Exciting News – Voted #1 Pet Photographer in San Francisco

Mark — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 15:55:27 +0000

I’m a bit stunned and completely humbled to announce that I’ve been voted the #1 Pet Photographer in the Bay Area by my customers, fans and readers of the San Francisco Chronicle and SFGate.com. To the many of you who took the time to vote and write all those wonderful reviews, I thank you. Without supporters like you this just would not have been possible.

Lexington, the Maltese Yorkie Mix

Last weekend I met one of the cuter dogs I’ve ever photographed. Lexie (her mom spent some time in NYC) is an adorable little maltese-yorkie mix who has her new mom — a first-time dog owner — completely smitten. After our first session I definitely joined the club.

Lexie hasn’t completed all her shots yet so we’ve split the session in two with a first round indoors and a second go after she’s cleared for ground-touching. I can hardly wait to see her puppy her way around the dog park.

Under One Roof Photo Event

Last Saturday I held my first monthly photo event down at Under One Roof. We promoted it as being for pets and kids but the vast majority of the folks that signed up for it brought dogs. It was a lot of fun. The folks at the store are great and pretty much rearranged the space as I needed it and let me use any of the merchandise I wanted to for props. Most of the clients opted for the pseudo-studio setting with either a leather bench or red dog bed (and in one case, a pink feather boa)

Out of this shoot came two of my favorite shots of the year – a lovely Boston Terrier named Girlie Sue and a Pomeranian named Hershey and his colleague, Missy (a chihuahua mix). See it and many other of my favorites down below
