Photographer Andrea Martin has a gift for capturing this magic. Her images radiate innocence and joy, showcasing the magical connection that forms when little ones interact with their furry or feathered companions.
Growing up surrounded by animals and now a mother of four, Martin has a deep understanding of how children find wonder in the simple act of cuddling a puppy or watching a goat graze. Set against serene rural backdrops, her photos are playful, intimate, and filled with affection.
