Bio
 In German, "Spiegel" means "mirror". My images reflect me as an artist and photographer. Growing up, I loved taking pictures and always had a dog. My father gave me my first camera at the age of 8 and I've been photographing my world ever since. My first dog was Pepper, a Poodle and Sheltie combo. I graduated with a Degree in Art from San Diego State University. As an Artistic Photographer, I love to shoot a variety of images, such as landscapes, flowers and the ocean. But I'm focusing my business photography on pets, especially dogs. In the past, I've worked for several humane societies and animal rescue groups. I photographed many dogs (and cats) for adoption promos. Using that experience, I can capture your pets image and get them to be relaxed in front of the camera. I share my home with a 14 lb. Pomeranian, named Kharma "Fluffy Pants" Spiegel. He is the CEO (Canine Executive Officer) when my dog photography sessions. * I'm a Photographer and an Artist * I'm a Dog Lover. My dog even has his own blog * I'm born on the cusp of Taurus & Gemini * I was born in Florida, but a Cali girl since I was a kid * I love the beach * I rarely go to bed before 1:00 am * I'm obsessed with chocolate * I love the Rutles' Tragical History Tour, Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Criminal Minds (yes, it is an odd combination). I invite you to look through my portfolios and I hope you enjoy my images. -- Rita Share    Raves ad Reviews! Publications and Exhibitions |
