It's LIVE! It's LIVE!...

I feel like "Tattoo" in the show Fantasy Island "the plane, the plane!". I'm just so excited!...

I've been working very hard on getting this new web site up and running. You know how technology can be! Things that should be easy, are not. And things that should take a week, take a whole month. Ah, but it's done, it's launched. Now, of course, I have a long list of tweeks and improvements and additions, but that is another story. For now, I'm pleased to present....

Cha Cha

Cute little Cha Cha made it into the studio for a fun filled session. At first she was a little shy, then her 'mom' got out the t.r.e.a.t.s and she did a little dance for us! Even her handsome friend Rio stepped in for a portrait. These buddies both found their happy forever homes through the Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation! Yeah!

I'm working hard on a new web site! Very excited! Hoping to launch by February.

Abi & Bluto

These two are both such sweethearts! We had lots of fun in the studio with these adorable models...

The Mobile Upload...

In the past year or so I have been longing to reunite with some of my film cameras... not the beloved Mamiya RZ or even the Nikon F4... I've longed for the happy accidents and unexpected loveliness of my Toy Camera collection... The Holga, The Diana, my Graphlex Speed Graphic, the Yashica, the Voigtlander, Lubitel, Lomo or even the ...good old fashioned Pinhole!... These cameras are old friends to me. Friends I haven't put film in for years. Not since the emergence of my digital age. I am often asked what my preferred format is; film or digital. Professionally, there are pros and cons to both but digital makes the most sense. For personal projects however, hands down; film. Through the lens of the above mentioned collection my vision becomes inspired. I truly SEE differently. Textures. Patterns. Art.

I recently had the revelation; my iPhone is my new Toy Camera. There is very little control. It is not perfect. I always have it with me. This is where those happy accidents can occur. So I've decided to embrace this new vision.

I have a new friend.

California Christmas

What a fun family! Holly, Scott, Jake and George live near this glorious backdrop in Aptos! Jake just may have been the easiest going kid I've ever photographed! What a sweetheart!

Santa Paws

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Santa Paws fundraising event for Berkeley East Bay Humane Society at Dog Bone Alley, Alameda this weekend! We had a fantastically fun time donating our photography services and helping to raise money for such a worthy cause!

Fun Fundraising!

I have recently teamed up with Northern California Weimaraner Rescue and created a calendar to raise funds for Weims in need. I have donated my photos so that 100% of the profits of the calendar go to the NCWR!

The NCWR is a non-profit volunteer organization. The calendar is available through the NCWR's online Cafe Press storefront. All proceeds from sales of the online store benefit NCWR! One hundred percent of all donations to NCWR support its effort to find loving forever homes for unwanted Weimaraners. This effort requires funds to cover costs related to veterinary care, spay/neuter procedures, boarding, supplies, administrative overhead, and more.

Help make the life of a Weimaraner better when you shop!

What a fantastic day we had at the Weim Country Gala this weekend!... Perfect weather, great location, beautiful dogs and some of the nicest people around!... We met lots of new dogs and got to say hello to many familiar faces. And, even if only in a few words, we were honored to remember Cookie and Shadow and Bodhi. Our canine guardian angels.

What a wonderful day!!....

I love my job!

My day began with this beautiful duo! Turner (left) and Emma (right). Total sweethearts. Turner has only been with his forever family for a year. He was a rescue and is said to be 50% Golden 25% Visla and 25% mystery... hmmnnnn..... Doesn't much matter to his family though as they love him 100%.










Then I was off to this energetic group! Yep, count'em - SIX! We worked for it but it was worth it!....



These two, Squiggles and Shadow, are the latest additions to the family...
