MEET OUR FEATURED SPEAKER

Adam Goldberg

Adam Goldberg is a Pet Photographer in Tampa, FL. He and his wife, Mary, opened their physical studio in August of 2020. Prior to that, they were traveling the country, hosting Pet Photo Shoot Fundraisers and raised $250,000 for 50+ animal charities.

Adam's love of pet photography started in 2013 when he worked for the Humane Society of Broward County. Initially, hired to manage the marketing, Adam took on the shelter pet photography program too

and fell in love. He wasn't a photographer prior to that.

Adam would post photos of adoptable pets on social media and soon after, pet owners were asking him to photograph their pets and that's how AGoldphoto Pet Photography was born.

Today, Adam and Mary are focused on giving pet parents an unbelievable experience that helps them celebrate what they love about their pets. Adam also hosts in-person workshops and online course where he teaches everything he knows about pet photography and how to run a successful pet photography studio.
