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...

Bonnie & Barbara

Barbara Martin, the Animal Communicator that met with Bodhi and me, stopped into the studio this week with her furry friend Bonnie for a photography session!... Bonnie is an 11 year old yellow lab that still has a spunk in her step! What a pleasure it was to photograph their special connection!

Wags, Willow and Snickers

I've known Dianne for years as our paths cross on the "pet event circuit"; Dianne at the Northern California Weimaraner Rescue booth and me at my pet photography booth. Eventually I became more involved with the FABULOUS Weim Country Gala by donating photography sessions to their fundraiser auction and having my mobile studio at the event. We've long talked about setting up a photography session at Crissy Fields of her four canine companions. Sadly, her GSP passed away in the blink of an eye. Dianne and I have had many emails of support go back and forth in the last few months as our beloveds symptoms started on the same day - her Cookie passing after a few short days and my Bodhi passing after 4 weeks. We decided that we should waste no more time! Today I had the pleasure of photographing her two Weims, Willow and Wags, and Snickers, a Rhodesian mix - all rescues! What fun we had!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!.... It's hard to believe that little Biella has been with us for a whole year now!... But it's even harder to believe what an important roll she's played in our lives the past few months. Her enthusiasm, love and spirit far surpass her 5lb body. She brought us comfort through our loss of Bodhi and reminded us that there is joy even in sorrowful times. How lucky we are!

Dog Days of Summer at the Westin St. Francis

Our photo booth at the Westin St. Francis Dog Days of Summer event was a hot ticket! Wow! We appreciate everyone that stopped in to have their photo taken! We had a blast and are proud to have helped raised money for the San Francisco SPCA!....

Who can resist Chanel!?...

Recently, at the Dogtopia grand opening, I met the nice people of Four Paws Rescue and one of their adoptable dogs. Chanel is an absolutely adorable little Chihuahua and Italian Greyhound mix. It's hard to believe this 5lb little girl was found wandering the streets of Oakland all by herself! FP saved her from an Oakland animal shelter after she failed her temperament test (a little distrustful of humans she snapped at someone, causing her to fail). That's when FP stepped in. She's spent the last five months in a foster home and is now "home ready". She will make a fantastic furry friend. I have to admit I was quite taken by her!
