So how did I get started with dog photography? Like many photographers, I have loved taking pictures. My girls grew up with me taking pictures of them and my passion for scrapbooking preserve the family memories. My husband nurtured my quest to gather photography equipment. He likes having nice pictures of our girls and my joy of photography. I took pictures of my girls in their sports and whatever was going on. My friends encouraged me to continue. So I did. Then, when Sarah started showing dogs, I took my camera and took pictures all day. Talked to my friends about what was good and more importantly, what NOT to show.
