inspired by sharon montrose

This video has been around for a while, but I wanted to share for those of you who haven't seen it.  I love animals, I love photography - this is my dream job.  Unfortunately I have a hard time taking a picture of my own dog who loves and adores me, so I'll leave it to Sharon Montrose.

I love hearing how she came to be where she is today:  "from a series of complete and total failures."  We can all relate.  She tried other more traditional photography routes but finally found what she truly enjoyed when she began photographing dogs.  Now she's shooting high profile ad campaigns for companies like Friskies and Target as well as her own personal animal series.

When I saw this baby giraffe print on 20x200 today, I just had to get it.  Giraffes are the theme in my little girl's room, and this will be the perfect addition.  Isn't it cute?  Sharon Montrose also has a shop on Etsy featuring more of the same giraffe, pigs, lambs, a basset hound, you name it.  I'm totally inspired by her work.
