I have done many things in my life, but few that I am passionate about. Animals were always one of those. I was a horse trainer and a farrier for many years, specializing in severe abuse rehab and behavioral issues. I was a Canine Search and Rescue Volunteer with SLOSAR and CARDA until I became pregnant with my daughter.

I had always loved photography, and my grandmother had went to school to become a photographer. I was in awe of the stories that could be told through a lens.

In 2019 I had an accident that resulted in my living life predominately in a wheelchair. I spent about a year feeling lost, truly mourning the loss of myself and not understanding where I was to go from there. My neurological condition spread to the entire right side of my body, even affecting my face! I cried out to God. I spent another year getting closer to the Lord and eventually He put a camera in my hand.

In March of 2025 I rescued a little underweight German Shepherd Cross puppy from the shelter to train as my service dog. I require a mobility and med alert service dog.

In May I decided that I would begin to document my journey with my pup- Malakhi- through photos and videos. I also wanted to change the way that people viewed shelter and rescue animals. So we travel and donate photography to shelters and rescues for their animals so that people can see the critter and not the bars.
