I'm a dog photographer based in Orange County, California.

My journey with dog photography began in Lithuania, when my Labrador, Amber, came into my life. She’s now 12 years old, and from the very beginning, I wanted to capture every moment we shared. What started as a way to preserve memories quickly grew into a true passion. I dove into learning photography, and today, I feel incredibly lucky to create lasting portraits of your four-legged family members here in sunny Southern California.

Amber didn’t just inspire my photography—she also led me to another passion: dog training. That’s actually what I have been professionally doing for over 10 years! I’ve always been fascinated by the way animals communicate with us and with each other. My training background helps me understand canine body language, build trust, and create a calm, fun environment during photo sessions.

Whether we're planning your session, picking the perfect outdoor location, or choosing your final images, I’ll guide you every step of the way. My goal is to create natural, heartfelt portraits that capture your dog’s personality and the bond you share.

Nature and animals are at the heart of everything I do. Most of my sessions take place outdoors in beautiful, scenic locations—and I’m always on the lookout for the next magical spot.

Thanks for stopping by—I hope to meet you and your pup soon!
