My passion for photography and animals began at an early age in Leeds, England: I’ve had hamsters, budgies, dogs, and horses, and even a tortoise called Tumpy who’s still going strong 50 years after we found him shuffling across the grass in front of our house!

Currently, I’m puppy momma to Minnie, who is the last remaining wiener from our pack known as the ‘3 M’s’ (Mitzie, Monty, and Minnie) whom we adopted in India, where my husband, Tom, and I lived for nine years. And I’m horse momma to handsome chestnut Canadian Warmblood, Mango.

Tom’s job has taken us to live on three continents where I’ve created memories for pet parents and undertaken projects for corporate clients such as doggie day care centers and groomers, to national and international newspapers, photographing everything from the Westminster Dog Show to the NYC Halloween Dog Parade. I’ve honed my photography skills with some of the world’s greatest photographers, and studied everything from the art and science of image making to professional printing, and even animal communication!

My work has featured in national and international newspapers including the Washington Post, New York Times, and London Times, and has been internationally awarded and exhibited including a prestigious World Press Photo Award for my ‘Hounds of Hope’ series.

I am an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, a member of the Orlean Artist Collective (OAC), and a contributing artist at Artists in Middleburg.

Finally, when I’m not wearing my photography hat, I wear my riding hat at Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center where I work as a PATH Intl. Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor and PR/Social Media director (a nod to my former 20+ year career in Public Relations in London/NYC).
