Jaci Sue & Matt : 14 Years Strong

Catherine & Michael : Red Rocks, Colorado {Portraits}

Catherine and Michael have been wonderfully loyal clients who happen also to dish out great travel advice.  They were the impetus behind the Crazy Bitches’ stop in Tofino (go if ever you get the chance), and are currently on a two-week road trip with their dogs in a pop-up camper which is about as awesome as it gets in my book.

Prada & Her Big Heart

One day a few weeks ago I washed our dogs.  Then Roux did living room laps until she dried while I blow dried Prada, which took two hours.  By the end of it she looked so pretty I took her portrait.

Hudson

Hudson is a 7-year-old, 3-legged Great Dane with the kind of grace so many dogs have and so many people find elusive.  He’s got a cancer diagnosis too, but you’d never know it.  He’s a handsome boy, and a happy one, too.

Mike & Harlow : One Year

Mike [English Bulldog] + Harlow [Chocolate Lab], at one year.  The first time I photographed M + H they were eight weeks old.  Editing these images of them from last week inspired me to dig into the archives, and some of these then + now comparisons were too good to pass up.

Lola The Pug

Ellen and Lola the Pug live in Denver, in an adorable house with a rust-orange chair.  Lola has a backyard big enough for a dog much bigger than she is and she takes patrolling it seriously.  She’s about as quirky as that velvety old chair, a wedding present for Ellen’s parents thirty odd years ago, and it’s safe to say Lola is as much a part of Ellen’s story as that chair is.

Domingo & Lucy

This Jen.  The tattoo across her knuckles says “LONE STAR” because she is from Texas and proud of it.  She is the human component in a threesome that includes Domingo, a Newfoundland-Chow mix and Lucy, a Shih Tzu. Jen has killer style and so, by default or osmosis, do her dogs.

Good In Everything

Pueblo Mountain Park is  a 611-acre open space area between Pueblo and the Sangre de Cristos in Colorado.  It’s a well-kept secret at the end of a long road that nobody drives down unless they already know what’s at the other end.

We were lucky enough to spend a Saturday morning there with my dad’s old truck, a hot thermos of coffee in our hands and a couple of good dogs at our feet.
