As A Photographer

As A Photographer

As a photographer, I can share with you the things I have seen and snapped pictures of. But you don’t know who I am. And that is the problem. You have no idea why you would want me to be your photographer. So let me shine some light on the subject. 

My Name Is Carol

My husband and I have done wildlife photography for many years now. We love animals. It is a passion we share. We also have a great love of pets. With that in mind, I wanted to do pet photography. My loving husband jumped right on board and decided to be my helper. He is also a great pet whisperer. I just want to take great photos of pets in their own environment, with their own emotions. 

 

If you haven’t guessed by now, we love pets. We have always had dogs and cats. Currently, we have two Border Collies. They are our greatest joys. 

What I Do

I have found myself volunteering with my certified therapy dogs visiting hospitals, nursing homes, libraries, and hospice patients. The dogs seem to love bringing joy to those around them, and a little pet love can go a long way. They have also loved doing community events and parades. The spotlight suits them and I love being a part of my Border Collies adventures. 

 

I started volunteering with Fix West Texas in 2019. It’s a non-profit organization that spays and neuters and does other preventative care in an affordable way that is accessible to all pet owners in West Texas. I am their photographer for the monthly clinics they provide to document their work and love of animals. The volunteers are amazing and deserve to be seen. 

 

If you haven’t heard of Horses Hearts and Hands, let me share with you what they do. It is quite amazing. It is a non-profit organization that serves special needs and Veteran communities by providing horseback lessons that are affordable. They say horses are a great form of therapy. And maybe that is why it is known as Equine Assisted Therapy. 

 

The Love Of The Work

I don’t think there is anything as rewarding as being able to be a part of special memories that involve people and their pets. That is why I became a pet photographer. I love seeing the emotions of the whole family, pets included, and being able to capture those moments for you. 

 

I offer on-location sessions, which means I can go to your house, or a place of your choosing. I also take photos of more than just dogs and cats. I love all animals and I adore any animal that has a characteristic and personality of their own.

 

I am not just here for you. I like to make your pets feel comfortable. It can’t be easy to have someone they don’t know be in their face with a black box looking thing trying to make them look and “smile”. But together we can put your animals at ease and give you the kind of photos that will make you smile for years to come.
