Lovella began working as a web/graphic designer and photographer approximately 15 years ago. In addition to her artistic endeavors, Lovella worked collectively for 16 years as an Animal Health Technician, and later on as a Pet Care Professional specializing in aggressive and medication-dependent pets. Most recently she worked for 2 years as a vet tech in one of the top ten largest animal care and control bureaus in the United States where she worked diligently to save as many animals as possible through networking, heading a foster care program and fostering animals herself in order to save them from euthanasia.

She currently owns CandidHams Photography, an environmental portrait photography studio specializing in pet portraits as well as family and child portraiture.

Though she still designs sites for all kinds of businesses, she started a design business named ePetNet after noticing the lack of quality in many pet related web sites. Knowing from personal experience that the difficulty that comes with establishing a business, she felt the desire to create a Web Design service that would provide individuals in the pet industry with both affordable and professional web presences.

Mrs. Paradiso also provides hosting and email services.
