Some Cats and Kittens for Caturday

I just loved this petite little looker; I'm sure she got adopted quickly. Such pretty coloring!

And of course who wouldn't fall for these fluffballs?

Film Friday - Maria

Maria and I met up on a gorgeously sunny afternoon at the top of Strawberry Hill in Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park. We had two rolls of film, and a mission: to get some lovely portraits of her.

Maria, you're stunning.

I just love the character of Fuji's Acros 100 - hands down, it's my current favorite black and white film, so crisp and fine and clean, and with just gorgeous tones.

Then we switched to color, and made use of the flowering plum trees.

The light was fading fast, so this last shot isn't quite in focus as I'd like it to be (one argument for shooting digital, definitely!), but I just love the feeling of it.

Thanks Maria!

Rooney, Kim and David - San Francisco Pet Photographer

I had to think a bit when I was ordering the names in the title of this post, but in the end, it was really all about Rooney. He was the star of the show.

Kim contacted me after adopting Rooney from my shelter (shoutout to ACC - love ya!), because she'd fallen in love and wanted some photos to commemorate Rooney's first few weeks in his forever home.

Let me tell you, she didn't have to twist my leg all that much to make me say yes.

Now Rooney just so happens to be the cutest, scruffiest little fox-like mutt I've had the pleasure of clapping eyes on, and although he wasn't one to sit still for the camera much, we still got some great shots together of Mr Rooney doing his thing.

Nose to the ground. That's very important.

Aren't they a good looking family??

Oh yeah. Give me the ball. Gotta have that ball.

Time to play hide and seek in the grass.

And then tug of war.

I just love that face!

Thanks Kim and David for sharing little Rooney with me - what a fun session!

Pet Pride Day 2013

These photos are a bit overdue - they've been languishing on my hard drives since October of last year, and I still love some of the costumes, so I thought I'd share them with you.

Pet Pride day is an annual San Francisco event that takes place in Golden Gate Park usually close to Halloween. People are encouraged to bring along all kinds of pets and to costume them as creatively as they can. As you can see, there are a lot of very patient dogs in this city!

Of course, not only dogs can get dressed up . . . .

And some other pets made appearances.

I just loved the chinchillas - they were so soft!

And of course I've always been a big fan of rats.

This animal was not up for adoption, sadly . . .

Legally Blonde! I loved this costume.

The cutest cowboy there . . .
