Digital Pet Art - August 2024

August 2024 - Digital Art

I enjoy transforming my own photos or great (non-professional) shots others take of their pets into digital art. Sometimes, I combine multiple photos to create a single piece, like the first image below. Creating these digital art images is something I find really fun, so I try to do it often. Here are a few pieces I've made over the past couple of months.

Stephanie, Catherine, Tyler and Lloyd

Salome-Wenden, AZ | Family Session

It was a gorgeous evening in the desert, and we chose a blooming almond orchard as the perfect backdrop for this beautiful family's photos. We had a great time getting baby Lloyd to smile and capturing some fun action shots as Catherine and Tyler ran toward the camera. It was an honor to photograph this wonderful family.
