I am so lucky to be able to work with such wonderful furballs and their families! Thanks for the kind words!
Jess: I feel blessed to have worked with Barbara over the years. Her photography and albums speak for themselves. Her work is simply exceptional. What may not be obvious as you browse her galleries is the compassion, kindness, patience and humor that makes her a pleasure to work with. From the moment she met my dogs, they had a bond. She intuitively knew how to bring out their personalities and capture their souls. When my boy, Ripely, was nearing the end she captured the most silly and handsome smile that now lights up our wall. Separately, she worked wonders and created a stunning silhouette for our Christmas card pictures as well as designed the back. Her creativity and experience produced a holiday card that prompted an abundance of compliments. Barbara consistently exceeds my expectations and deserves a 5+ star review!

Jan: I am delighted with the photos Barbara took of my dog Piper. She captured Piper’s personality 100% . I am fussy about details and one of Barbara’s strengths is her keen attention to every aspect of the photo shoot. She does her research for locations and comes very prepared for every situation. Barbara’s post production skills are amazing delivering a work of art to her clients. Most important is that Barbara make the whole experience fun!!

Debi: Barbara was fantastic and so friendly while taking photos of Takota. Being in an unfamiliar location, she made him feel comfortable by giving him treats, having squeaky play toys to keep his attention, and knew when to give him a break in between photo shots. She was so patient and calm throughout the entire session, and Takota showed his appreciation of her kindness by giving her gentle kisses when she was sitting down trying to take some of his photos. We enjoyed our time with her and the outcome of the photos are incredible. She truly captured the gentleness of Takota while allowing him to ham it up in front of the camera.

Sarah: My husband and I wanted pictures of our 2 Boston Terriers and Barbara was referred to us as a “terrific Pet Photographer.” From the beginning of the process she exceeded our expectations. She gave us information to prepare for the shoot, and when she arrived she immediately connected with the dogs and was a friend within minutes. She worked quickly and professionally capturing great shots of the dogs and solicited our thoughts on some of her ideas. It was a great day and we ended up with beautiful pictures of our pets. I would highly recommend Barbara and “Share the Joy.” She is terrific and we ended up with exactly what we were hoping for.
Paul: The photography Barbara provided of our two Boston Terrier dogs was exceptional. We now have many photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. Barbara is impressive in both her skills and patience to capture the best candid pictures of your beloved pets. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants amazing photos at remarkably affordable prices.

Ivy and Dennis: When Barbara met with us and Radar, our Bloodhound, she quickly understood what was important to us and explained in detail how to best portray our dog. We knew then that she was the perfect person to photograph our dog. She picked the best settings to accentuate his colors, and captured his true personality and character. Our dog loved the attention! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional to photograph their pets.

Barbara: Barbara created some wonderful memories of our dog in her photo session. She truly captured the moment with him at each of his favorite places. She also made the whole process so enjoyable, from watching her establish a rapport with my old, blind dog to helping me through the proofing process and to creating the final product. Superb!
