Work with Shelters

When I was getting started in photography, I struggled to find a subject that really stood out to me. Different genres had their moment of interest but ultimately faded away like an adolescent crush. That was, until one day, a friend noticed a problem: the local animal shelter needed help with their photos. It was then that I knew what I wanted to do, and so I began my journey photographing dogs, cats, and bunnies for the Prince George’s County Animal Shelter in an effort to save their lives. Nothing appealed to me more, nothing could.

Support Local Rescue

The plight of the homeless animals tugged on me, I wanted to do more. In 2024, I decided that I would expand beyond the shelter and make my services commercial. With every single sale, not only do I send 10% of profits to rescue, but I am also able to provide complimentary photography services to them as well!
