I am living proof that we are never "too old" to   pursue a passion in life.  Though I always loved to photograph, it was in my mid 40's that I decided to pursue my passion for photography further, with course study, and mentoring/working with experienced professional photogaphers.   With our children entering adulthood,  the time just seemed right! 

I love all aspects of photography, and find I am most in my element when working with children & pets, primarily dogs.   This comes naturally to me, having spent the last 20 years as a fulltime homemaker & mom, & also actively participating in the purebred dog fancy for several years.   I love kids, and I love dogs, and both usually sense this. 

My history with purebred dogs is certainly an asset when it comes to photographing animals.  Several years of experience training my own dogs and teaching Puppy Obedience classes allows me to assist in helping your dog relax by reading their

basic body language & knowing what steps to take to make this a positive experience for them.  Patience and a calm atmosphere is very important.  Along with obedience and draft/carting work, I have also trained & shown my own dogs in the Conformation Dog Shows, achieving several Best In Show Wins, and being amongst the top winning bullmastiffs in Canada for the years they were shown.  This experience has placed me in a position whereI  know how important it is to capture that “image” which best depicts the strongest qualities of your showdog, for the world to see.  And though not all of the dogs I photograph participate in dog shows, I know they are all winners to their owners, and to have that special photo for many years to come, is just as important!
