HOW IT WORKS
YOUR PET IMAGES ARE IMPORTANT!
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)
YOUR SESSION
We meet at your chosen
location at the scheduled time.
No need for nervousness--
I guide you all the way.
We laugh, we play,
we strike some poses
and I'll also catch some candids.
Then I edit the hundreds
of images down to only the best
and create a fun presentation
for you to make your choices easy.
WHAT’S NEXT?
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,
which will help you choose
your favorite images
for framing or canvas-wrapped
to display in your home.
After your portraits are
expertly printed and framed,
I will personally deliver
your archival-quality art.
And every time you walk by, you'll
SMILE FROM EAR TO EAR!
PLUS, you receive web-ready digitals
for every image you purchase!
SPOTLIGHT!
As a former mental health clinician,
I was trained to serve
first responders. From them I
learned about the life-saving
capabilities of service and
therapy animals. I welcome
all first responders
with or without a service dog.
and /or personal pet and
those with a therapy cat or dog
for a session designed
especially for you!
PENUMBRA BLUE STUDIOS VISION
I much prefer the natural world
of Western Massachusetts
for photographing pets,
families and kids.
While I love our local parks,
meadows, lakes, and rivers,
and I would also be pleased
to create images in your
own backyard or garden.
At times we can also
work inside your home.
We decide together
on the best location for you!
WHY PENUMBRA BLUE?
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?

MY STORY
Every photographer has a story,
and mine begins I in my teens.
Photography quickly became
my passion for capturing
special moments.

MY PHILOSOPHY
I'm dedicated to creativity,
beauty and connection,
and I prioritize artistic expression
and authentic moments.
Every image I create
should reflect your pet's
and your true personality.
At Penumbra Blue Studios
Photography, I know that
every pet and every person
is unique and has a story to tell.
I use the art of photography
to help you tell it.
Your portraits are created
to be showcased on your walls,
not buried or lost on your phone.
I love the outdoors
and so I prefer to photograph
my pets, kids and families in
the beautiful natural surroundings
of Western Massachusetts.
If you don't have a specific location
in mind,I have many ideas for you!
