Exclusivity: At Green Paws Photography we exclusively photograph dogs, and that's it! My goal is to capture the individual personality and beauty of each animal and creating fine art portraits of your beloved dog. If you are like me, your dogs are part of the family; they hang out on the couch, sleep in the bed, go on vacation, enjoy special treats, and are loved beyond measure. You treasure every minute of the unconditional love they provide and will cherish those memories for a lifetime.

Experience: I have been working with and photographing dogs for over 12 years. I have worked with a variety of different breeds and personalities, as well as special needs dogs, such as blind, deaf, paralyzed, etc., and have extensive experience and knowledge of dog behavior, body language, and safety.

Education: I am currently the only Master Photographer in the Austin area that specializes in dog photography. I also earned my Photographic Craftsman degree through speaking and mentoring other photographers. In addition, I am a Certified Professional Photographer, and I am one of the first 12 animal photographers in the US to have earned the Accredited Professional of Animal Imagery. I have an academic background in animal behavior with a BA and MA in Anthropology, with a specialization in Primatology (Primate Behavior). My experience and keen interest in animal behavior, particularly dogs, has given me a considerable understanding and insight into their behavior, which allows me to work with dogs of all personalities and temperaments.

Expertise: Through education and print competitions, I am continually learning and improving my craft. I use professional cameras, lenses, lighting, and other equipment, so I can provide the highest quality images to my clients. Choosing a professional photographer that specializes in animals will help you get the best results. Your photographer should have experience working specifically with animals in order to create a safe and positive experience. A knowledgeable and experienced dog photographer will be able to engage with your dog and create stunning portraits that capture their beauty and personality.

Empathy: Animals are my passion, my life, and my world. I love to create beautiful artwork that celebrates the story of each dog and the unique place they hold in our hearts. I also understand the importance of capturing those special moments, so we can cherish those memories for years. Dogs are amazing animals and unique in their ability to connect with humans. I think dogs are pretty much the most perfect creature on the planet! I value the lives of all animals, which is why I am an ethical vegan and an advocate for animal rights. I believe it is possible to create an ethical, compassionate, and sustainable world for everyone; humans and the animals with whom we share this planet. I also believe that beautiful artwork does not have to come at the expense of the environment and other living creatures. My goal is to preserve your precious memories, while still preserving the environment.
