FUN AND PHOTOGRAPHY WITH DOGS AND PEANUT BUTTER GREG MURRAY PEANUT BUTTER PUPPIES BOOK

Greg is published and award-winning lifestyle, portrait and commercial animal photographer, author and rescue animal advocate living in the Cleveland, Ohio area with his wife Kristen, daughter Evie and their two rescue dogs, Kensie and Leo.

He is dedicated to pit bull rescue, advocacy and ending “pit bull” dog bans. Greg, along with a group of dedicated individuals, helped end his hometown of Lakewood, Ohio’s 10 year ban on pit bull type dogs in 2018.

While he doesn’t play favorites, Greg has a special spot in his heart for the underdog. Rescue and “pit bull” type dogs play a large role in his work and books.

Greg hasn’t always been in this profession and it took him a long time to have the courage to pursue it.

He was born and raised in Lakewood, Ohio and also spent time growing up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Greg earned his degree in business from Loyola University of Chicago and spent about ten years working a desk job at various private and non-profit organizations in Chicago, Atlanta and Cleveland.

You could often find him firing or laying off employees, putting out office fires, and rummaging through large amounts of paperwork. Spending much of his time in a windowless office five days a week, Greg’s mental and physical health began to suffer. He needed a change.

Greg left his corporate career in early 2014. Shortly thereafter, he was a full-time photographer running his own business. Combining his love for animals and photography was the only natural thing to do. Two short years later, Greg began working on his first book, Peanut Butter Dogs, and was signed by a national publisher. Life is full of unexpected turns!
