The short story:
Aspiring pet photographer in the Twin Cities (Mpls/St Paul) metro area of Minnesota.

The long[er] story:
As all pet lovers know, our pets are as much a part of our families as the human members. They become an extension of us, and the time spent with a pet often reminds us to slow down and enjoy the simple moments in our lives. (You know, the gentle rubs behind the ear, the afternoon naps on the couch,and the long romps in the park.) They are there for us through thick and thin, good times and bad; always ready to provide that special, unconditional love that can only come from a pet.

Personally, I know all too well that the time we share with our pets goes by far too quickly. They steal a place in our hearts; one that can never be replaced by another. Each new pet brings new experiences, and while we will never fill the spots taken by those we have lost, our hearts grow with each new friend we bring into our lives. My hope is to create beautiful, long-lasting keepsakes of those favorite furry (or scaly) friends; images that remind us of those simple moments, and capture the shining personalities of our pets.
