Car enthusiast, dog enthusiast, photography enthusiast, fun sock enthusiast, fitness enthusiast, music enthusiast, just kind of all around ~enthused~. It all started at a cars and coffee at the SteelStacks in Bethlehem in April of 2018. Walking around with my friend Jon and admiring all the cars, I started to notice all of the dogs that were tagging along with their owners. I started taking snapchat videos every time I saw a four legged fluffy friend and shared them on my story! Fast forward to June 2018, I bought a “nice camera” (Canon Rebel T6) so I could start taking better photos of my car. I jokingly told some friends that I should make a “Dogs at Car Meets” Instagram account, but they were like “dude… you should!”

One whole year later, June 27th, 2019, I finally decided to make this joke a reality. I posted a mediocre photo of my brother’s puppy named Senna, sitting in front of my 1997 Corvette! With the full support of my close friends, the page started and began to slowly grow! My favorite part about starting the page was the fact that the majority of my friends, even ones that could not care less about cars, were so excited to follow along!

About 1 year after starting the page, while locked down in Minnesota during the pandemic, I decided I would start learning more about photography because I wanted the pictures to be more than just cute.. I wanted them to be good too! So I fell into the rabbit hole of photography; started buying new lenses, then a new camera body in May of 2021, then another new lens in 2022! I’ve fallen madly in love with photography and I’m learning something new every day as I document car meets, individual car photoshoots, hikes, cities, friends… anything I can bring my camera along to!

The page really started to take off in late 2020, thanks to a little bit of celebrity encouragement (Kyle from 1320video, Nolan Sykes from Donut Media, the legendary Doug Demuro, just to name a few!)! Reaching 1,000 followers on December 31, 2020, and growing to well over 5,000 by the end of 2022! I’ve met some amazing people, some even more amazing dogs, and made some lifelong friends through this page, and I am SO thankful for all of these people, and all of the friends that have supported me along the way. I love you ALL <3

If you see me at a car meet, please stop me and say hello! Thank you for reading :)
