Hello, I'm Lisa VanDyke,

I'm a Sacramento, California native with a love for animals turned into a photographer and independent artist.

It started when I began volunteering at a local shelter. My goal was to create photographic images of shelter animals in a professional and flattering light in order to better market their adoptability. From there it evolved to include portraits of people and horses, nature and the world around me.

My focus is to share what I find beautiful and interesting through photography and art, and hopefully contribute to animal rescue along the way.
