ABOUT ME
Adopting Bowie in 2016 changed the trajectory of my life. He’s been my greatest teacher — showing me responsibility, patience, compassion, and resilience. More than anything, caring for him helped me step into my voice and discover my purpose.
Bowie is not only the heart behind my work, but also its namesake and muse. Through him, I found a community of devoted animal lovers and an enduring passion for honoring the bond between people and their pets. Through my sessions, I’ve also had the privilege of giving back. I’ve donated more than $18,000 to nonprofit animal rescues across the country, supporting the organizations that do life-changing work for animals in need.
Today, my work is recognized globally, and I have had the joy of photographing an extraordinary range of animals, from dogs and cats to birds, lizards, turtles, rabbits, and even a snail. Each one brings a distinct story and spirit to the portrait experience.
My approach combines years of high-level retouching expertise with a deep intention to create imagery that is both heartfelt and artfully crafted. I look for the quiet moments of connection that reveal the bond between pets and their people, focusing on the emotion, trust, and individuality that make every relationship unique. Each portrait becomes a tribute to that connection and to the ways animals enrich our lives.
BOWIE CARES:
On a Mission to Save Bolivia’s Strays
As a Bolivian native, I’ve seen the harsh reality stray animals face—neglect, abuse, and starvation, with little to no access to proper care. These animals need us, and together, we can create real, lasting change.
In 2023, I launched my first animal advocacy mission in La Paz. Since then, I’ve partnered with local vets and rescuers to provide food, medical support, and promote vital spay/neuter programs to reduce suffering at the source.
Now, I return each year to continue this grassroots mission. 100% of donations support sterilizations, medicine, food, and delivery to the rescuers who need it most.
For a detailed look at my trips and the impact your support has made, follow along on Instagram and YouTube @bowiecares.
This is how we fight for them—one trip, one treatment, one life at a time.
