Every photographer has a story.
My journey began with a passion
for capturing special moments.
Dedicated to creativity, beauty
and connection, I prioritize
artistic expression and
authentic moments
and believe that every image
should reflect your pet's true personality.
Your beloved pet
is your family member
no matter what!
Pets understand you,
and you understand them.
They know your moods,
when you need their loving presence
and when you're ready for some fun!
And you know their moods,
when they need to cuddle
and when they're ready for some fun!
I capture these
special moments
for you to treasure
FURR-EVER!
(Sorry - couldn't resist)
I take the time
to understand your needs
and tailor your session to create
images of who your pet
and you really are.
From our first phone call
all the way to your chosen framed or
canvas-wrapped image on your wall,
I make you and your pet feel at ease
and confident that your
final images will
MAKE YOU SMILE FROM EAR TO EAR!
I am a former mental health clinician
and am trained to serve first responders.
From them I have learned about
the life-saving capabilities of
service and therapy animals.
I welcome all first responders
with a service dog
and those with a therapy cat or dog
for a photo session
designed especially for you!
A few weeks after your session,
you’ll get together with me again
to watch your curated images
come alive in an
exciting slide presentation.
In this meeting,
I help you choose
your favorite images
to be framed
or canvas-wrapped portraits
to display in your home.
After they are expertly printed
and framed, I will personally
deliver your archival-quality art,
and even install it if you so desire!
And every time you walk by, you'll
SMILE FROM EAR TO EAR!
PLUS, you receive web-ready digitals
for all the images you purchase!
Penumbra is my unofficial middle name
chosen out of a giant dictionary.
It refers to the secondary shadow
at the edge of
the shadow (umbra) of the moon.
So basically
the shadow of the shadow of the moon.
And "Blue"?
It brings a sense of
calm and creativity.
I especially love the
dark mysterious midnight blue,
like the penumbra.
And your pet for sure
has a mysterious side too,
doesn't she?
I have been a photographer
most of my life.
I love the outdoors
and as a Board member of
the Springfield (MA) Naturalists' Club,
I prefer to photograph my clients
(not just pets, but children
and families too!)
in the beautiful surroundings of Nature.
If you don't have a
specific location in mind,
I have many ideas for you.
For inquiries about my photographic portrait artwork, please use this form to contact me. In person consults will be scheduled by phone.
Call or leave a voice mail. I will get back to you within 48 hours!
Thank you for your interest!
