Tips to Stop Begging at the Dinner Table
- Dogs
If you consider your dog to be your companion, soulmate, and family,
or if your horse understands you as no one else can...
...then you're in the right place!
A dog nerd my whole life, I've also been a photographer for over 2 decades, specializing in wildlife and natural light photography.
Before opening my own business, I dedicated over 20 years to the wildlife conservation field. Despite working with some of the rarest animals on the planet, I have always found myself returning to my first animal loves — dogs and horses.
When I'm not working or being a mom to my own rescue pups, I actively volunteer with local dog rescues around the Houston area.
Louise's Pawrents
Kelly is very professional, has good taste, and has a special talent for bringing out the unique personality of her subjects with great insight and sensitivity. She is easy to work with and kind and loving with the animals. A photo session with Kelly is a real treat and the results are remarkable. We very highly recommend her. So does our dog.
Sadie and Gracie's Mom
Kelly is such an amazingly talented and creative photographer. Her love and knowledge of animals are evident in getting our dogs to be calm in order to capture the best pictures of them. The hardest part was deciding which picture was our favorite!

As someone who had never done professional animal photography before I was excited. Kelly exceeded my expectations! What a great way to capture the personalities and details of my horses.

Husband - Anthony
Dog wrangler, horse-ear-perker-upper, studio-set-up-expert — this guy does it all. You might not see him at every photo session, but when you do you know things will run smoothly! (Also, the only piece of camera gear we have trouble with is a selfie-stick!)

A nap on a cold, cloudy afternoon after reading a good book with all my dogs around me. Or a day spent on a long trail hike with Anthony and the dogs.
What is your greatest extravagance?
Camera gear. Always camera gear!
What or who is the greatest love of your life?
Hands down, it's my husband Anthony. He's been my rock, motivational coach, and my greatest supporter, always.

I've been told I am extremely calm under pressure!
Bloom of choice?
Dahlias are my favorite! No two are alike.
What do you collect?
I collect feathers, usually found when I'm out hiking with my dogs. I also tend to collect stray dogs and camera gear.
Fave Pandora station?
Chill Out Radio when I'm editing photos. The 80s channel the rest of the time.

I'm not a coffee drinker, so I'll always order a hot chocolate instead. Beyond that, lemonade or Cherry Coke Zero is where it's at.
Star Wars or Star Trek?
