dogs and their people

Fun things to know!

My appreciation for art—and a good glass of wine—was inspired by my Mom. She was an outstanding professional artist. Growing up, our home was filled with artwork she created. I have many of her art pieces in my home now and of course lots of photographs I have created. That’s what I want for you~beautiful, meaningful artwork that celebrates your family and brings joy to your home every single day.

I earned my BS Degree in Photography from Texas A&M Commerce quite a while ago, and I’ve been perfecting my craft ever since, earning a few awards along the way. Most recently, five of my images placed in the 2024 International Pet Photographers Competition, earning four bronze awards and a bronze distinction!

Our studio is located just 4 miles east of Mason, Texas. We have an indoor studio for some classic portraits and then we have 40 acres to roam around on!

A fun fact, we have a tax valuation for wildlife management so working on our property and keeping it natural is the way of life around here. The wildlife is very skittish and not around too much, just a natural Texas environment to have your portraits created. I have many favorite spots and know just the right time of day for our session. The property is not securely fenced so leashes for pets are still important to keep everyone safe. Not to worry, leashes will not show in your final artwork!

Our human kids are grown and off on their own fun adventures so now my day begins with some yoga, a good cup of coffee with my husband, and a walk with our two rescue dogs, Roy and Redd. Like so many of you, we’ve had and lost other amazing dogs in our family, and I cherish their portraits, especially the ones with the whole family! I can’t wait to get to know you and your family and help you celebrate this special time in your life with meaningful portraits for your home!

Adoption Portraits

Connecting families with their special furry friends through adoption portraits has been a tradition around here for many years.

"Your professional photography services are superlative and have added a new dimension to Second Chances' marketing campaign, and, many, many instances, have been the reason people move to adopt." Jim H
