MY CONNECTION
& LOVE OF ANIMALS
IS SO STRONG,
I DECIDED TO MAKE IT
MY CAREER

my precious Magnolia

I started photographing animals after losing my 8 year old Aussie, Magnolia, to cancer just 1 month and 4 days after adopting her from the shelter. When she passed, I realized I only had 2 photos of her. That’s when I decided that every pet owner deserves to have beautiful, everlasting portraits of their best friend.

poetic storyteller

My photography style celebrates authentic, imperfect, uninterrupted moments of everyday life–the good stuff! I’m often told that my portraits feel like stills from a movie, which is the greatest compliment I could hope to receive. I want you to feel like you’re witnessing and experiencing natural, raw emotions frame by frame.

pet people are my people

There is an unspoken connection between fellow pet lovers. You know, the ones with the cute dog voices. Or that special blanket for their dog at the restaurant. I can spot them a mile away. That’s who I love working with.

When I'm not photographing animals, you'll find me cuddling with my cats and watching the golden girls. My husband, Adolfo, and I have two cats (Indio & Willow), 1 dog (Abraham), and a Chinchilla (Paloma) who constantly keeps us on our toes.

the desert is my happy place

My everlasting love for Palm Springs runs deep. There is so much inspiration in the style, people and pets of the desert. I love to support and volunteer with local pet shelters, document special events, and connect with fellow pet lovers of the desert community.
