I'm really excited to announce that we came in as the winner of the Best Pet Photographer on Long Island in the annual "Best of" contest! It's been almost 20 years since I first started photographing dogs and birds for books, magazines, calendars and greeting cards. Years of working to help charities and animal shelters certainly helped me hone the process, as well as countless private shoots - and this year I get to put up the banner and award for the results. A humble thank you to everyone who voted to make it happen!
