Last weekend a client gave me a wee bit of somewhat deserved grief for not featuring more Golden Retrievers like his beautiful dog, Maya, on my site. “Afterall,” he said, ” They’re only one of the top 5 most popular breeds in the country.” Odd, I thought, I know I’ve photographed more than my fair [...]

I had a great shoot with a nice little guy named Topper last weekend. Topper was recently adopted from San Francisco Animal Care & Control and he ended up in a great home with a dad who just adores him. One of his dad’s friends gave the session as a gift.

I’m a complete sucker for older dogs. They get so much nobler and mellower as they age and I love the way ones with darker fur mask as they gray. I met a nice old fellow named Diego last weekend on a shoot for veterinarian starting a house-call business here in San Francisco. Diego is [...]

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.

Of course, anyone visiting a blog called Smile Like a Dog will be a bit surprised to see pictures of cats. While most of my pet clients are of the canine variety I do get my fair share of feline posers and I have to say I’ve had a run lately with cats of the [...]

For those of you unfamiliar with the dog scene in San Francisco there’s quite a few breed-specific groups that meet up in the cities parks on a regular basis. The barrier to entry is somewhat dependent upon the group. Some will allow dogs who aren’t purebred, others won’t.
Those of you who’ve read my blog in [...]

I got some coverage on the Photopreneur blog this week. They contacted me because of the shots I take for Give a Dog a Bone but then things sort of expanded from there when they found out I’ve done pro bono work for a bunch of different organizations like Aids Legal Referral Panel - I [...]

Scrambling for that last-minute Mothers Day gift? Looking for a something unique to give mom or dad on their big day this year? Sure, mom loves the flowers showing up on Mothers Day and Dad loves getting another Rep tie on Fathers Day but what about trying something different this time. If mom or dad [...]
