Experience

I have over 13 years’ experience working with and photographing dogs and I am the only Austin area dog photographer with a Master of Photography degree from the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). I also have my Photographic Craftsman degree , Certified Professional Photographer designation from PPA, and am one of the first nine animal photographers to earn the Master of Animal Imagery credentials from Animal Image Makers (AIM). In addition, I have a background in Animal Behavior, including a Bachelors and Master's degree in Anthropology, specializing in Primatology (Primate Behavior) from the University of Alberta.

Animal Advocate

I have had a deep appreciation and affinity for animals as long as I can remember. I value the lives of all animals, which is why I have been an ethical vegan and animal rights advocate for over 35 years. Dogs are amazing animals and unique in their ability to connect with humans. To earn the affection and loyalty of a dog is truly an amazing gift to be cherished. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and I think they are pretty much the most perfect animal on the planet!

Eco-Friendly

I believe that beautiful artwork does not have to come at the expense of the environment and other living beings. I also believe it is possible to create an ethical, compassionate, and sustainable world for everyone; humans and the animals with whom we share this planet. Green Paws Photography is the only Eco-friendly and cruelty-free photographer in the Austin area (and perhaps even worldwide). We offer our clients beautiful high quality, fine art products that are all animal and Eco-friendly. Learn More.
