Summary
I recently became a dog Mom to a toy Australian Shepherd, Taco. He has helped me stay creative & fluid in my craft.
ADVENTURES OF TACO
Problem Statement
How does a creative individual, who is a full-time employee, dog Mom with a million other life things happening at the same time, still maintain her craft? I decided that creativity can happen anywhere and the best muse is the one you have right in front of you. This thought, spawned the idea for the Taco Project.
Project Goals
Create radical photographic environments for my pup
Push the boundaries of my current skill sets
Make a person smile when they see images of Taco
Capture images that challenge the perception of traditional pet & animal photography

Learnings & Insights
It's A Process.
Taco project is a project that is ongoing and what I’ve learned so far is that:
- Pet photography is fun
- Creating these images has pushed the boundaries of my current skill-set
- Patience is key!!!
- Fail often and continue trying creative solutions to eventually get the results you wanted
- You have to learn quickly how to adapt to your photographic subject, especially one that doesn’t always sit still
- Photographing something you love isn’t easy but it is definitely rewarding
