Our Adjudicator
About Rebecca Cozart – the Photographer
Most “About Me” bios start with “________ is an award-winning photographer”.
My “awards” are the smiles on the pet parents faces as I hand them their Keepsake boxes, albums, and prints!
I am a dog owner/lover and a photographer. My husband and I have Lagotto Romagnolo who owns our hearts (his name is Rocco).
My dreams came true in 2014 when I began photographing dogs and cats doing what dogs and cats do and soon NosesTailsPaws Pet Photography was created.
While talking with Molly (our last Wheaten Terrier) about my new venture she helped me name my new venture! I have been lucky to photograph so many wonderful dogs and cats. Each one is special and each one touches my heart.
If you live in the Salem/Keizer/Albany/Silverton/Corvallis/McMinnville (Oregon) area and would like a NosesTailsPaws session with your dog or cat…let me know. rebecca@nosestailspaws.
