I love supporting our local animal shelter. Fortunately we live in a community that supports them as well. One of the great things we get to do is attend local events that our shelter holds to raise awareness for the shelter pets. I am always happy to see people out with their dogs and it is even more meaningful when they are there to show support for our local shelter. Photo details:… Read More

I had a fun time meeting new dogs, playing, and taking photos. There is always a good time to be had meeting new dogs. Apollo really enjoyed playing with this dog toy. There was a nice big… Read More

For 8 years I volunteered at our local SPCA photographing dogs there so that they would have high quality photos to publish online. Having good photographs of shelter dogs helps them find homes quicker. Photos of happy dogs having fun show the dogs true personality and how that will manifest once they are out of the shelter. I had so much fun helping dogs in this way. I really miss doing this…. Read More

As someone who loves to be outdoors there are so many different aspects of being outdoors that I enjoy. There are a lot of simple mundane things to be found in the outdoors that bring me joy. The texture of tree bark. Noticing when the wildflowers are blooming. Sitting in the shade under a tree. But often I crave something different from my outdoors experiences. I often seek some type of new… Read More

Sierra was our longest lived dog. She was the first dog. The dog that started it all for us. Such a mild mannered dog. She was like the peace keeper in the house. Any time dogs or cats for that matter got out of hand she would step in and stop it. She was a constant presence. A shadow. Moving silently with us as we conducted our daily lives. I love this… Read More

Paxton. What to say about this dog. Paxton was amazing in many ways. He was an amazing loving and fun dog. He was also amazingly challenging. We had such adventures with him. Hiking. Climbing mountains. Splashing in water. Fetching sticks. Camping. Too many memories. But we crammed so many memories with the short time we had with this dog. In this photo Paxton is sleeping by the camp fire on a vacation… Read More

I always wanted a Husky. Then we had one. Now we have had Mojo the Husky for 14 years. Mojo has been with us longer than all but one dog that we have had. Mojo is such an odd dog, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. He often just wants to be alone. But he has been more affectionate in his old age. I love this high contrast portrait I… Read More
