    Calendar Session – Earl

      Earl picked an incredibly rainy day for his portrait session. Often times for cats, it doesn’t matter. We hang around inside to keep them contained. But for Earl, outside is where it’s at. But lucky for me, Earl will go along with just about anything. So, when I slid under the table to get…

    Calendar Session – Posy the Scaredy Cat

    Posy is a little shy. She wasn’t all that interested in meeting me at first, but everywhere she could truly hide had been closed off, so she didn’t have a lot of choice. She was sort of ok with me being there after a few minutes, but when I approached with my camera, it was all…

    Calendar Session – Rupert

        Rupert is a sweet cat. He’s laid back, and enjoys being pet. He likes to hang out by the window and watch things go by. Rupert has a sister cat named Misha, who was planning to be in the photos, but her shy nature sent her off into hiding when I arrived.    …

    Calendar Model – Marshmello

    Marshmello lives in North Seattle, with his 12-year-old owner and their family. He is part Siamese, and all cute!       One of the things Marshmello likes to do while hanging out at home is hold down your head and bite you like your hair is an animal he wants to eat! What fun…

    Calendar Session – Olivia Kicks Off the Cats

      Olivia: Isn’t she gorgeous? She’s a young cat, still not even a year old! We had lots of fun playing during her photo session.       It was easy to get Olivia’s attention. She wants to explore everything that moves! The hard part was keeping her still. I had to be ready and…

    Calendar Session – Meet Callie!

      Callie. Look at those eyes. Look at that beautiful coat, and those sweet, pointed – yet floppy – ears. She is a gorgeous dog.       From time to time you can convince her to play. She’ll chase a stick a few times, but she probably won’t bring it back to you. She’ll…

    Calendar Model – Little Sammy

      This little dude will melt your heart. His name is Sammy, and his big eyes have “puppy” written all over them.     Sammy is proud of his home, and he will go to great lengths to protect it. When I arrived the day of the photo shoot, he greeted me with gusto! Later,…

    Calendar Session – Meet Augie

      Meet Augie. Here he is, near the entrance to his home, ready to greet you. Augie is a mutt, if I ever saw one! After running a DNA screening, his owners found out the specifics of his cute-dog mix: dachshund, schnauzer, shitzu, and dalmatian!     Augie is a very proud and determined dog.…

    Calendar Session – Max

      This is Max; short for Maxwell Marshawn. She’s a sweet young girl, named for two awesome Seahawks players (one of whom has since moved on to another team). She’s a true Seattle pooch!     I had the pleasure of hanging out with Max at Volunteer park. She is an energetic young thing, poised…

    Calendar Session – Tooey Rocks the Modeling Job

      Since I work with regular people and their regular pets, it’s not often that I meet a dog like Tooey. This amazing boy is incredibly well behaved, and has a fantastic glow of confidence to match his fantastic story.     When Tooey’s family started their search for a dog, they were looking for…
