Beyond the pixels.
I grew up in Southern California, and after living in places like Hawaii, Washington D.C. and Virginia, I’ve planted roots back home in the beach town of San Clemente. I share everything in life with my wife and our four energetic and attention-hoarding Yorkies and Dachshunds.
I started taking portraits of our dogs and soon after for family and friends, anyone with a dog, really. Every animal has such unique and funny characteristics, and I like bringing it out through portrait photography.
