Autumn Along the Skykomish River

Fox & Hana Take a Trip to Mt. Baker

 

A Star is Born

Last August, I received an email from Getty Images regarding the licensing of one of my photos of Fox. He was being considered for a major ad campaign for  Takara-jima Publishing in Japan. Here's his ad as it appeared in six Japanese newspapers and in the NY Times and Washington Post. The Lab is not my image, the Shiba Inu is my dog, Fox. The photograph in the ad is a composite.

Shaka

What a fantastic little dog! Shaka is a Manchester Terrier. Like most terriers, her personality is larger than life. I think I managed to capture a little piece of her soul.

 

 

 

 

Reggie! Ready for Adoption!

We met in Olympia on a stormy autumn day for this session. For half an hour, the heavy clouds parted and gave us some glorious sunshine to get these shots before darkness and rain returned for the day. Reggie is available for adoption. (Family Dogs New Life Shelter)

Tansey & Romeo

Carmen

Adopted from the Seattle Animal Shelter six years ago, Carmen enjoys the good life with daily trips to the park. Instead of a classic portrait, the goal for this session was to capture the time this 4-legged fur child & her human companion spend walking and playing together at one of their favorite places.

Rez Dogs: Laguna & Lucy

On Christmas Eve Day, 2009, two friends found themselves on a trip from Portland, Oregon to Sacramento, California to bring two dogs from the Fredonia Humane Society in Arizona to Portland for adoption. Carrie and Cheryl planned on fostering each dog until homes could be found, but within a few days, each adopted the dog they were fostering. Carrie adopted Laguna (aka Goonie), a mixed breed dog she'd first met as a puppy while volunteering at FHS. Cheryl adopted Gracie, also a mixed breed who strongly resembles a Pit Bull Terrier, who became Gracie-Lu, and is now known as Lucy, Lucy Lu or Lulu. These dogs had come from an area known as The Gap on the Navaho Reservation. Lucy had been picked up wandering near a dump with a litter of pups. Laguna had been picked up as a pup on a separate trip.

Fredonia Humane Society is closing and has 7 dogs left awaiting adoption. You can find the dogs listed on facebook: Fredonia-Humane-Society
