Our next stop was Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. Not only is it one of the most dog friendly national parks, it’s also one of the most unique landscapes I’ve ever seen. Grasslands and desert shrublands lead up to tallest sand dunes in North America. Beyond the dunes, the snow capped Rocky Mountains tower over the landscape … Read More
Tales from Beyond the Fence
Iris’ Grand Adventure II – New Mexico
My only plan when we left Massachusetts was to make it to New Mexico so that we could see the Rocky Mountains. After three days of driving, we made it to New Mexico in the dark and settled down for the night. I couldn’t wait for sun to come up again. We woke up in New Mexico’s high plains, surrounded by a landscape that was so completely different … Read More
Iris’ Grand Adventure I – The Beginning
My best friend is a little Australian Shepherd named Iris. She’s my constant companion, my muse, and the inspiration behind Beyond the Fence. There’s nothing I love more than being outside with my dog. We’ve spent days getting up early and driving to mountains in the dark so we could be there for sunrise, and … Read More
Project 52: Natural Light
This week’s Project 52 theme is “Natural Light.” Light is such an important part of my photos, particularly my landscape images. I’m always searching for that perfect moment natural light, whether that means waiting in the cold for sunset or getting up before dawn to chase the sunrise. This week, I met up with Pavlina … Read More
Project 52: Love
This week’s Project 52 theme is “Love.” This was a bit of challenge for me because in many ways, all my photos of Iris are love letters to my dog. Everything I capture about her is something I love about her. So for this week, I decided to focus on two things that Iris loves … Read More

Project 52: Negative Space
This week’s Pet Photography Project 52 theme is “Negative Space.” Negative space is the area that surrounds the main subject of the photo. In this case, the negative space is the gray, foggy weather that we’ve been having this week and the main subject is my amazing little red dog! Of course, it’s hard … Read More
Project 52: Black and White
It’s a new year and I’m so excited to begin a new (old) project! I’ve participated in a “52 Weeks Project” with an amazing group of pet photographers in the past but for various reasons, wasn’t able to in 2016. One of the things I’d like to be better at this year is making time … Read More
Jackpot the Swedish Vallhund
I met Jackpot and his dad at a beautiful park in Sudbury, MA. Jackpot’s Around Town session took place at the beginning of last December, but I’ve kept his session a secret because it was a Christmas present for his mom. I had so much fan capturing this handsome boy for her surprise! Jackpot is … Read More
Finnley at Dartmouth College
I met Finnley at the Dartmouth College campus in New Hampshire for his November photo session. The old architecture was the perfect backdrop for such a handsome boy’s photos! It was also the perfect place for Finnley to keep an eye on the squirrels who were busy getting ready for winter while we wandered around … Read More
