If it doesn’t tell a story, it’s just a picture.

A portrait should answer something.

Who loves whom.

Who protects whom.

Who depends on whom.

When we plan a session, we don’t start with poses.

We start with the story.

That’s what lasts.

Beauty isn’t found in perfection.

Children wiggle.

Dogs don’t sit perfectly.

Wind moves hair.

That’s not something to fix.

It’s something to honor.

The most meaningful portraits are rarely the most posed ones.

They are the ones that feel true.

You don’t need 200 photos.

Some families want albums.

Some want collections.

And some want one.

One large piece of wall art that anchors a room.

That stops you for a moment every time you walk by.

That becomes part of your home.

You don’t have to be “into photos.”

You just have to value one story done well.

That’s enough.

The biggest regret I hear?

“I thought we had more time.”

Dogs don’t age gradually.

It feels slow — until suddenly it isn’t.

You don’t need to wait until they are slowing down or sick.

Photograph them when they are strong.

When their eyes are bright.

When their personality is fully themselves.

Those are the images you’ll hold onto later.

Spring sessions are open.

Do you all realize many, very many, photographers use editing software in a “cloud” where your images can be mined for training purposes for AI? Maybe you don’t care, but many people do, especially about private images of themselves or their children. I do not do this. I use non-cloud based programs on my computer to edit. Your images are safe with me.

Some places stay with you.

Years ago we stopped at a river in British Columbia, surrounded by mountains and a kind of quiet that makes the whole world feel larger than your daily life. No one else was around.

When I started this painting, I realized it was the perfect place to put two of my favorite traveling companions.

Leo, our unexpected COVID rescue puppy.

And Maggie, now nine and a half, who just came through surgery this week and is slowly healing.

Dogs mark time in our lives in a way nothing else does.
They are there through chapters we never expected — the uncertain ones and the beautiful ones.

This painting ended up being less about the landscape and more about the journey.

Two small lives standing beside us in a very big world.

And the quiet joy of the years we get to walk through it together.

If you had a painting of your dog or cat anywhere in the world, where would that be?

Yes, I still have your images.

One of the promises I make to clients is that your portraits don’t disappear.

If we worked together years ago and:

• you need a reprint

• you want to update your wall art

• you never ordered that album you meant to

• or your dog’s portrait suddenly means more than it did at the time

Reach out.

I archive and protect client work carefully.

Sometimes the most meaningful portraits are the ones you already created.

I have an new blog out today dealing with that moment dreaded by every dog owner. I have some helpful information including links for services. Please repost, pass this on to other pet owners who could use this information:

There is a moment many pet parents dread. The diagnosis. The quiet shift in the room. The words, “We don’t have much longer.” If you are here because you’ve just heard something like that, I am so deeply sorry.

I didn’t disappear. I stepped back.

The past year required me to pause more than I ever have.

But something became very clear during that time:

The portraits that matter most are the ones we think we can wait on.

I’m reopening my calendar this spring with a slower, more intentional pace — for families, children, and dogs.

If you’ve worked with me before, I would love to see you again.

If you’ve been quietly following along, this may be the perfect season to begin.

Spring dates are now open.
