One-on-One Dog Photography Mentoring Sessions

If you haven't heard yet, I'm now offering one-on-one dog photography Mentoring Sessions, and I'm pretty excited about it! I love helping other photographers succeed. It's a real win-win for everyone because not only do Mentoring Sessions allow my students to learn and grow and build their business properly and achieve true success - it also is a chance for me to revisit all the lessons I've learned over the past ten years while running my own successful dog photography business.

An Old Chihuahua on the Couch

I've been cleaning out my hard drive recently, and have unearthed some real gems. Like this dog portrait from many, many years ago. It's such an old image that I don't even remember the session.... I'm sure it was photographed in San Francisco at the beginning of my career because I was still using my Hasselblad 500c (and Ilford HP5 medium format film, of course. What else even is there?)

Santa Fe Dog Photography

For the next six months I'll be living and working in Santa Fe, New Mexico to develop a personal photography project and take a breather after a few very busy years of dog photography commissions, multiple exhibitions and completing a book tour. Pheyoo! During this time I'll be accepting Santa Fe Dog Photography commissions in and around the Santa Fe area.

DownEast Magazine: Dog Friendly in Maine

This past Summer I was approached by DownEast Magazine- Maine's premier travel and lifestyle publication. They were pulling together a very special Summer issue all about dog friendly Maine, and my black and white dog portrait of dogs at San Francisco's Chrissy Field caught their eye. It's an honor seeing this huge image introducing their list of dog friendly activities, dog friendly hotels and dog friendly Maine vacation spots both online and in print.

Young Love (and dogs) in The Berkshires

This was a pretty special dog photography session in the Berkshires. Exactly one day after I met these wonderful humans and their dog Sweet Pea - they were engaged! How magical. I could tell things were astir when we met by the Smith College Pond in Northampton, Mass. There was an air of giddy love and secrecy, which made our photography session so much fun!

Central Park and a Cavalier King Charles

Sometimes I forget how hot and humid New York City can get in the Summers. Well, it can get hot. And humid. This dog photography session in Central Park was so much fun, but I sure got sweaty. That's ok, because after photographing dogs for the past ten years I've learned how to work through lots of challenging conditions: barking dogs, dogs who escape, dogs who jump into the pool, dogs who pee on me, rain, snow, and even super hot days where you think you might pass out.

New York is the best Back Drop

Though I've never, ever wanted to live in New York City, I will be forever enchanted with photographing there. As an East Coaster at heart, there is a true grit to New York that cannot be found anywhere else. It is something about the old buildings, the centuries of dirt and grime, the beautiful architecture hiding in corners of every park, the way light filters through buildings and trees and old iron gates, and those iconic New York City park benches.
