With 15 years of photography experience, our emphasis on pet photography began in 2016. As the official photographer for Southern California Surf Dog Competitions, we came to realize the joy our pet photographs were bringing to others. In 2019, we won second place in the San Diego County Fair International Exhibition of Photography n the "Our Best Friend" category and had 8 other pet images on exhibit. Receiving almost 5,000 entries, this competition is one of the toughest, including 2-tiered judging, with less than 1/3 of entries being accepted and less than 1% receiving awards. Also in 2019, we were rated one of San Diego's best pet photographers by Peerspace, and we served as an expert on photography Q&A Panel at the San Diego County Fair International Exhibition of Photography. In April, 2019, we attended Animal Image Makers Conference in Minneapolis, the first photography conference, educational seminars, and image competition dedicated entirely to pet photography.
