Volunteering
As an animal lover I cherish the amazing opportunities I have had over the years to volunteer with some amazing organizations.
As much as possible I dedicate my free time to assist and work with various rescues and foundations by photographing adoptable dogs and horses so as to help with visibility through social media and websites to facilitate adoptions.
I also photograph many events that are organized for fundraising efforts and donate prints or photo sessions to their silent auctions.
A percentage of any full photo session is donated to one of the Rescues or Organizations below.
Let us know at time of booking which one you would like us to donate to.
Based in Orange County, CA, They dedicate their time in rescuing abused, neglected and discarded Pitbulls and finding new forever homes for them. Their work is constant and what they do to save these loving animals is nothing but extraordinary. I am fortunate to have had the chance to spend counless hours photographing so many Pitties for OCPBR so that they can find their forever home. Some of my favorites to photograph are the adoption sessions. Nothing compares to witnessing these moments and being able to capture them.
New Vocations Racehorse Adoption
While living in Kentucky for parts of the year, I searched for an organization that i could volunteer with as part of our mission is to dedicate our time to helping rescues with photography or events for fundraising efforts. I was fortunate to connect with New Vocations early in 2023 and begun learning about the amazing work they do for the retired racehorse aftercare. New Vocations rescues retired thoroughbreds and standardbred. They rehabilitate, retrain and re-home so many beautiful horses and help them find their “New Vocation” in life as well as loving families. Check out their website and see the many stunning horses available for adoption.
Southern California Bulldog Rescue
Based in Southern California is dedicated to the rescue of English Bulldogs. Through donations and fundraisers they have successfully saved countless of Bulldogs and found them forever families. I have photographed many events for them and one in particular that i hold very dear is “Photos with Santa Paws” they successfully organize every year and helps the non-profit raise funds for the rescue efforts care of these precious babies.
Based in Ramona, CA, Cannot be described as nothing less than extraordinary. Their purpose and efforts are dedicated to rescuing senior dogs and providing the necessary medical help to allow the precious souls to have a chance of love and life for the time they have left in this world. Shelters are full of senior dogs that for so many unfortunately do not serve a purpose anymore as they are no longer cute puppies or they start having medical issues. My admiration for FFF and what they do is indescribable. The number of discarded senior dogs they saved and found a home for over the years is astonishing. Check out their weekly open houses and see the many seniors that are looking for a home to live their final years, surrounded by love.
