I'm excited to be bringing my "Instant Doggie Photo Booth" to RTFacts Gallery in Kent, Connecticut tomorrow for a big Mother's Day book signing event. I'll be signing copies of Finding Shelter, as well as talking about the book to guests and Little Guild volunteers, staff and supporters.
Read MorePhotographing dog siblings is a really special opportunity. Just like human siblings, dog siblings have their own language, their own complex relationship structure, and their own complicated kind of love. Some dogs get along perfectly with the other dogs in their family, and some just have a harder time. Whatever the situation, I love when clients commission me to photograph two dogs together.
Read MoreI've got two really exciting Finding Shelter book tour events coming up this month (May) on the East Coast - one on Mother's Day, and one the weekend after. If you're anywhere near Connecticut or Massachusetts, I'd love to see you there! Make sure you come up and say hi. I'd love to meet you and any/all dogs you want to bring my way :)
Read MoreThe 'Finding Shelter' book tour has been amazing so far! I've been doing book tour events on both the East and West coasts with more events happening through the Summer (you can see a full list of Finding Shelter book signings here: www.findingshelterportraits.com/events).

Read MorePancake and I are on Cape Cod for a little time off, and to work on a personal project for a bit. This morning we woke up to an amazingly beautiful and fluffy snow storm. Big chunks of snow were falling and the ground already had about 4 inches!

Now, that does sound a bit extreme, I agree. 6 years?! 720,000 attempts?! You'd think that after the first year or so he'd just give up, or realize maybe he needs to learn a bit more about nature photography.
Read MoreThe past month has been very busy in the studio, with multiple rounds of production and countless fine art dog photography prints going out the door. I love being busy, I love seeing the floor beneath my mat cutter covered in scraps, and my production table stacked high with weighted prints flattening before getting sleeved and boxed and shipped to clients.
Read MoreThough the work I create for my clients is always deeply personal and emotional, I rarely put myself in front of the lens or open up about what matters truly to me as an individual. Yet as I finally claw my way out of what has been a very dark and frightening past week, one thing has become clear to me - artists always return to the work.
Read MoreI recently went through my old hard drives in my office to compile some work, rearrange some very old dog photography folders, and dig up some gems to share on social media. What I found was surprising, even to me. There were some real winners in those earliest San Francisco dog photography sessions - some, like the ones I've posted below - were too good not to share with you.
