Prince: A Pup in Bernal Heights
Posted on 06. Aug, 2010 by Mark.
It’s been a while since I last worked with a German Shepherd or German Shepherd mix so Prince, a recent My Mutt poster model, was just what the doc ordered. Prince was adopted through Rocket Dog Rescue and we met on a foggy, cool afternoon at Bernal Heights park — so much for any city [...]

Ohhhhh Cara Mia
Posted on 29. Jul, 2010 by Mark.
First of all, apologies to regular readers for the drop in frequency of my posts. I normally try to put new images up at least twice a week but I’ve been focusing on getting my new website ready for the past several weeks and blogging has unfortunately taken a hit along with facebooking, tweeting, eating [...]

Napoleone and Angelo: Volpino Italianos in Marin
Posted on 15. Jul, 2010 by Mark.
Before I met Napoleone and Angelo 10 days ago I’d never seen Volpino Italiano’s before. Now I’m definitely a big fan. For those not in the know, Volpinos (the name literally means Little Italian Fox) are part of the Spitz line and can be traced back over 4000 years. Other than being just beautiful little [...]

Penny: A Cute-as-a-Button Yorkie
Posted on 01. Jul, 2010 by Mark.
Even though she only weighs in at a few pounds, Penny –the adorable Yorkie I photographed last week on Nob Hill–seriously packs in the cuteness. It’s virtually impossible to look at her without saying “awwwwww” out loud. Penny’s mom bid on this photo session at an event for the Bay Area Arthritis Foundation so I [...]

Zoey
Posted on 08. Jun, 2010 by Mark.
Despite renewed popularity in the breed due to Bo at the White House, I don’t often get a chance to photograph Portuguese Water Dogs. This changed recently on a My Mutt Shoot for young PWD named Zoey out in the wilds of San Ramon. Zoey’s a cute little girl with a serious bearing — though [...]

Stella on the Beach
Posted on 07. Jun, 2010 by Mark.
There’s nothing quite like a dog photo session on the beach — especially with a high-energy dog who loves being there. Stella, my most recent My Mutt was just such a pup. We met down at the north end of Ocean Beach near Cliff House and Seal Rock on a beautiful spring San Francisco Friday [...]

Moses
Posted on 26. May, 2010 by Mark.
You gotta love a cat named Moses — especially when he lives with another one named Samson. Moses was my latest My Mutt assignment of the feline variety. I was warned in advance that he could be a bit shy around newcomers (check out the first shot below) but after an initial warming up period [...]

Nikki and Sergei: Oh Borzoi!
Posted on 21. May, 2010 by Mark.
I’ve photographed a lot of sight hounds in my day but, until last week, never a Borzoi. I had the pleasure of meeting Nikki and Sergei down in Burlingame for a session and have to say I am now officially a huge fan. The goal of the shoot was to try to get at least [...]

Sophie and Rufus: Greyhounds on Safari
Posted on 20. May, 2010 by Mark.
A few weeks back I had the opportunity to finish up a My Mutt assignment I’d begun in April with a pack of senior greyhounds living up in Novato right near Wine Country. Our first shoot was limited to indoors because of rain so we had to wait a few weeks before phase two. It [...]
