My interest in photography began when I was twelve years old after my father gave me his old camera. Photography has been a part of my life ever since. About nine years ago I found my favorite subject ever, Buddy, my long haired Dachshund. I fell in love with not only Buddy but all animals, especially dogs. Dashing Dog Photography was created by my partner Scott Martin and I out of a love for animals and photography. Buddy shares his home with Fatty my 11 year old cat. Buddy, Scott and I can often be found at home with Fatty, or at the local dog park playing fetch and photographing other dogs and their humans. We specialize in photographing dogs and cats. However, if you have another kind of pet we would love to photograph them also. In this case we ask that you allow us a complimentary consultation to discuss any special needs or shooting conditions to ensure a comfortable and satisfactory session. "We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet: and, amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us." –Maurice Maeterlinck
