My work includes a wide range of subjects such as portraiture, events and fine art; however, I feel my purpose on this Earth is to tell the stories of those without a voice through my pet, animal shelter and rescue photography.

It was a beautiful evening for a photo shoot on the beach. This family means a lot to me since I baby sat some of them in my younger days. They are now all grown up and have their own families….and such beautiful families!

A wonderful morning session with this sweet young lady and her friend… who is also graduating with the class of 2020. They were both a joy to work with and were troopers in this Texas humidity. Ha!

What a beautiful and sweet couple. It was a challenge with the rain that day, but we had to get it done because I was leaving for two weeks the next day. It was a fun experience and I think rain added an interesting aspect to the photos.

My Heart's Work - 01/2020

I started taking photos of shelter animals in April of 2013. I feel as if it is my life’s purpose. A purpose that makes me mostly happy as I really feel good photos help get these babies into their forever home, but sometimes sad that they are even in the situation they are in and then downright angry at the way some humans treat the innocent…but I won’t go there. My focus must not be on bad people… they are not worth the air we breathe. My focus is on all the innocent dogs and cats that fill the shelters and rescues. The list of shelters, rescues and businesses I have volunteered for are listed at the end of this post.

Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.
— George Eliot

Below is a collage I created of all the shelter babies I photo’d last month. Each and every one of these babies are so deserving of better … more love, more understanding. Hopefully by the time I make this post each month most, if not all, are in loving homes. That is my hope.

There are so many ways we as humans can help the animals that find their way into shelters.
