Susan Schmitz – Owner/Lead Photographer

I've always had a love for animals and art. It wasn't until I hit my mid-life crisis (Well, maybe it was a 1/3 life crisis... I'm still young... most days) and I moved to Sedona that I was actually moved to explore my artistic side.

I just started taking photos as a reference for my drawings & paintings. Then I started to appreciate the instant gratification of a photo. Once I learned Photoshop, the geeky-techy side of me was completely hooked! I found the perfect blend of personal interests; dogs, photography and technology. And from this merger, A Dog's Life Photography was born... and so was I.

Laura Sand – Photographer/Account Executive

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had three loves in my life… music, animals and photography. The first memory I have of taking pictures was when I was about six years old. I would run around my house and back yard taking pictures of all the things that I loved…my parents, my brother, my cat… well mostly my cat. The first memory I have of listening to music was the same year, although there is photographic evidence of me grooving to tunes through headphones before the age of two.

I’ve learned that life is very short and you only get one shot at it. I’ve followed my dream to a place that I never knew was possible. I met Susan in prison! Ok, let me clarify… it was the greyhound prison program’s graduation day and we were both there for the celebration. We clicked immediately and she began teaching me the ropes from the very first moment. The rest… as they say… is history.

Christine - congratulations, Gigi!!! what wonderful news!

admin - Thanks for your your warm wishes on the lens recovery Danielle & Scott. I just got great news from Tempe Camera that they were able to bend the filter ring on the lens back into shape and get the broken filter off. The lens got by with only some minor scratches on the body. The glass is in good shape. Whewwwww! I got lucky.

J Scott - Ouch! A least you didn’t drop the baby. Congratulations on the grandson I just took some photos of my 10 month old grandson a couple weeks ago. I don’t have them online yet. My understanding is that the front element is the least expensive to fix… hope that’s true.

Danielle Daigle - Congratulations on your grandson!! He’s so gorgeous!

The photos came out beautifully. You did an awesome job!!

Now… I almost cried when I saw that amazing lens cracked. Oh… so horrible!! I’ll say camera prayers for it. I’m sure tempe camera will fix it right up.

Thanks for the shout out too!! I’m so happy for you… your grand-baby is super cute!

That title sound good does it? I can only imagine what kind of characters I am going to get visiting my site through a Google search. It didn’t sound that great either when I was checking out at Target and asked the cashier if she thought that a 9 month old baby would fit in the...
