Two of my favorite things came together for a My Mutt shoot last week: a senior dog and a classic San Francisco landmark, in this case the Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina. You’ll be seeing more and more of these location-specific shots for upcoming My Mutt subjects so be on the lookout for [...]

I love senior dogs–especially happy ones–and Gina, my latest client, is both for sure. Gina is a gentle giant of a girl, a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix with a pretty constant smile and a predilection for sloppy sits in clover patches near her home in the San Francisco Sunset district. Gina is recovering from a recent [...]

When Sarah’s dad told me she was a Dachshund-German Shepherd mix I have to admit I pondered how that could have possibly worked out (daddy was the doxie, by the way). Sarah turned out just fine and will be celebrating her 16th birthday this year. Her image will soon be gracing a My Mutt poster [...]

I don’t get to Bernal Heights as often as I should. It’s got some of the best views in the city and is a great place to bring your pup for a light urban hike. I met my most recent My Mutt pup, Ann, and her dad there last week on one of the few [...]

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 [...]

Last Sunday I got to do two of my favorite things simultaneously: hang out with great dogs and see some of the best scenery Northern California has to offer. Josie, a very senior Dalmatian, and Pumpkin, a spry seven-year old Golden belong to none other than Doug McConnell, former host of the long-running Bay Area [...]

Big dog, small dog combos are always a treat — especially when the little guy is the boss and brains of the outfit. Meet Chester and Molly,  soon-to-be My Mutt stars. Molly is a German Shepherd with the coolest floppy ear of all time, Chester a senior Pekingese (13 1/2 years young) who runs the [...]

Last week I got one of those calls you love to get. One of my favorite rescue groups, Muttville, has just hit a major milestone: they’ve just rescued their 500th senior dog after only being in existence for  2 1/2 years. To honor the occasion, Pet Food Express is donating a My Mutt poster featuring [...]

I love my job. Not only do I get to hang out with people who absolutely adore their pets but I get to capture that relationship for them. I’m reminded of that on virtually every shoot but, in certain cases, I’m really struck by how truly lucky I am to be able to do what [...]

I few weeks ago I mentioned I had a dog & cat combo shoot for an upcoming issue of the San Francisco SPCA magazine. While, ultimately, we didn’t get a cover-worthy shot of the two together  the day was salvaged with some lovely solo portraits of Tessie the dog (15 years young) and Monkey the [...]
