Smile Like a Dog

Jasper

Warning…major, major cute puppy alert here. You’d think that when you’re around puppies a lot eventually the awwww-factor would diminish. Actually, it goes the other way. Last Friday was no exception when I was introduced to Jasper, an adorable muttly mix recently rescued through Rocket Dog. Jasper’s mom, Katherine Taylor, is a BodyTalk practitioner in [...]

Galahad & Scarlett

Posted on 17. Feb, 2009 by Mark.

I met a lovely pair of kitties this past weekend: Galahad and Scarlett. Galahad’s a wee bit shy and for the first 30 minutes or so he watched me warily and safely from beneath a kitchen table behind a chair (see below). Scarlett took to the camera almost immediately (and who wouldn’t with baby blues [...]

One of the best parts of this job is discovering new parts of your own city. My latest My Mutt poster shoot introduced me to McLaren park over in Portola. Wow, what a place. Amazing views of the city and acreas of green and trees.  The star of the shoot was a lovely Aussie Shepherd [...]

Pua, you’re a true Beauta

Posted on 25. Jan, 2009 by Mark.

When I talked to Pua’s owner a few weeks ago I had a feeling I was going to meet a special dog for this My Mutt poster shoot. I was not disappointed:  Pua is truly great pup and boy did she land in the right household. They love her and the feeling is very mutual [...]

Merry Mastiff

Posted on 07. Dec, 2008 by Mark.

I don’t know about you but I think Mastiffs just rock. The term gentle giant doesn’t even begin to describe them but throw in two of them weighing in at almost 400 pounds combined and you have a whole lot of friendly dog in one place.  I met Easy and his mom, Tori last weekend [...]

Losang & Deva

Posted on 23. Nov, 2008 by Mark.

It’s funny. I love photographing cats but I do go through long dry periods of catlessness. Fortunately, that ended this week with multiple feline encounters.  On Monday I photographed two kitties, Losang and Deva, for a Pet Food Express My Mutt poster and then had another cat session yesterday (results to be seen later) We’re [...]

Sonora

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 [...]

Fergus the Border Terrier

Posted on 17. Oct, 2008 by Mark.

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 [...]

Ricky

Posted on 17. Oct, 2008 by Mark.

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 [...]
