This year's Photoville was off the charts awesome! It was an honor to be included along side so many incredible photographers. Special thanks to Sam Barzilay, Laura Roumanos, Dave Shelley and Jasmin Chang for inviting Lynne Corriea and I to create a mini dog/kids portraits studio and the entire Photoville crew for helping us make it happen. Also, thank you to all the parents for bringing their kids and pups to be photographed. We had an amazing turnout, and enjoyed every minute of it. That being said, for your viewing pleasure, I wanted to share the gallery of images captured that day. Enjoy!     #Photoville Rules!!

Cat Heads

This personal project came about by accident. Each time I was set up to photograph a dog portrait a curious cat would walk on set. Cats love paper! It was as if the cats were demanding their close-up. Unlike dogs, who freely express their emotions cats are bit more challenging to read. You can usually tell a cat's mood by the expression in their eyes and sometimes the smack of their tail.
