My name is Brinna Gard, and I'm a photographer in the Atlanta area specializing in pets and children.

My inspiration to get started in photography came from my love of animals. I have always had a special place in my heart for pets. When our family cat passed away when I was only eight years old, I did everything I could to campaign for a new one-- I even came up with presentations on the benefits, why having a pet was important to one's health, and promising to do all the work. But to no avail. My parents always told me that when I grew up, I could have as many pets as I wanted, so it's only fitting that now I spend much of my time with animals and photograph them as a career, right?

My husband and I have two adorable cats of our own: Diego and Javier. The two of us spent one day every weekend for many years at the local humane society volunteering our time to photograph adoptable animals for their website. If my husband didn't keep a close eye on me, I would probably bring a new cat or dog home each week!

After my nieces were born and my friends started to have children, I started photographing kids as well. Now that I have my own little ones, I take more pictures than you could possibly imagine!  I love how a picture can so perfectly capture a child's personality. An image can help preserve them just as they were at that point in time, which is so important given how quickly they grow and change.

Providing you with pictures that you can treasure for a lifetime is my motivation and passion. Children and pets help to make our families complete, so why not have memories of them that you will cherish? You can check out examples of my work in the "My Photographs" tab.
