Animals

(and their people)

Because life’s best moments often have fur, feathers, or hooves.

The bond we share with our animals is like no other—quiet moments, playful adventures, lifelong companionship. Whether it’s you and your horse on a mountain trail, a dog curled up at your feet, or the bird that perches on your shoulder every morning, these relationships deserve to be celebrated and remembered.

I specialize in photographing animals and their people across Sandpoint and North Idaho, capturing the connection you share in natural, authentic ways. From working dogs to barn cats, senior rescue pups to spirited horses—I believe every animal has a story worth telling.
