Giving Back

I love to give back to the community, and I volunteer my graphic design and photography services to rescue and animal organizations in Sonoma County.
I believe that good material and photography can give companion animals a better chance of getting adopted sooner in finding the family they’ve waited so patiently for. I am also fostering special needs animals from local shelters. Helping at least one animal at the time will be enough to make a difference 🙂

I’m also a proud member of HeARTs Speak.
As a HeARTs Speak member, I donate my time photographing animals in need of their ‘furever’ home.

HeARTs Speak is a recognized global community of photographers, artists, shelter staff, rescue volunteers, and animal advocates working together to ensure that no shelter animal goes unseen.

LOS ANGELES — More than 1,200 shelter pets at the seven LA County Animal Care Centers will be ready for their close-up on Saturday, July 13, 2019, when the largest photoshoot of shelter pets happens on one day.

Giving Back to the Community

Past volunteer work

I have worked with local rescue organizations in the past volunteering my web and graphic design services and donating time as a Foster family. But oh my! I  always cried every time I had to hand a dog back to the shelter… but at the same time I’m very happy to see them go to their forever home!!!
