The Girl behind the lens

The Girl behind the lens I am Minerva, The Girl Behind the Lens I am passionate about photography, dogs, and life! It's more than just a pretty photograph! I am passionate about dogs!!

Photography is a moment frozen in time, captured by a second but one that could be re-lived forever. I have 4 fur babies myself and 3 of them are rescued and one adopted. I would have more-if I could. I am passionate about life, life is short and we all know the end is inevitable. So enjoy it to the fullest and invest in the memories you can look back at!!

Tina & Ian

On this day we had the Island to ourselves. The sun beamed perfectly behind them, the breeze was just right and their love and chemistry showed through my lens.

Thank you for trusting the process and trusting me.

July is full now. I’ll be taking some vacation in August with just a limited sessions. September and October are open. Now is the time to book for then.

The love that is reciprocated unconditionally, unequivocally, irreversibly and forever is the love that a dog gives their human.

I wish that more humans respected these voiceless creatures. They only want the opportunity to show you how much they can love you, just let them and you will see.

Much love and admiration for all the animal lovers out there. We have something in common.
