Big dog. Little dog.

These two beautiful girls are Kipu, the Tibetan Spaniel, and Pinuki, the (relatively small) Bernese Mountain Dog.  Pinuki was surprisingly amenable to being photographed, but Kipu… Notsomuch.  Thank you Ireane for sharing your gorgeous dogs with me! Kipu, in one of her many attempted escapes! Pinuki’s big grin for the camera Lovely family portrait of […]

Happy Independence Day!

Just wanted to wish everyone a quick Happy Fourth of July before we went off to go see fireworks and terrify small animals with loud sounds.  On that note, please take a quick read of this article posted on Cesar Millan’s blog (for the Dog Whisperer).  A very worthwhile read! I figured I’d actually create […]

Four Gorgeous Girls!

Tonight Sarah bought her daughter, K., and 2 huskies.  With a family this attractive, how can one NOT take a good portrait?  Anyway, just in love with this group.  The whole family (including K’s grandma and auntie!) came to watch the session – so it was just us girls!  (Yes, I’m referring to Calypso and […]

Hailey’s Cousin

This is Aussie, my cousin’s Austrailian Cattle Dog.  Such a sweetie – very smart too!  And he kicks some serious butt with a frisbee.  Just an all-around good dog! Adam & Aussie (Aussie’s the one on the floor! :D) Looking very regal Closeup! PTHBHTTTT! Some Classic B/W Action. “Who?  Me?  I didn’t do it!” “Can […]

Dachsuhunds, and Pugs, and Chugs, oh my!

Last week, Heather came in with her six (yes, SIX) dogs. She’s fostering these two adorable dachshunds, and I agreed to photograph them for the charity. Her husband is on deployment in Iraq, so we did a mini-OpLove session for him of her and her husband’s favorite little girl. Personal Rant: We’re assuming these 2 […]

Truman the Schnoodle – if that doesn’t say Dr. Seuss, what does?

“Today you are you, that is truer than Truman. There is no one alive who is youer than human.”  (With apologies to Theodore Geisel…)  This lil’ pup is a schnoodle.  Yes, really.  Part schnauzer, part poodle… 100% puppy!  Bouncy and fuzzy and ok, not quite housebroken (hey, puppies pee – it’s not a big deal!)  […]

Eat your heart out, William Wegman

Everyone knows that Weimeraners are among the most gorgeous of dog breeds.  Gertrude, here, was no exception to the rule!  Such a pleasure to work with – she’s a sweetie who will do just about anything for a belly rub.  Treat motivated just enough to sit still (unlike Hailey, who sees food and her world […]

Meet Spartacus

This little white ball of energy is Spartacus, an American Eskimo puppy.  How cute is this little guy?!  American Eskimos are really one of the best breeds of dogs – smart, gorgeous, and above all – never a dull moment!  Check out these images to see what I mean by that… My favorite – his […]

Who doesn’t love Waffles?

…They’re great with syrup, and strawberries… and a beautiful golden puppy coat!  Meet Waffles – she’s a 7 month old golden retreiver mix, and she’s just the sweetest little pup ever!  Full of love, and kisses, and just the most affectionate puppy you could ever hope to meet.  And she’s housebroken!  All the more reason […]

Corgi Love

The great thing about herding dogs is that they are quick to learn.  And the bad thing about herding dogs… is that they are quick to learn.  For example,  when we were housebreaking Hailey, she learned that “squatting” got her play time… not necessarily “doing anything” while squatting.  So she’d run outside, squat, come back […]
