I’m what you call the “outdoorsy” type. I love homesteading, gardening, foraging, hiking, snowboarding, kayaking, nature, travel, astronomy, and Harry Potter. Adventurous, fun-loving and a little geeky.

Ok, ok… a lot geeky.

Though I graduated Rutgers University with an Economics degree, and did a brief stint in Corporate America, I always knew that 9-5 life wasn’t for me. So I packed away my business attire and started up Chase & Snap Pet Photography, combining two of my great loves: animals and photography.

People ask me, “Why pets?” It’s because besides being lovable, adorable, and all cuddly cute, they remind me of how I used to be as a child. How everyone should live their lives. Completely in the moment, being 100% themselves, having this wonder and curiosity about the world around them. Loving with abandon.

So it is my responsibility to remind everyone through my art, of that mentality and also capture the relentless loving bond that pets and their people share. Because it’s moments like those that make life worth it.

In my free time, I take pictures of my Corgi mixes, Seren (pronounced SAIR-en and means “star” in Welsh) and Starfox and volunteer at local animal shelters. I have been practicing photography for 20 years now and have never met an animal I didn’t like.

Can’t wait to meet yours!
