“Only to the extent that we annihilate ourselves over and over again will we find that which is in us that is indestructible.” (from When Things Fall Apart (Shambala Classics, 2000) by Pema Chodrin)

Several things have survived for Jeff during his journey. A passion for photography (beginning in early childhood with his first camera, a Brownie), for animals, the outdoors and of things spiritual. He found his path with a heart by combining these lifelong passions, and specializes in the photography of pets — seeking to capture an image which expresses the inner essence of your pet’s unique personality beyond what might be considered ordinary posed portraiture, while working on location in the natural light of the outdoors whenever possible.

Jeff is easy-going yet serious, and exercises the utmost care, interest, and sensitivity in his work.

While using some of the finest digital equipment available today, he readily admits that the equipment is merely a tool to capture an artful image that is sharp, focused, and concentrated, saying, “At times its not even what’s on the image but what’s left just outside that triggers the imagination to see something extraordinary."

He concentrates exclusively on pet photography, allowing all of his energy and devotion to focus on you and your pet(s) in a relaxed, unhurried, enjoyable and simple atmosphere to create a lasting and memorable image of quality.

In his spare time, Jeff practices Tai Chi and volunteers at the Humane Society.
