Odie

Sunrise shoots at Crissy Field are among the most dramatic that I do. Between the bay and the bridge catching that morning light just so it’s pretty breathtaking. The light is also a wee bit tricky because it comes up fast and changes by the second. Toss in a little speed demon like Odie — [...]

My, my how the summer has flown by. This blog has been woefully untended so I’m remedying that with an extra fun post today. Muggsley and Ginja are great pooch pair from Burlingame who’s mom signed them to be My Mutts in the store downtown there. She had the awesome idea of photographing the two [...]

Thor

Sometimes you run across a dog who’s just perfectly matched with his name. Case in point: Thor — a handsome German Shepherd mix I had the pleasure of working with a few weeks ago at McClaren Park on an atypical hot, sunny San Francisco summer morning. Thor has just about the richest, glossiest, most beautiful [...]

Mac and Sydney

There aren’t many shoots requiring as much energy as two-terrier sessions like the one I had at my outdoor studio a few weeks back with a pair of cute little rascals named Sydney and Mac. Mac, the little grey guy with extremely human-looking eyes is a bit timid but he managed to warm himself up [...]

I was thrilled to hear from Ow Nin’s parents a few weeks ago that they wanted to have a session with her. They rescued her 5 years ago through Soi Dog Foundation in Thailand and I’ve I’ve worked with two of their other dogs – Besos and Lek on My Mutt posters. She already had [...]

A Triple-Cat Threat

Wow, where have the last two weeks gone. I’m emerging from the vortex for part one of a two-parter — a shoot a did a few weeks back up in Marin for a three-cat/one dog household. Because the cats were so much fun I’m giving them their own sneak peek (you know how cats are [...]

Dottie & Walter

Dottie and Walter are just about the cutest old couple I’ve ever met. Dottie, a little gray poodle recently adopted through Rocket Dog Rescue is 8 and Walter, a white maltesey-terrierish mix is 15. For their My Mutt posters we wanted to try something a little different so we took them down to the Mission [...]

Harrison: King of the Hill

Senior dogs are awesome. Active senior dogs are even awesomer. Harrison is a well-heeled fellow I got to know back in December when I photographed his parent’s wedding at Fort Mason at the old firehouse (FYI, an awesome venue for anyone planning an event in San Francisco) While it’s always a kick having a dog [...]

Mikey: As Spry as They Come

I’ve had a nice run of late with senior dogs — including a soon-to-be-unveiled shoot with Muttville‘s 1000th rescue pup. In anticipation of that I’d like to present another elder statesman named Mikey whose mom brought him to my outdoor studio a couple of weekends ago. Mikey turns a very young 15 this month and [...]

Ella & Dolly: Release the Hounds

There’s really nothing like an early spring weekend morning at Crissy Field in San Francisco. It’s beautiful, relatively empty and you’re likely to just run into a few folks out with their dogs taking advantage of one of the most beautiful spots in an already-beautiful place. It also tends to be a fairly quiet spot…unless [...]
