Photography Services

Utilizing natural lighting and settings at your home (or selected location), a comfortable familiar environment is maintained for your pets. Just me, my camera, some black and/or white backgrounds and portable lighting (if necessary)., let your "babies" do their thing and I will do the rest (I should say I do what they allow me to do). I like things to happen organically so it is important to let the photo session happen naturally. With this method, I am able to capture more natural movements and expressions. I spend a good part of the session just playing with your pets so they will become familiar with me and allow them to exert any extra energy they might be experiencing. It helps to have Mom and/or Dad around to help handle dogs or kitties and sometimes coax them into sitting or staying. Remember, patience is the key to getting just the right images. As a result, dogs get lots and lots of treat. They totally know what they are doing.

When it comes to cats, I just try to stay out of their way and shoot images without disturbing them. As a cat owner myself, I totally understand how cats operate.

So whether it is for business or pleasure, photo sessions are always a lot of fun. The dogs run us around and get lots of treats...they are in total control and they love it. There is nothing better than a pup or kitty discovering their inner supermodel....

So as not to discriminate against my fellow humans...of course, I photography people as well, be it with your pet, your family, individual portrait or professional headshots. I will go to your home or a selected location utilizing natural and available light to produce flattering editorial style images that you can proudly display.

Fine Art Photography is another essential part of my work. Still life, Botanical, Pet Art and Wildlife are all part of this facet of my work. These images are available as stock photography and individually framed art pieces. Check the PRODUCTS page for some of my latest work.

I use the latest in professional digital photography equipment. This amazing technology produces images that rival that of film photography. Utilizing Adobe Photoshop CS3, images can be transformed into stunning color, black & whites, sepia tone , desaturated (color toned) and/or color tinted photographs. In addition, photos can be transformed into pop art renditions so check out the RATES page for details on my POP ART graphic designs. With digital photography your photos can be viewed right after your session. I retouch and print every print that is ordered so your order is filled within 1 to 2 weeks depending on my workload and the size of your order. All your images in sizes up to 13 X 19 are personally edited and printed in my digital darkroom using the latest in Epson archival ink and paper. This printer produces amazing color and black & white images that rival any film processing. Larger images must be sent to the photo lab for digital processing. Custom products such as note cards, return address labels, calendars and mousepads to name a few can also be ordered.
