It should be fun to have your picture taken! So, if it means I'll be sitting on the ground with your pet or child for the first few minutes, or letting your pet sniff my camera or my shoes (they always want to do that!) ~ it's okay with me! I am one of the most patient photographers you will ever meet. So, if you've tried to take pictures of your own dog while it runs toward you or you have a child with special needs, you've come to the right photographer. For people and pet portraits, here are some great areas we like to use!

I also do photo retouching and special effects--like putting a dog in a flower. So if you have a special photo that needs a little something extra, tell me about it and we'll go from there. To see some of my favorite special effects, choose the link "special effects" above.

Lots of people ask me if we have pets of our own. Yes! We have our Papillon, Annie and a little rescued Dachshund mix puppy named Fraulein Maria. They each have their own Web presence on my Show Me page, along with other things I'm always getting myself into.
