Running on the grass, going for a walk around Balboa Park, playing frisbee and just hanging out with your best friend….sounds like the perfect day. And I think for Colby, this black retriever, it was. Both Julia and I love dogs. Our yellow lab, Roxy, is always laying at our feet when we are on...

Learning from the Master – Shooting Kids Workshop with Jay Reilly
Last Friday I got to live Jason’s dream and attend a Jay Reilly workshop. Jason was insanely jealous, as he should be. I spent the day getting lighting, camera and business tips from Jay Reilly and hanging out with a group of great photographers. We used Artist Alley in Oceanside for our first photoshoot with...

Brulee – San Diego Pet Photographer?
This weekend we got to go see a new member of our extended family. Our great friends just got a new puppy. She’s a vizsla that’s super sweet, gentle, and going to be a wonderful family pet. We’re so excited to see this little pup grow up.

Our kids
Our kids are a bit sick of having their picture taken. Like many other photographers, we’ve filled memory card after memory card of “test” shots of our closest moving subjects. Usually, these days our camera is met with a hand and a “don’t-point-that-thing-at-me” look. This last week, I was fortunate enough to get a moment...
He’s seven.

the wonder dog
“The Wonder Dog”…that’s what we would call him….cause we “wonder” what he is. Yesterday was a very sad day in the Schafer house. I had to take Max to the vet for the last time. Not something that we had planned on the day before Christmas. He’d had a lot of trouble with his hips...
