When Sarah’s dad told me she was a Dachshund-German Shepherd mix I have to admit I pondered how that could have possibly worked out (daddy was the doxie, by the way). Sarah turned out just fine and will be celebrating her 16th birthday this year. Her image will soon be gracing a My Mutt poster [...]

Every time you think you’ve heard the best pet name ever along comes someone like Captain Skullcrusher. At the shelter where he was rescued, Skullcrusher’s name was just plain Captain. His new adoptive parents thought maybe a tougher handle would instill some confidence in the guy and the name just popped into their heads.
It’s all [...]

I don’t get to Bernal Heights as often as I should. It’s got some of the best views in the city and is a great place to bring your pup for a light urban hike. I met my most recent My Mutt pup, Ann, and her dad there last week on one of the few [...]

Anyone who knows a modicum of Italian (or is a Fellini fan) knows that dolce means sweet. Well, you really couldn’t come up with better name for my most recent My Mutt shoot. Dolce is a cute-as-a-button Yorkie and Hearing Dog Program trainee. He visited my outdoor studio last Friday right before San Francisco got [...]

It’s been a while since I photographed any bunnies so it was great to get a recent My Mutt assignment for two rabbits adopted through the Marin Humane Society. Honey Bunny and Trixie Belle like to hang out in a sunny corner of their home where they have a view a backyard that’s occasionally visited [...]

Hey, Mo!
Posted on 17. Jan, 2010 by Mark.
The last time I worked with Mo’s mom it was on a My Mutt poster for her four bunnies. At a recent animal rescue event she mentioned to the good folks at Rocket Dog that she might be interested in adopting a dog and, lo and behold…Mo! What a find. He’s a sweet old Cocker [...]

Cosmo: Life Goes Counterclockwise
Posted on 10. Jan, 2010 by Mark.
When Cosmo’s mom told me he was black lab and he liked playing ball on the beach I wasn’t terribly surprised. What did catch my ear, though, was that he liked to go in counterclockwise circles when he was on that beach. This I had to see.
We met at Crissy Field on an overcast January [...]

Girlie Sue
Posted on 08. Jan, 2010 by Mark.
I first met Girlie Sue a couple of years ago when she and her had showed up at Under One Roof in the Castro for a pet-photo day I was holding there. We ended up photographing her with a pink boa (one of my favorite shots of all time) and her dad later had that [...]

Andy – Big Dog in a Tiny Package
Posted on 21. Dec, 2009 by Mark.
Sometimes when a dog is given a more human sounding name it doesn’t always work — I met a Dalmatian named Steve once and didn’t really think it fit him him very well. Other times, as in the case of Andy the Yorkie, it’s a perfect match. Andy is a spry 13 and recently won [...]

Snoopy & Gemini
Posted on 18. Dec, 2009 by Mark.
Lately I’ve had a lot of shoots down on the coast near Half Moon Bay. It’s beautiful down there with dramatic views of the Pacific and a classic coastal small-town feel. And boy, do people love their dogs there. My last shoot was in Montara, a few miles north of Half Moon Bay with two [...]

Amira & Panther: Dog and Cat Living Together
Posted on 17. Dec, 2009 by Mark.
Dog and cat combos are always a lot of fun and my session with Amira, an adorable terrier mix, and Panther, an aptly named midnight-black cat, was no exception. Amira is a rescue from Jerusalem, where her mom worked a number of years ago while Panther joined the family two years ago from the Silicon [...]

Daisy & Callie
Posted on 10. Dec, 2009 by Mark.
You have to love a dog with a Mohawk (I know, I live with one) and Callie, a lovely Blue Merle Aussie Shepherd I met last week has a great one. I photographed Callie and her friend Daisy, a Border Collie, for a My Mutt poster last week down in Redwood City and we had [...]

Holiday Pet Photos: ‘Tis the Season
Posted on 09. Dec, 2009 by Mark.
The holidays are truly here and I’ve been up to my elfin ears in antlers, beards and santa hats for the end-of-year rush for seasonal cards featuring everyone’s beloved pets. Last Saturday I spent the afternoon at the Pet Food Express Market Street store photographing dogs with Santa Claus. The shoot benefited a well-known local [...]
