SGV Photography

If you wanna know more about the humans of our pack, it is composed of a man, Nicolas, and his wife, Stephanie, who have been sharing an eventful life for now 20 years, moved countless times, from Switzerland to Virgnia, Houston, TX to Paris, France, then from Normandy to back to Switzerland, and finally ending up in New York City. Although Nicolas never dreamed of being married to a rescue advocate and have only furry kids, he has always supported my passion and devotion (except maybe when he stepped in a turd in the morning or when we just couldn’t envision a little getaway because of the organization, then he did curse me a little). After all, I was always willing to follow him anywhere for his career, moving away from our friends and family, so I needed some tlc too. He’s the brain of the house, I am more of the heart. We can’t function well one without the other.

Besides rescuing dogs, I also take pictures… of dogs! Not just dogs in fact, cats as well ;). OK, I do escape from my sweet obsession and let my soul wonder, try to capture the magic of this world, atmospheres, those moments you wish would last forever. A shadow play, an impression, a feeling. I am inspired by the unusual, the ephemeral, the beauty of the ugliness, unique lights, special moods. I hope to make people travel, dream, ignite emotion when they come across one of my images. You probably guessed, I am an incurable dreamer.

I now primarily volunteer for rescue organizations, taking pictures of their adoptable cats and dogs and of course, take many shots of my crew to hopefully promote responsible pet parenting and the adoption of special needs and seniors. I also sell some of my pictures through stock photo platforms like Getty & RooM.

I’ve never been very good at marketing myself, but I’m working on it! You can see more of my work on www.sgvphotography.com
