Gracie and Woodrow

I love photographing pairs of animals that have been together for a while. They tend to operate as couples and it’s a lot of fun capturing that dynamic. I worked with Gracie and Woodrow at the end of March at their lovely San Francisco home. Woodrow, the older of the two, has an eye condition [...]

Oliver: May We Please Have Some More?

Until a couple of weeks ago when I met Oliver I hadn’t ever heard of a Bullnese before. I’ve probably seen quite a few but always assumed they were frenchy or pug mixes. Well, consider me corrected now…and an official fan. What a fun dog. We had the shoot at Alamo Square and ended things [...]

For anyone out there who lives in or near San Francisco or is planning a visit soon I’ve got a new destination to add to your list: The Palace of Fine Arts. Yeah, I know, it’s not really new but it had been closed for the last 7 years for renovation and we’ve only been [...]

Mr Bernie: In the Catbird Seat

Posted on 15. Mar, 2011 by Mark.

Mr Bernie is undoubtedly one cat with a very important-sounding name which helps when you live in a home with another cat plus two dogs. Mr Bernie–soon to be a Pet Food Express My Mutt poster star–shares a place with two other My Mutts, Zuni and Phoebe, who’ve been on this blog before. But Bernie [...]

Cooper: Hitting Mavericks

Truth be told, I’m something of a closet surfing fan (the wave kind, not the internet kind). Even though I’m way too terrified of sharks to ever try it out here in Northern California’s Great White territory that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy watching others take on the challenge. In this part of the world [...]

You’re in for a real treat with this post, folks. Not only will you meet an unbelievably cute little Pomeranian puppy named Romeo but you’ll also get to know a gorgeous cat named Gracie with the most beautiful eyes you’ve ever seen: one blue and one green (it’s called odd-eyed — a term I don’t [...]

Elvis and Gidget

Photographing a Dachshund is always a lot of fun. Photographing two of them…well, you do the math. Elvis and Gidget were both recent subjects for a My Mutt poster honoring the Peninsula Humane Society which was given to their mom as a birthday present. (Folks looking for a great gift idea please take note). Elvis [...]

Kipling: A pup with a Mona Lisa Smile

Posted on 31. Jan, 2011 by Mark.

You know how some dogs have a classic dog-like bearing and others seem a bit more human? A recent client of mine– a cute little whippet-mix named Kipling –falls into the latter category for sure. Throughout the shoot Kipling maintained a what I think looks like the canine equivalent of a Mona Lisa smile–sort of [...]

Ahhhh, German Shepherds. I just love them. Always thinking…usually worrying…amazingly beautiful. A couple of weeks ago worked with a very handsome lad named Scout down at Crissy Field and the Palace of Fine Arts down in the Marina. Unfortunately it was a week before they opened up the newly refurbished Palace so we were only [...]

This first part of January I’ve been shooting a lot of gift certificate sessions (presents given over the holidays). My first one was with a lovely lady named Maya who lives out by Ocean Beach with her mom and dad. Maya’s a senior German Shepherd mix with soft brown eyes and a smile that never [...]
