Hey, Mo!
Posted on 17. Jan, 2010 by Mark.
The last time I worked with Mo’s mom it was on a My Mutt poster for her four bunnies. At a recent animal rescue event she mentioned to the good folks at Rocket Dog that she might be interested in adopting a dog and, lo and behold…Mo! What a find. He’s a sweet old Cocker [...]

Cosmo: Life Goes Counterclockwise
Posted on 10. Jan, 2010 by Mark.
When Cosmo’s mom told me he was black lab and he liked playing ball on the beach I wasn’t terribly surprised. What did catch my ear, though, was that he liked to go in counterclockwise circles when he was on that beach. This I had to see.
We met at Crissy Field on an overcast January [...]

Girlie Sue
Posted on 08. Jan, 2010 by Mark.
I first met Girlie Sue a couple of years ago when she and her had showed up at Under One Roof in the Castro for a pet-photo day I was holding there. We ended up photographing her with a pink boa (one of my favorite shots of all time) and her dad later had that [...]

Andy – Big Dog in a Tiny Package
Posted on 21. Dec, 2009 by Mark.
Sometimes when a dog is given a more human sounding name it doesn’t always work — I met a Dalmatian named Steve once and didn’t really think it fit him him very well. Other times, as in the case of Andy the Yorkie, it’s a perfect match. Andy is a spry 13 and recently won [...]

Snoopy & Gemini
Posted on 18. Dec, 2009 by Mark.
Lately I’ve had a lot of shoots down on the coast near Half Moon Bay. It’s beautiful down there with dramatic views of the Pacific and a classic coastal small-town feel. And boy, do people love their dogs there. My last shoot was in Montara, a few miles north of Half Moon Bay with two [...]

Amira & Panther: Dog and Cat Living Together
Posted on 17. Dec, 2009 by Mark.
Dog and cat combos are always a lot of fun and my session with Amira, an adorable terrier mix, and Panther, an aptly named midnight-black cat, was no exception. Amira is a rescue from Jerusalem, where her mom worked a number of years ago while Panther joined the family two years ago from the Silicon [...]

Daisy & Callie
Posted on 10. Dec, 2009 by Mark.
You have to love a dog with a Mohawk (I know, I live with one) and Callie, a lovely Blue Merle Aussie Shepherd I met last week has a great one. I photographed Callie and her friend Daisy, a Border Collie, for a My Mutt poster last week down in Redwood City and we had [...]

Holiday Pet Photos: ‘Tis the Season
Posted on 09. Dec, 2009 by Mark.
The holidays are truly here and I’ve been up to my elfin ears in antlers, beards and santa hats for the end-of-year rush for seasonal cards featuring everyone’s beloved pets. Last Saturday I spent the afternoon at the Pet Food Express Market Street store photographing dogs with Santa Claus. The shoot benefited a well-known local [...]

Colby: On The Ball
Posted on 07. Dec, 2009 by Mark.
Last weekend I had a great session with a beautiful Sheltie named Colby in Stern Grove park. Colby was fairly reserved initially but as soon as his red ball came out it was time to play and that’s when the fun started. Colby, enjoy your sneak peek…

5 Happy Hounds in Half Moon Bay
Posted on 04. Dec, 2009 by Mark.
When I heard I’d be photographing 5 dogs and two people at the same time for a holiday card I had a flashback to my very first professional shoot which was for two black lab mixes and a toddler all wearing santa hats. Let’s just say that’s still one of the longer shoots I’ve ever [...]

Buddy: A Boy and His Ball
Posted on 25. Nov, 2009 by Mark.
Some pet names just fit perfectly and Buddy, a sweet little pitbull I photographed last weekend, is a case in point. Buddy is the kind of a guy you just want to hang out with. He likes sticking close and he’s a big foot sitter–resting his rump on your shoes, generally while holding one of [...]

Teddy: So Very Cavalier
Posted on 24. Nov, 2009 by Mark.
Any shoot involving a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is pretty much guaranteed to be fun and my session with a young Cavie named Teddy last week down in Atherton was no exception. When he’s not hanging out with his mom and dad Teddy loves playing with his collection of well-chewed toys or keeping an eye [...]
