Rescue Rocky | Fort Worth Pet Photographer
One of my favorite parts of this job is how close I feel to my clients by the end of the process. I had the pleasure of meeting Fabi when I got to photograph her sweet pups, Goose and Maverick. When I delivered their artwork, I met one of THE sweetest pit bulls ever who Fabi was fostering! Naturally I had to get this gorgeous guy in front of my camera to get the word out about him, and what better location than among the rocks of the Fort Worth Water Gardens?! Here's what

A Keepsake for Kaya | Dallas Pet Photographer
Annie contacted me in April to photograph their 13 year old shepherd mix, Kaya. She and her fiance, Davis, were preparing to get married and leave for their honeymoon in Costa Rica, and she wanted to ensure they had beautiful photos of their girl before they left her behind for two weeks. [Are you tearing up? No? Ok maybe that was just me. Sniffle.] After talking with Annie about her vision for their images, we planned Kaya's pet photography session for Klyde Warren Par

How To: Pet Photography
Last week I wrote about making sure I photographed my own dogs more often. I've been talking with several of you who got new cameras for Christmas, so what better segue than a crash course in photographing YOUR pets?! Here are five things I try to keep in mind when working, and the thought process behind some of my images. I'll also include camera settings under each image, so you can get an idea where to start. Keep in mind, everything is variable with the amount of ligh

NEW Year, NEW Gear
I am constantly working to take my photos to a new level, and 2015 proved to be an amazing year of mentorships. I had the incredible opportunity to learn from two of my biggest idols in the pet photography industry - Kaylee Greer of Dog Breath Photography and Barbara Breitsameter of Poppy Blue Photography. They helped me to really push my work and grow as a photographer, and for that I am forever grateful. At the beginning of each year, I like to set goals for myself. I pr

Sunset, 2015 | San Diego Pet Photographer
You may have noticed it's been a little quieter around these parts for the past month. I've had my eye balls glued to the photo editing screen churning out the end-of-the-year session rush and wrapping up all sorts of gorgeous dog art for my amazing clients. I'm in the midst of taking a few weeks off to rejuvenate and work with my own pack, but I got a call from the Great Pyrenees Association of Southern California Rescue (GPASCR) wondering if I could spare some time for a

Frida the Xoloitzcuintli | Balboa Park, San Diego Dog Photography
I have ALWAYS had a huge appetite for learning, and of course one of my favorite topics is DOGS! So when the opportunity to photograph a gorgeous hairless Xoloitzcuintli knocked on my door, I was all over it! Xoloitzcuintli - or Xolo, for short - were officially recognized by the AKC in 2010. The word Xoloitzcuintli is derived from the Aztec god, "Xolotl," and the Aztec word for dog, "itzcuintli!" The breed is a member of the Non Sporting Group, and is described as loyal,

Hank the Saint Bernard: From Tijuana to Tank | San Diego Pet Photographer
Two weeks ago, I was the proud mom of four giant rescue dogs, affectionately known as The Pope Pack. Life was crazy, but to us it was normal. Doesn't everyone have a Bernese Mountain Dog, a Mastiff, a Saint Bernard, and a Great Dane under their feet in a small San Diego home?! We agreed we were "done." No more dogs! {ok maybe at least until we bought a bigger house...} All of that changed with one Facebook post describing the plight of a young Saint Bernard who had been ch

Emi & Misty | Temecula Huskies
San Diego definitely offers some gorgeous pet photography locations, but head about an hour north to Temecula and there's a whole nother world of scenery! I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to do a pet portrait session with Husky sisters Emily and Misty amidst the pastoral backdrop of lush grapevines and rolling hills. These two dogs were an absolute riot - their expressions, the bond between them, the exaggerated head tilts to the sounds of squeaky toys - so much fun!

Great Pyrenees Puppies | Adoptable Dogs in San Diego | San Diego Pet Photographer
I had the pleasure of doing a mini photo session with two of the most adorable puppies at one of my favorite spots to do pet portraits -- Mission Trails Regional Park near Santee in east San Diego. A Good Samaritan found these two Great Pyrenees sisters abandoned in an alfalfa field east of Bakersfield in Lake Isabella. Every effort was made to track down the original owners but it became more and more apparent these dogs were dumped and nobody was ever coming back for them.

The Pope Pack: Lifestyle Pet Photography
One of the best parts about being a pet photographer - outside getting to spend time photographing the cutest dogs and cats around - is the awesome community. I'm lucky enough to be a member of a group of very talented pet photographers that extends far beyond the borders of San Diego, beyond Southern California, all the way out to places like Australia! Recently, we were challenged to document a day in the life of our pets. It's so easy to get caught up in scheduling clie
