You gotta love a dog named Buddy — especially a puppy named Buddy. I met this cute little guy and his larger housemate, Raider, over in Livermore this week for a holiday session. Buddy’s the guy in antlers — Raider went with Santa. We ended up taking Buddy out for a little play session in [...]

I’ve had a run of really cool senior dogs of late. I capped off last weekend with a session for three elder pups: a pointer named Domer, a Brittany Spaniel named Suka, and last (but definitely not least) an Aussie Shepherd called Baloo. All of them are serious characters –very set in their ways– and [...]

Not only do I have a weakness for senior dogs but I’m a real sucker for German Shepherds (our last dog was a GSD and she ruled the house for almost 15 years). Introduce me to an older Shepherd and I’m hopeless.
Well, I was really hopeless last Friday when I met Sonora up at Lake [...]

There’s nothing quite like Fort Funston and Ocean Beach on a fall afternoon here in San Francisco — the light is that perfect California gold and it’s still warm enough for you to hit the beach without a jacket. I met Jasper, Mabel and their mom down there last Thursday for a donated session they [...]

Don’t you love it when a dog’s name just fits? Well, when you have an appointment with a dog named Rascal expectations are somewhat high but the Rascal I met last week definitely delivered. Full disclosure-Rascal is no longer a spring chicken but he’s got that mischievous glint in his eye and certainly knows how [...]

Lily’s a sweet little senior Maltese I photographed last weekend at her home in foggy Forest Hill. Thank goodness for the fog, though. White Malti’s and their fine hair can make for a photographic nightmare if the light conditions aren’t just right. Lily and the light both came through, though, both inside and out.

I was beginning to go through bunny withdrawal so thank goodness I had another My Mutt session last weekend with another group of rabbits from Save a Bunny. The stars this time were a cute little couple named Murray and Josie Cosette and boy did they come through with a bunch of poster-worthy shots. Check [...]

As a pet photographer you occasionally encounter a really brutal occupational hazard — the irresistible urge to take your subject home with you. I had just such an enounter this week with a nice little gent named Fergus. Fergus is a Border Terrier (from the England-Scotland border) and he’s the first of his kind that [...]

A friend of mine recently got a dog for his family - a cute little King Charles Spaniel puppy named Mohawk (don’t you just love it?). Last weekend they left Mohawk with a family friend who lives in my neighborhood and I was able to get a few quick shots. Bill and Yuriko, you have [...]

I met Ricky last weekend at another photo shoot I held at Under One Roof. When I got there I was a bit concerned because the cool leather bench I usually have as a prop had been sold and all they had left were pink ones. No need to worry because Ricky looked pretty in [...]
