I am a former 911 dispatcher, turned freelance photographer in 2016. My husband and I lead an active, outdoor lifestyle, which involves walking, running and / or hiking on a daily basis. I work from my home office near the Colonial Beach area. We live in a quiet neighborhood with minimal traffic. Our home is situated near the water, with a large yard. I recently lost my best, 4-legged friend of ten years and greatly miss having a canine companion in my world. I have been a dog owner since 2007 and have taken care of numerous other dogs on a professional and personal basis during that time, in addition to horses, cats and other animals. My preference is to sit one dog at a time, to offer individualized care, attention and love.
