I met an awesome dog named Luke and his parents this past Sunday. Luke is undergoing pretty significant surgery tomorrow and his folks wanted to be sure to get some good shots of him and them with him before Tuesday. Luke is a strapping German Shepherd mix with a perpetual dog grin and gentle, easy [...]

You ever come across a dog, cat or other pet that really impacts you personally– other than your own, of course? It’s an occupational hazard in my line of work and occasionally I do meet a client who just sticks with me. Goober is one of those clients. I met him last year at a [...]

You gotta love a dog named Theo. I met him and his family on a shoot last weekend for their annual holiday card and then we split off to do some solo shots of Theo in action at a local dog park. Boy does he love his tennis ball — I guess that’s more of [...]

Fortunately, my run in with a grumpy bunny seems to have been a one-time thing. Etta, my latest Lepus, was an absolute doll. She’s an adorable little white bunny with the most delicate ears I’ve ever seen. She’s a Save a Bunny rescue destined for posterhood at Pet Food Express and I think we’re going [...]

I’ve photographed a lot of rabbits this year — more rabbits than cats as a matter of fact. Maybe I was just getting cocky but I actually thought I was starting to get a handle on them… at least until I ran into Sterling last weekend.
Sterling is lovely gray rabbit rescued through Save a Bunny [...]

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 [...]
