I had laid my camera down for several years, until five years ago when I was inspired by my maltese, Kisha, to once again pick my camera back up. I started photographing her in different outfits and settings - and then one thing led to another.

Through the past few years, photography has given me the sight to see beyond what the eye can see. Looking deep into subjects to view their inner beauty and enjoy the miraculous creations that are placed before us.

During these few years, I have been recoginized in Photographer Forum Magazine, Photographic Magazine, Photo Technique Magazine, and have placed in both the 2000 and 2001 Texas State Fairs. My work has also been published in the Operation Kindness Calendar for the year 2002, and in April of 2003, I was recognized by Minolta Camera as a finalist for photo of the week.

My images are available to individuals who may want to purchase them for personal use, or to professional clients for a licensing fee. I may be contacted by email at: 49Dottie@comcast.net OR VISIT my website at www.dottieshepherd.com.

Thank you,

Dottie Shepherd
