The Nature of Dog Photography
Years ago, I imagined photographing our Alberta dogs as wildlife art. Inspired by the art of Glen
Loates, Carl Brenders and Robert Bateman, I photograph dogs living their best lives as they
enjoy the outdoors with us. This journey has guided me to a style and blend of dog
photography that is nature-focused and heartwarming. Extremely detailed and vivid, the
images portray the beauty of Southern Alberta and the individual characteristics of dogs both
physically and behaviourally.
Animals have always been my obsession. After graduating from the University of Calgary
(B.SC. Zoology), I ventured out into field work in the Rockies and on the BC coast. My biologist
experience comes in handy when capturing our four seasons and dog behaviour.
