Last weekend a client gave me a wee bit of somewhat deserved grief for not featuring more Golden Retrievers like his beautiful dog, Maya, on my site. “Afterall,” he said, ” They’re only one of the top 5 most popular breeds in the country.” Odd, I thought, I know I’ve photographed more than my fair [...]

This week was a milestone for me. I had my first published magazine cover shot with the San Francisco SPCA’s award-winning Our Animals quarterly. Many heartfelt thanks to Paul Glassner, the editor of said publication for giving me a shot at this and being such a good mentor.The subject, Nikah, is an adorable Chi-terrier [...]

I had a great shoot with a nice little guy named Topper last weekend. Topper was recently adopted from San Francisco Animal Care & Control and he ended up in a great home with a dad who just adores him. One of his dad’s friends gave the session as a gift.
Topper is a chihuahua mix [...]

Last weekend I met one of the cuter dogs I’ve ever photographed. Lexie (her mom spent some time in NYC) is an adorable little maltese-yorkie mix who has her new mom — a first-time dog owner — completely smitten. After our first session I definitely joined the club.
Lexie hasn’t completed all her shots yet [...]

Every 6 weeks or so PHC holds an event at a major venue in town where homeless service organizations and homeless clients meet. In a word, it’s amazing. You’ve really never seen [...]

OK, while the name of this blog pretty much blares my primary client base I’m not discriminatory when it comes to pet photography. While the vast majority of my subjects are of the canine variety there still are others and last week I had my first rabbits - Peanut and Baby Girl. Now, admittedly, I [...]

My good friends at Dogster recently asked me to help fill in on their For the Love of Dog Blog while they search for a new full-time blogger.
My first post was yesterday. I went with a you-provide-the-caption approach for a funny shot I took a few weeks ago and the response has been pretty decent [...]

Last Saturday I held my first monthly photo event down at Under One Roof. We promoted it as being for pets and kids but the vast majority of the folks that signed up for it brought dogs. It was a lot of fun. The folks at the store are great and pretty much rearranged the [...]

Of course, anyone visiting a blog called Smile Like a Dog will be a bit surprised to see pictures of cats. While most of my pet clients are of the canine variety I do get my fair share of feline posers and I have to say I’ve had a run lately with cats of the [...]
