Hello!

I’m Gracie, a 23-year-old dog sport photographer behind Black Mask Visuals.

My passion for working dogs is deeply rooted in my own journey with my German Shepherd, Ryker—my first true teammate—who shaped how I see dog sports through both a handler’s and photographer’s lens. I’m still early in my handler journey, and I value learning from mistakes, asking questions, and putting in the time to build a solid foundation. I enjoy the routine of training, the early mornings, and the small wins that come from steady progress. Black Mask Visuals is simply an extension of that mindset—rooted in real experience, growth, and respect for the dogs and the work.

Photography became a way to document the intensity, focus, and teamwork I see every time dogs and handlers step onto the field. With Black Mask Visuals, I aim to create honest images that reflect the work, dedication, and partnership behind dog sports.
