On my second-to-last day in California I photographed little 12 week old Arlo in Seal Beach. Baby Arlo is a Wheaton Terrier, he’s still got little black tips on his puppy fur and sharp little needle teeth. He loves to romp and play with Sasha and Henry (the house dogs) and in his first few days of training he’s already learned sit, down, watch, touch and “go settle” – he’s a smart, smart boy! Not to mention adorable…
At the end of the day… He was one tired pup!
While in California last month I had the distinct privelage of photographing Mr.Charley McAllister: a fine Golden with extra fun parents! We met at the Huntington Beach Central Park just near the library and found all kinds of great corners of the park to play fetch, climb on furniture, steal the stage and take a walk.
Charley is very well behaved and like most Retrievers, can’t enough of sticks to catch, de-bark and generally consume.
And of course nothing is better than a tennis ball tossed by dad!
I just love his little puppy feet!

Katie and Phoebe live on Bainbridge Island and their parents bought a photo shoot for them at the Kitsap Humane Society Auction. They primarily were interested in family photos so I set out to keep the very young Katie and the easily distracted Phoebe interested in me.
We had a typical overcast January day and Katie had more treats than ever! But in the end we all settled by the fire for some final fun shots 
*A side note, look for one of these photos on the side of a Kitsap Transit bus in the near future – Phoebe and Katie may soon be poster-girls for the Kitsap Humane Society.

I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah at her home near the studio in West Seattle. Sarah is having a bit more trouble getting around these days, so we took all our shots in the living room, mostly on the couch by her favorite big window. Sarah’s parents wanted mostly close-up shots of their mellow girl, doing what she does best… lounging, mouthing a variety of her favorite toys, chomping on lettuce, and being a love-hound.
Sarah acquired her affectionate nickname as “The Beetle” when she was a pup and a hip ailment caused her to walk in funny, abrupt side-to-side movements – her mom said she used to imagine little squeaky noises with every step, and compared her scurrying to that of a beetle. No matter what you call her, Sarah is one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met and I just loved getting to know her a bit during our morning together.
