In my work with shelter dogs I mostly worked with out local shelter. But on a few occasions I was able to go out and volunteer my time at a shelter a little farther away. 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

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
Any opportunity I get to photograph a dog. I will take it. We love to go to any kind of dog related event we can find. Sometimes the wineries in our area will have dog related events at their locations. One of our local wineries had a fun event that included vendors selling dog related items. The event also included several dog rescues who had dogs there who were available for adoption…. Read More

I was volunteering there photographing the dogs and cats. We each separately thought to ourselves I love this dog. Before too long we she found her way to our home. This photo is from a… Read More
We have had many dogs pass through our doors. Some dogs we were fortunate enough of share long portions of our lives with and others not so much. We have had a propensity for takin in dogs that have unique challenges. Some life events perhaps could be foreseen others could not. And every tale of the life of a dog spent with humans comes to its own unique end under unique circumstances…. Read More
How It Ended The last two years with Brynn have been hard. Harder for us than I think they were for her in many ways. She developed a back issue that that severely limited her strength and coordination in the rear of her body. The initial fear was that this was a severe degenerative disease. Fortunately this turned out not to be the case. Around the same time she developed her onset… Read More
We enjoy taking our dogs out whenever we can. This obviously includes going for walks. When we can we will take multipole dogs with us. As someone who is obsessed with both photography and dogs I always try to make this equally about photography as it is about out dogs. This local park is a perfect place for both dog walks and photography. There is a nice flat path to walk on…. Read More
There was an interesting alignment of circumstances that created the opportunity for this photograph. We already had one foster dog, Comet, at our home. Then Chloe need to have a foster home so she could recover from a severe case of mange. These two dogs really hit it off. They were best of friends while they were together, To be fair Chloe was best of friends with everyone. IT is a really… Read More
