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

It is always an interesting and often exciting time to have new dogs around. So much fun and energy in the group of dogs that the dog featured in this photograph came to our home with. The group of puppies got along so well. All the puppies even… Read More
The Standard Schnauzer. Most people would probably think of the Standard Schnauzer as a show dog competing in conformation at a dog show. I love seeing dogs turn that on its head. Seeing dogs do something other than what one might expect is a joy. I don’t think I have had the good fortune of seeing a Standard Schnauzer compete in Obedience Trails other than this one time. It is cool to… Read More
