I am a young photographer based in the foothills of Colorado. I live with my seven sport/performance dogs - four Australian Shepherds and three Belgian Sheepdogs. I started taking pictures of flowers, bugs, landscapes, etc. on disposable cameras when I was just 5 years old. I was gifted a small digital camera for my 12th birthday and quickly found my love for dog photography. I have been doing dog sports for fun for about 6 years, and have been competing and trialing for over  two years. As a fellow competitor, I have an infinite appreciation for the training, the time, the blood, sweat, and tears that go into dog sports and dog ownership. My goal is to capture these special moments, those "once in a lifetime" shots, and mostly to showcase the bond and the connection between dog and handler.
