Oh, Mabel! This beautiful 2-year-old miniature Dachshund was part of my recent model search. I haven’t photographed a Doxie in a while and was so happy Mabel answered the call. Look at that sweet face, gorgeous fur, and striking nose… love! #dachshund #dachshundsofinstagram #doxielover #minidachshundsofinstagram #dogportraitartist #dogphotos #dogphotographer #sacramentodogs #sactowndogs #916dogs #sactownpups #dogmodels #longhaireddachshund #sacramentodoxies #sacramentopets #sacramentopetphotographer #canonusapro #dealbone #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper

“Playful, silly, curious, sweet girl” is how Roo’s mom describes her beautiful 2-year-old Goldendoodle.

This photograph has a sweet story behind it. Robin is a kind-hearted person and dog lover who professionally works with people who have cleft lips and palates. How fortunate it is that she and precious Barnaby, a Frenchie, have found each other. 🤍 #dogswithcleftlips #frenchie #frenchiesofinstagram #kindhumans #doglovers #dogmom #dogportraits #sacramentopetphotographer #dealbone #canonusapro #sactowndogs #smile #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper
It’s always a treat to photograph these beautiful doodle dogs. Since Jagger (3rd image) took the spotlight at last year’s session, I wanted Sierra to have her moment to shine. I love that her mom, Cat, does her hair so fun and funky like this. What a star, just like her big brother! ♥️ #doodles #doodlesofinstagram #jaggerdwagger #therapydogs #therapydogsofinstagram #goldendoodle #berniedoodle #studiodogs #dogphotography #canonusapro #dealbone #visitsacramento #sacramentophotographer #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper

This image of Sohl, a beautiful Great Dane puppy I had photographed in 2022, is one of those images that shows great connection. During a shoot, my focus is on the eyes. It’s always about making that connection. When it happens, it’s pretty darn magical, don’t you think? #greatdane #dogsofinstagram #portrait #portraitphotographer #dog #dogsinstudio #lovemyjob #canonusapro #studiophotographer #sactowndogs #dealbone #visitsacramento #fairoaks #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper

Dots on paper! Loved photographing this beautiful Dalmatian trio — a mother and daughters. Dalmatians are energetic, playful, sensitive and loyal. They thrive on human companionship and will pout if left alone too long. 🖤🤍🖤 #dalmatian #dalmatians #dalmatiansofinstagram #sacramento #sactowndogs #eldoradohillsphotographer #sacramentophotographer #petportraitsofinstagram #101dalmatians #canonusapro #dealbone #sacramentopetphotostudio #dogs #dogsofinstagram #woof #dotsdotsdots #lifewithdogs #dogtrio #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper
Meet Maya. She’s a rescue and her parents think she may be a Black Lab Aussie mix, but whatever she is, I think we can all agree that she’s beautiful. #blackdog #blackdogsofinstagram #blacklabaussiemix #mixbreeddog #rescuedog #blackbeauty #dogsinstudio #dogportrait #sacramentophotographer #dogasart #woof #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper
Dogs are so beautiful. Their shapes, coloring, expressive features… they truly are works of art. As a photographer, these are the key attributes I focus my lens on when a dog comes to the studio for a portrait session. But there’s more. I’m also, always, looking to capture their hearts… just as they capture mine. ♥️ #bulldogpuppy #sacramentodogs #sactowndogs #bulldogsofinstagram #dogasart #sacramentophotographer #sacramentopetphotography #dogportrait #minimalistphotography #saywoof #doglovers #dogmoms #dogmomsofinstagram #puppy #lovemyjob #canonusapro #visitsacramento #916dogs #petphotography #petphotostudio #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper
Meet Cooper, a gorgeous 2 year old black lab. I love his playful spirit and that pensive expression in the last frame. Such a sweet boy. His mom says Cooper is loved most by his family for his unconditional love. #blacklabrador #blacklabsofinstagram #dogslife #dogphotography #dogportrait #playfulpuppy #minimalistphotography #saywoof #sactowndogs #sacramentopetstudio #canonusapro #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper

Meet Bogey! He’s a 10.5 year old brindle and white English Bulldog. I loved having this nearly 70-pound love bug in the studio recently. Bogey loves to snack and found the treat jar filled with @milkbone . Next to snacking, his mom shared that his absolute favorite thing to do is sleep. Well, all that beauty rest sure paid off for this beautiful boy.

Oh, Betty! This sweet pug will steal your heart! She’s gearing up for Valentine’s Day with a cute heart sweater from Leash & Collar Sacramento, and lots of hugs and kisses to give.

Going through the archives and found this little gem of me and my puglets, Cash + Chloe in San Francisco 2012.

First session of the year — a pair of beautiful Corgis! Gracie + Archie were all smiles during our recent session. Playful, fun and full of personality. Loved photographing this sweet duo and their doting mom! #corgis #corgisofinstagram #sacramentodogs #dogphotography #sacramentopetphotography #sacramentophotostudio #sacramentopetphotostudio #minimalistphotography #canonusapro #dogportraits #sacramentopetportraits #sactowndogs #classicportrait #dogsonpaperstudio
It’s a new year and a great time to get back to basics. In 2000, I took a photography class at UC Berkeley. I fell in love with shooting black + white film and printing in the darkroom. There’s something magical about seeing an image you’ve created develop before your eyes. Kodak’s Tri-X 400, TMX 100 and TMZ 3200 films were favorites of mine. I was inspired by photography greats like Walker Evans, Elliott Erwitt and Richard Avedon. Digital technology has made it easier than ever to create and appreciate monochrome images. My goal this year is to create more classic and beautiful black + white portraits for my clients. In a world of color, black + white photography transcends time and trends. It reminds us that sometimes, less is indeed more. #blackandwhitephotography #monochrome #sacramentopetphotographer #dogportrait #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper
Oh, hello 2024! I’m so excited for this year, photographing new dogs and familiar ones, too. I have a new website to share and exciting plans for the months ahead! I’m also changing things up a bit. In keeping with my less is more, minimalist style, I’ll be offering one session option, but what’s offered with the session is entirely up to you! I can’t wait to share more on that soon. #sacramentodogs #sacramentopetphotographer #sacramentodogphotographer #sactowndogs #dogsofinstagram #minimalistphotography #dogphotographer #classicdogportrait #studiodogphotography #canonusapro #woof #dogmoms #portraitphotographers #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper

Oh, Lola! What a beauty. Loved having this 6 month old Xoloitzcuintli in the studio. My first time photographing this wonderful breed. Lola’s mom describes her as playful, curious, flirty and majestic. #xoloitzcuintli #xoloitzcuintlisofinstagram #sacramento #sactowndogs #dealbone #dogphotography #dogphotographer #dogportrait #doggoddess #sacramentopetphotographer #petphotography #blackbeauty #fashionabledog #dogsofinstagram #doglover #canonusa #916dogs #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper
From the archives. My beloved pug, Bogie, taken in my San Francisco studio in 2006. Swipe left to see the “before” shot. He was always by my side while working, and he was loved by many — clients and fellow photographer friends that stopped by the studio. He loved sitting on the seamless paper… he knew he was going to get a treat! Miss his sweet face. 🖤 #pug #pugsofinstagram #sanfranciscodogs #sanfranciscophotographer #dogsofinstagram #dogphotography #dogportrait #pugsarepeopletoo #pugmom #doglover #dealbone #canonusapro #bogie #missthatface #beloveddog #sacramentophotographer #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper
Reflecting on Small Business Saturday… In the past year and a half, since I’ve returned to photographing dogs after a long hiatus to raise my humans, I’ve met a lot of wonderful people, photographed a lot of beautiful dogs, stepped out of my comfort zone to try new things and quickly learned — sometimes the hard way — what works and what doesn’t. I’ve had three studio spaces within that time frame. My current space is smaller than my last but, nevertheless, it allows me to do what I love. I’ve asked clients when booking a session, “What do you love most about your dog/s?,” and the answers varied, but the message was the same — the love of a dog is unconditional and pure. We are so fortunate to have their love and they deserve to be honored with a beautiful portrait. What I do is truly a labor of love. Thank you again to those who continue to support me. I appreciate you! 🖤 #smallbusiness #smallbusinesssupport #sacramentosmallbusiness #reflection #dogphotography #sactowndogs #dogphotographer #dogportrait #lovemyclients #grateful #canonusapro #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper
Thanks for being here and supporting my small business! My love of photographing dogs began way back in 2000. I’m a life-long pug mom (Buddy is my fifth!), and being around dogs brings me joy (and helps my sanity as I’m also a mom to two human pre & teen boys!). Thank you to my clients for allowing me to do what I love. I’ve recently relocated my studio to Carmichael, and I look forward to welcoming you there for portraits in the new year! 🖤 #smallbusiness #sacramento #smallbusinesssaturday #photographer #dogphotographer #sacramentophotography #dogs #dogsonpaperstudio #dogsonpaper
