LOVE COMES IN A FUR WAY
In 2016 my dachshund Cipolla arrived in my life, changing it as only a pet can. The adventures, love and laughter she brought into our lives are precious moments that will always remain in my heart. In 2019, she unfortunately became paralyzed in her back legs due to a hernia and we discovered that she was one of many dachshunds with IVDD. Thanks to exceptional vets and physical therapists Cipolla has regained a normal life also thanks to her new wheels that allow her to still have a thousand adventures! Right around this time and during the time of the pandemic, I started photographing her because I wanted to have photographs that glorified her warrior life and kept the memories alive in my mind. Therefore, I decided to expand my photography with animal photography as well. To put the love for these animals in pictures, to give us tangible memories to carry with us always. The value of photography lies in this: to make lasting moments and moments of our lives and make them immortal. Our animals accompany us only for a short time in our lives, and that is why I want to make their memory through photography something we can enjoy timelessly.
I am especially close to people who choose, adopt or as I do, happen to have a dog who is disabled or elderly.

SOME EXAMPLES OF MY WORK
"To me, photography is about finding something interesting in an ordinary place...
I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."
- ELLIOTT ERWITT
YOUR PHOTOSHOOT
Your photo shoot will be all about you and your four-legged friend!
Whether it is a portrait session or a mini reportage with you and your pet, my priority will be to make you feel good, have fun and of course make beautiful memories. We will agree on the best location for your four-legged friend, it can be done at home, in a quiet park or even in a forest! Your pet can remain on a leash throughout the entire shoot, if it is not safe to let him loose. For details like this the magic of photoshop will come to the rescue and the leash will disappear for a fine art print to hang in your home!
