Giving Back Through the Lens
Partnering with Rescues to Tell Stories That Matter
From the very beginning, my photography has been rooted in rescue.
For over 25 years, I’ve worked in dog rescue—first in the Netherlands, where I became involved with Galgos and Podencos, and now in the U.S., where I lead SAGE – Save A Galgo Español, an adoption and advocacy group operating in South Central Pennsylvania and Northern California. Through every step of this journey, photography has been my way of giving back.
I believe in the power of images to tell a dog’s story—to create connection, build trust, and ultimately help that dog find a home. Since 1999, I’ve used my camera to shine a light on the lives and struggles of Spanish hunting dogs. I’ve photographed shelter life in Spain, the incredible people behind the rescue efforts, and the quiet dignity of dogs waiting for a second chance.
But my work doesn’t stop with SAGE. I’m proud to have donated my time and skills to other rescue groups as well, including GoldHeart Golden Retriever Rescue and the National Borzoi Rescue Foundation, among others.
If you represent a rescue organization—whether local or international—and need professional photos to support your mission, I would be honored to help. Telling the stories of dogs in need is at the heart of what I do, and I believe that beautiful, honest images can open doors and change lives.

Let’s work together to give every dog the chance to be seen.
