It’s the official launch day for my second children’s book, Puppy Tales - The Obstacle Challenge!!!  🐾🥳🧡 This book features three poodle puppies conquering an obstacle course together, learning about friendship, teamwork and determination along the way. While they are not the stars of this new story, I am so thankful for Millie and my other grand puppies who are helping the Puppy Tales series come alive! We are having so much fun in the studio writing and creating the images for these adorable storybooks. Be sure to grab a copy of both books, available on amazon and other fine book retailers. The eBook edition of both will be on a special promotion for the next five days!

What an amazing weekend in this Masters workshop with one of the industry’s leading talents, Gregory Daniel. I can’t thank him and Lesa Daniel enough for their hospitality and willingness to share all of their experience and knowledge to help further us in our business. I am grateful for the connections and time getting to know some of the other creatives in our class. From beginning to end, everything was very thought out and made for an experience I will never forget. Lastly, thanks to all the sponsors of the workshop as well that helped make it happen. Now it’s time for me to start creating!

What an thrilling night at PPA’s international print competition! The showcase of beautiful images was remarkable. Although I didn’t take the top spot in my category (newborn and maturity), I am proud of winning 2nd place in this prestigious competition that was filled with so much talent. Congratulations to all the winners!

Absolutely thrilled to share that I received a silver and gold medal at the International Print Competition by Professional Photographers of America! On top of that, my newborn image has secured a place in the final 4. The ultimate showdown for that is tomorrow night, and the nerves are kicking in. Wish me luck! 🍀
