From the Author

As a master photographer and artist specializing in newborn and children’s portraits, I’ve always been captivated by the power of storytelling through images. Known for crafting narrative-rich portraits that capture the essence of childhood, I’ve longed to delve deeper into the art of visual storytelling. It was the arrival of our beloved Millie, the cavapoo puppy, that ignited a newfound passion within me—an eagerness to not only capture moments in time but to weave tales that resonate with young hearts.

Inspired by Millie’s presence and the profound connections she fostered, I felt compelled to create a children’s book series that not only celebrates the joy of puppies but also imparts valuable life lessons for children. Thus, Puppy Tales was born—a whimsical world where each enchanting image serves as a gateway to endless adventures and timeless wisdom, inviting young readers to embark on a journey of imagination and discovery.
