My first camera was a gift from my "awesome" sister when I was 18 years old. But my true passion for pet photography came years later… when I moved to the United States from Argentina with my Rottweiler, Simon. Everybody told me I was crazy to travel 5000 miles with a big dog like him, but he was MY dog and I wasn't going to leave him behind. He was the first dog I ever photographed.

When he passed away in 2005, I felt a deep emptiness in my heart. An emptiness I’ve never felt before. That’s when I decided I wanted to make a difference in the lives of other dogs and I started volunteering at my local shelter. As I bathed and took care of the animals, I would take their pictures, hoping it would lead to a loving home sooner rather than later. Those dogs really touched my heart, filling that emptiness I had. Now, I give that gift to animals everywhere – whether up for adoption or those who’ve already found their forever families.

I feel so lucky that I get to help make a difference in the lives of needy animals and share my passion for photography with other pet owners.
