I work with brands that aren’t afraid to be the loudest dog at the dog park through captivating and vibrant animal-focused photography. Whether it be still photography or videography, I aim to deliver dynamic yet playful audience-resonating imagery that all the other brands bark about.
Although animal photography is my profession, animal training is my hobby. This unique blend not only deepens my understanding of animal language but also allows me to ensure each animal is as comfortable on set as it is in its own fur. Away from the lens, I’m either making memories with my family, balancing on my paddleboard on Lake Michigan, or landing a solid punch in boxing class.
