VARÓN, a U.K.-based magazine, likened this portrait of a Saluki to the work of Richard Avedon.

Artist Bio

Brooklyn-born, San Francisco-seasoned, now creating artistic, minimalist portraits of dogs in Sacramento. My journey from public relations to photography led me to become a top-10 wedding photographer while cultivating my passion for dog photography since 2000. Inspired by my former mentor Amanda Jones, the alpha of dog photographers, my style has evolved to use minimalism as a way to reveal each dog's unique character—be it their human-like qualities, playful spirit, or artistic flair. As a lifelong dog lover and pug mom to my fifth pug, Buddy, my experience as a devoted dog parent brings depth and empathy to every portrait. If my approach to dog portraiture resonates with you, let's connect.
