Dog Event Photographer - Day in the Life - Nikon Z9 -

Join me in what a typical day (or at least the early morning) is like as a freelance / contract event photographer. I will be shooting some dog show rings (indoor and outdoor), obedience, rally obedience, nose work, weight-pull, dock diving, precision coursing, lure coursing, agility, and more.

Specializing in fast-action dog sports photography.
