympics.

Commercial Photography - creating images used to sell, advertise or market a product. It’s so different from private client work but I love it.

This is Samsom. He was rescued in 2015 by my friend and fellow dog photographer Audrey who lives in San Diego and I loved him. I really do love all of the dogs I meet but some of them just get to me. Samsom was one of those dogs.
