The idea for Sheepish Grin actually began while I was a photography student at Mass College of Art. One of my projects was photographing people and their pets. I enjoyed it so much, I had the idea then of creating a pet photography business. Eventually, I became a graphic designer. One day, I began photographing the animals at Winslow Farm Animal Sanctuary. I once again found the passion to combine my love of animals with photography. I decided it was finally time to start that animal photography business.

Volunteering at the farm sanctuary has given me a unique perspective on photographing all types of animals. I have had the great fortune to photograph not only cats and dogs, but llamas, rabbits, pigs, sheep, goats, emus, and horses. What can I say about the experience of chasing after a 300 pound pig and his cat friend for a magazine story about special animal friendships!

My goal in creating the best pet photograph is to capture that special quality that makes your animal truly unique. I believe by photographing in a natural, non-stressful environment, animals feel comfortable, safe, relaxed and playful. This is in turn makes for a positive photo experience for them and you! ~Annmarie, Sheepish Grin
