PWDCNC Holiday Party | Sunol Pet Photographer

2011-12-06T15:05:00.000-08:00

It's always a pleasure to get to take portraits at the Portuguese Water Dog Club of Northern California holiday party!...

Holiday Photos | Alameda Portrait Photographer

2011-12-06T12:52:00.000-08:00

We had a blast donating our photography services for the Holiday Photo fundraiser at Dog Bone Alley! It was a record year, with 40 sittings, raising over $1,100 for the Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter!

Magic and Django | Pet Portrait Photographer

2011-11-18T09:19:00.000-08:00

I have had the pleasure of photographing these two lovely labs a few times over the years. They will soon be moving to the East Coast, so it was fun to squeeze in a mini-session before they go. Look at those sweet faces and striking electric eyes!

Oh Maggie! | Pet Portrait Photographer

2011-11-17T11:06:00.000-08:00

Maggie's adoring mom had told me that Maggie was beautiful, but blind. What I didn't expect was her effusive spirit! 10 year old Maggie has learned not only to carefully navigate her home, she has learned to trust her mom's directions. She posed like a pro. And I don't think the smile on her face or the wagging tail stopped for a moment. What a pleasure to get to photograph this special girl!

Dottie and Flicker | Oakland Pet Photographer

2011-11-16T11:04:00.000-08:00

To know them is to love them! Dottie (take a guess!) and Flicker are two curious, playful and sweet kittens. They were not shy for their session, posing and playing the whole time.

Holiday Photos | Castro Valley Portrait Photographer

2011-11-14T13:05:00.000-08:00

What a fun day we had at Pawsitive Karma taking holiday photos of the furry ones! This event was a fundraiser for Rottie Angel Rescue.

Cody and Caylee | Tahoe Portrait Photographer

2011-11-10T17:36:00.000-08:00

What do you get when you send a photographer to one of the most gorgeous places on earth to take pictures of her favorite breed of dog? One giddy photographer!

Cody and Caylee, both rescues, are two beautiful and sweet Rottweilers! Having come from hard times it is heartwarming to know these two found such an amazing forever family! Cody and Caylee were both exceptional models for me and despite a hazy sky we got some stunning images!

2011 Weim Country Gala

2011-11-08T09:39:00.000-08:00

I can't say enough positive things about the Gala! I just love it! The organizers are incredibly hospitable, the attendees are generous and fun, the location is stunning, the vendors are top notch, the food is incredible, the wine delicious... and the dogs... well, the Weims are simply irresistible!.... It was an honor and pleasure to be the event photographer.

Golden Gang of Love....

2011-11-03T15:04:00.000-07:00

As most of you are familiar, my studio style is to keep it simple and neutral. Lots of grey backdrops. But lately I've had this little fantasy of doing a session on a bright color. I couldn't resist when this client said she wished to have her Golden's photographed on TEAL!... Not only was it fun to shoot on this bright color, Nacina's gang of Golden love was just to die for... some of the most beautiful, happy and delightful dogs ever! Hannah (The Poser), Teala (The Love) and Katie (The Puppy) are from her breeding program, Dave (The Rescue) is the foster that they couldn't let go... All of them were a pleasure to photograph!

The Stelmach Family

Bay Area Pet Fair 2011

2011-09-12T12:33:00.000-07:00

The Bay Area Pet Fair and Adoptathon (sponsored by Pet Food Express) is back!

This is our favorite fair of the year! Great people, great pets and great cause! Over 400 animals were adopted and, as you probably know, this is a cause that I am passionate about. My two adopted dogs accompanied me to the event. In fact, it was at the 2008 BAPF that we adopted our Chihuahua, Biella, from the Berkeley East Bay Humane Society!

The TPP booth was pleased to be participating. We booked some private sessions and also did single shot sessions at the event. Here are some highlights:

Biella, our Chihuaua, adopted at the 2008 BAPF

Tony and Rosie

2011-09-01T15:46:00.000-07:00

Tony is a 12.5 year old Flat Coat Retriever that came from the SPCA when he was just 6 weeks old. Even if I hadn't heard about Tony's story before, when I arrived it was clear he was a special dog with deep soul. When first contacted about doing a session, this handsome boy's proud mom had written, although recently retired "Tony visited terminally ill children. He had the ability to sense when a child's death was imminent (24 hours or less). After a year of never 'missing', the doctors/nurses began to notify family. There were countless times when parent(s) that were about to 'take a break' (going back home, to work, business trip, etc) but stayed close by when told of Tony's alert. I have dozens and dozens of letters from parents, siblings, nurses, doctors telling me what a gift Tony has and the incredible joy he brought to so many children."

New to the family is Tony's little Corgi sister. Just 6 months old, Rosie can bring a smile to anyone's face with her fun and playful ways!

Ellyse and Hadley

Kinsley

2011-08-24T19:15:00.000-07:00

A sneak peek from Kinsley's photo session... She is SO adorable and we had so much fun!

Cameron Marie

2011-08-11T18:17:00.000-07:00

Cameron Marie may be only 6 days old but she was a pro for her photo session!

Harry

2011-08-05T08:47:00.001-07:00

This strikingly handsome Springer Spaniel, Harry, told his human-mom (via animal communicator) that he was "Fabulous and Famous"!... no argument here!

Summer fun!

2011-07-07T11:47:00.001-07:00

Summer fun! These two 11 year old Lab mixes, Betty and Ralph, had a blast during our photo session at Redwood Park.

Big Love - Dahlia Rose

2011-06-24T12:57:00.000-07:00

It's hard to believe that a 110lb Rottweiler Pit Bull mix would be shy, but it's true. Dahlia wants no part of trouble, she is all lovin. I traveled to Laurelwood Park in San Mateo for our photo session. Although Dahlia was a pretty poser, what struck me most about our photo session was the connection she has with her 'mom'. It was so much fun to capture their bond...

Elliot and Mason

2011-06-16T09:50:00.000-07:00

Everyone loves a pretty posed picture, especially of pretty posers! But what I love most about a photo session are the other moments... The in between moments, the play, the details... watching for those little things that speak about the essence of a subject.... Yesterday I got to spend some time with two wonderful German Shorthair Pointers. Young boy Mason, approx 7, did run circles around older 'brother' Elliot.... but 14 year old Elliot's sweet spirit was alive and well. And even though it was the hottest day of the year so far, he was loving being in one of his favorite spots!

Sailor Moon and Happy

2011-06-09T14:51:00.000-07:00

Izzy and Co.

2011-06-08T09:49:00.000-07:00

I first photographed Izzy a couple of years ago so it was a pleasure to see her again, just as adorable as before. This lucky little girl has a house full of critters... and some of them even joined our photo session! Noodles the bunny, Trinity the dog, even Christmas the chicken (!)... but her favorite was Brownie the kitty... Let me see if I remember her full name correctly; "Brownie Cookie Sugarpie".

Sam and Miranda

2011-06-03T14:48:00.000-07:00

I thought I knew what to expect. I had been told that 12 year old Sam, the Aussie, has cancer. Had I not been told I would never have known. Admittedly, Sam was not quite as active as his 10 year old Border Collie 'sister', Miranda. But really, who can keep up with a Border Collie!? They played and posed like pros. What I did not know was how many times in the last two weeks Sam's devoted mom thought he would not make it. The day of the photo session Sam's energy was good, his spirits high ... and I hope the photos show how much this sweet and handsome boy enjoys life.

Sailor Moon and Happy

2011-05-28T14:11:00.001-07:00

These two SFSPCA rescues, Happy and Sailor Moon, came to the studio today to pose for my camera! Good job!

Best Friends Super Adoption event 2011

2011-05-25T20:17:00.000-07:00

I volunteered my photography services to take New Family Photos at the Best Friends Super Adoption event in Los Angeles. Over 390 animals found forever homes at this event! This video shows some of the 150 that came through my photo booth...

Kosmo and Penny

2011-05-14T08:33:00.000-07:00

The weather forecast called for a cloudy morning in San Francisco. Good thing we didn't believe it. I headed out to Crissy Beach this morning with Penny and Kosmo and what a glorious place it was to be! Penny, rescued two years ago, is the most mellow Boston I have ever met, what a sweet little girl. Kosmo, on the other hand, was constantly on the go. Fast!

Sunny

2011-04-20T10:30:00.000-07:00

There's no doubt this Golden's name is a reflection of her personality. From the adventure Sunny took me on, through the hills of Mill Valley, I never would have guessed that she recently had health complications (including taking out her spleen!). We wish Sunny a continued recovery to keep that spring in her step for many more adventures!

Web Site

Faster than a speeding Jack!

2011-04-10T11:45:00.000-07:00

In typical Jack Russell fashion, most of the session looked somewhat like the last photo. Luckily, these two handsome boys, Archie and Clancy, slowed down just long enough to get some beautiful portraits too!

Beau

2011-04-10T11:13:00.001-07:00

Nine month old Beau came to my studio flashing those baby blues! What a fun and easy going little dude!

Baxter Bliss

2011-04-09T09:07:00.001-07:00

On a beautiful Friday morning I had the pleasure of photographing Baxter at one of my all time favorite spots, Crissy Field in San Francisco. Baxter's bliss was infectious! In between zooming all around, in and out of the water, he struck some very striking poses for my camera. This young and playful Portuguese Water Dog certainly was in his element!

Business Portraits

2011-03-28T07:18:00.000-07:00

I'm very pleased with the changes I made last week to my business portrait site. Gotta get those headshots done!

Grace, Cadence and Faith...

2011-03-27T17:52:00.000-07:00

One of the enjoyable things about photographing families is that you really see the kids grow! I've been photographing these girls since the oldest was the age of the middle sister... These girls are always a pleasure to photograph. Three very different personalities, all wonderful!...

Penelope and Natalie

2011-03-21T12:21:00.000-07:00

The last time these two were in my studio, little sis Natalie couldn't even sit up by herself... Wow! She has grown! How much fun it is to watch families grow. I realized I've been photographing this family for almost four years now.

Twelve for Twelve

2011-03-21T11:20:00.000-07:00

The time does fly by too fast!... Each year, around Mia's birthday (my step-daughter) we do a photo session... The last of the 'tween years have arrived... my oh my what a little lady she is becoming!...

Tough Love

2011-01-22T14:02:00.000-08:00

Tough in looks, sweet as can be in personality. I was very excited to photograph these two striking subjects on a recent trip to Los Angeles. Dax, a shy and sensitive boy, is the adopted brother to energetic and playful Dakota. They are lovely and, with their opposite personalities, endlessly entertaining!

www.tonyaperme.com

Taylor and Jax

2011-01-21T12:22:00.000-08:00

Two bundles of cuteness, a whole lotta energy and a very devoted mom! 10 year old Taylor gives recently adopted 2 year old Jax a run for his money... at least when the squeaky toy is involved! These two photogenic and energetic pups just kept hamming it up for the camera...

2010 NCWR Weim Gala

2010-11-08T14:36:00.000-08:00

What can I say? The Nor Cal Weim Rescue's annual Weim Gala is truly one of my favorite events of the year! It's a wonderful group of people and dogs! This year the event was help at Trentadue Winery and was just spectacular. We were happy to see our donated photography session go for top dollar in the auction, helping to raise money for this great organization!

Priceless Penny

2010-10-22T15:58:00.000-07:00

On a typical foggy San Francisco day I got to photograph Penny and her little buddy Ullee at Crissy Field. It's not hard to see why this is Penny's favorite place! Penny hasn't let her 13 years dampen her spirit, this sweet girl just loves her ball... and the water!

www.tonyaperme.com

Dozer

2010-09-28T17:43:00.001-07:00

What can I say?! To know him is to love him! Dozer's owner might not want to admit the soft spot he's got for this ol' Bulldog but as a pet photographer I am witness to a whole lotta love between human and pet and I have to admit, these two have a bond I rarely get to see.

Open House

2010-09-21T12:11:00.000-07:00

I'm super excited that my photography will be decorating the walls of Dr. Rettig's new holistic veterinary practice! Join me at their Open House this Saturday from 10-1 in Lafayette! (I've donated a photo session for their door prizes!)

*Due to space limitations, this event is for us silly two-legged creatures only.

Berkeley

2010-09-18T14:50:00.000-07:00

2010-07-21T11:15:00.000-07:00

It's always an honor to photograph a woman's belly in pregnancy - the life, the unknown, the future... but it's extra exciting when it's family! My cousin is having her first baby and I was honored to document this exciting time...

Photo Day at Alternatives for Animals

2010-07-19T17:12:00.000-07:00

Anyone familiar with my photography knows how much I just LOVE pet abstracts and close ups! So you can imagine how happy I was to get a call from Dr. Rettig at Alternatives for Animals in Lafayette, asking me to decorate her walls with my photography. She also wanted the animals on the wall to be the of her practice,... so we held a photo day right there in the treatment room and got lots of fun shots! We're in the selection process now but soon my images will decorate the walls of her holistic practice. Here are a few of my favorites from the day...

Indigo

2010-07-14T13:37:00.001-07:00

Indigo knows just how lucky she is to have found her forever home with Crystal and C.J.! This shy 6 year old girl, rescued through Nor Cal Weim Rescue, is coming out of her shell nicely thanks to all the love and care in her new family.

Mr. B Bear

2010-07-12T16:37:00.000-07:00

What better way to start the week than to have a session at Crissy Field with a gorgeous Samoyed?!... Baillie (aka Mr. B Bear) is a championed show dog but that wasn't what was on his mind. This 11 year old boy had all his attention on the ball, even when human mom, Fiona, wanted to give him a little lovin hug...

Ronin

2010-07-02T09:03:00.001-07:00

A Boy and His Grape...

2010-06-14T19:30:00.000-07:00

Emily is a dear friend of mine... We were roommates many, many years ago... Emily always wanted to get married, move to Novato and have a family... by golly, she's done it! Three and a half year old Roy has taken to calling the belly "Grape"...

3.5 months, 4.5 pounds... 100% cuteness!

2010-06-14T09:19:00.000-07:00

Golden Love

2010-06-06T08:59:00.000-07:00

You never know how love will find you. Apricot was a neighbor's dog that Kimberly would occasionally dog sit and hang out with... but it was more. There was a connection. Over the years the neighbor's family grew, adding another dog and a few children. Eventually they decided to move back to the East Coast. Not wanting to see sweet Apricot leave, Kimberly let the neighbors know of her attachment to this golden dog and that her home was open to him. They let him stay. I believe it was meant to be. Their connection is evident. This 11 year old boy has the love and spirit of a pup.

Mira at 9 days old...

Sammy and Rita

2010-05-29T18:29:00.000-07:00

Sammy and Rita, two very happy pups, posed for my camera before moving to Tuscon. I know their mom had a gazillion things on the 'to do' list, but she graciously took the time for our photo session. Bon voyage guys!

Let's Hear it for the Boys!

2010-05-28T14:57:00.000-07:00

I started my day with Jeffrey, Patrick, Ray and Jimmy ... all lucky rescues that have found the good life with dog trainer Martina Contreras.

Jeffrey, 13 the senior of the group (and what a sweetie he is!)

Jimmy, the smallest but perhaps the mightiest of the group

Ray, the shyest of the group (can't blame the guy after you hear his story)

Patrick, 100% Border Collie... 'throw the ball already!'

Welcome to this big ol world Mira!

2010-05-27T17:27:00.000-07:00

Location Location Location

2010-04-24T08:17:00.000-07:00

Am I inspired or just crazy?!...

I am working on a list of locations for my client resource page. I already have a long list of fantastic locations to shoot at, but when I pull out the map there seem to be an endless plethora of parks to investigate. Well, inspired by my last day of location scouting and the sunny weather; I am on a mission! I want to check them all out and make my list of location suggestions as complete as possible. So I'm gonna grab my camera, get the dogs and head out and hike!

I am always on the lookout for great locations. If you have a spot that you enjoy and think it might work, please share it with us and I'll check it out. I'm talking anywhere from San Jose to Santa Rosa to Livermore. I travel all over the Bay Area for private sessions.

Also, I am particularly keen on finding stone walls, fallen trees and quaint bridges. Know of any?

I anticipate that my "mission" will take quite some time! But I am excited to get out and enjoy the plethora of open space and beauty available to us in the San Francisco Bay Area! What a special place we live.

Loading...

No Really, It's my JOB....

2010-04-23T08:55:00.000-07:00

Inspired by the awesome weather and feeling optimistic that the sun will be making more appearances, I took the day to scout out some locations for photography sessions. There are several parks that I had never been to and wanted to check out. This, of course, means hiking the trails... and I might as well bring my own dogs! So I grabbed my camera and off we went... Found some excellent spots to add to my list of location suggestions...

We are always looking for locations that work well, whether for dogs or people. If you have a favorite spot we'd love to hear about it so we can check it out.

2010 Bark & Whine Ball

2010-03-27T11:17:00.000-07:00

We had such a fun time commemorating the evening! Great people and dogs! We think this is one of the best parties in town (and that's not just because I'm on the CLAW Board of Directors)... We are honored to participate in such a wonderful fundraiser event, too!...

Sorich Family

2010-03-17T20:44:00.000-07:00

The weather did NOT cooperate when I met with the Sorich family at the Palace of Fine Arts! But we all hung in there, they kept those smiles, the kids splashed in puddles and in the end, we got some really fun photos of the whole family. Some of whom were visiting from afar. Thanks guys!

Cocoa came to my studio today for her close up. I don't think I've ever seen a tail wag SO much! I hope that means she had a good time.

Let the Weims Begin!...

2010-03-04T15:20:00.000-08:00

Ashton and Luci , two beautiful girls, came to the studio today and we had a great time. In typical Weim fashion, you'd never know Ashton was closing in on 13 years. She's just as active and spunky as her 3 1/2 year old 'sister' Luci!....

The Bark and Whine Ball is near!

2010-03-02T08:54:00.000-08:00

The Bark and Whine Ball - This is such a fun and fabulous event! Music, food, drinks and dogs everywhere! We will have the photo booth up and running to commemorate this wildy entertaining evening. It is well worth the price of admission. Not to mention that it is a fundraiser for the Cinderella Fund of the SF-SPCA. A fund dedicated to helping the neediest of animals at the SFSPCA. A good time and a good cause! We'd LOVE to see YOU there!

Astro - Large, yes. In charge, not so sure... this big guy is just wants to do good and be loved!

Goldie - Sweet, Sweet Goldie....
Joe - Not so impressed with the bright lights and big cameras, eh... still looks cute!

Daisy - 9 month old Daisy is a snuggable mellow little gal!

Speaking for Spot

2010-02-15T08:36:00.000-08:00

I receive Dr. Kay's email newsletters and today's information I feel compelled to share. We've all been there, at the vet with our beloved furry friend, hearing the astronomical cost it will take to make them better. It can feel so unfair if funds are low. Dr. Kay has a listing, on her Speaking for Spot web site, of organizations that are available to help. She says "Many of these organizations help only in emergency situations such as accidental injuries requiring immediate care, long term health problems requiring surgery or ongoing treatment, such as orthopedic repairs or chemotherapy for animals with cancer. Some can also provide pet food and other assistance to seniors and people with serious illness or disability."

I must highly recommend Dr. Nancy Kay's book "Speaking for Spot" to all the dog lovers out there. And not because a photo of mine appears in it. Nope, because it is a book full of helpful resources and valuable information.

Dozer

What can I say?! To know him is to love him! Dozer's owner might not want to admit the soft spot he's got for this ol' Bulldog but as a pet photographer I am witness to a whole lotta love between human and pet and I have to admit, these two have a bond I rarely get to see.

Open House

I'm super excited that my photography will be decorating the walls of Dr. Rettig's new holistic veterinary practice! Join me at their Open House this Saturday from 10-1 in Lafayette! (I've donated a photo session for their door prizes!)
