Why hire a professional animal photographer if I've got a great camera phone?

phones today can take great photos. and its been said the best camera is the one on you - usually our cellphone! Even I'm guilty of this spontaneous perk. They're great for catching candids on the fly.

from videos of stalking games with your cat to whipping it

out riding the horse i totally get it, & am

not here to fight that convenience.

However, seeing my clients' excitement over results at session's end it's very clear hiring a professional animal photographer is a

very different experience! not just better gear, but most

important created with intent & the luxury to plan in advance.

things like location, lighting, what you wear(play dressup!),

& cooking up poses. the time to find inspiration & plans for

the photos. and finally, the distraction of your phone is

off the menu. a seasoned photographer blending all this

is how the wow you didn't expect happens!



but, animals don't always stand or look where we want, they

can dance, drag you in circles, or just want out at the most embarassing times. So another huge advantage of my taking the

photos is your own personal animal maestro immune to such

antics! I'll find calm, guide their focus, & snap it at

the perfect moment. it takes tremendous pressure off  

to just be yourself, trust the process, &

enjoy the fun experience!
