Hey everyone! I’m participating in Rover.com’s Tail of 20 Cities, celebrating my dog Bailey and our city of San Diego, along with 19 other photographers from around the world! Check out all the different city/pet portraits here: Tail of Twenty Cities Photo Journey and feel free to join the fun by posting a own picture of your own pooch representing your city with the hashtag #RoverCities!

Bailey and I visited Coronado for this project – because can you believe that view of San Diego at sunset?! Those colors make my photographer heart happy…

(Although Bailey was a little more interested in the birds that flew by…)

The we headed out on the pier for a better look!

And just for fun, a little throwback… you can tell this photo is a few years old because there’s no gray fur on her face… (sob)

You know what? Why stop here?! This post has got me thinking about “quintessential San Diego” photos… and I have no shortage of those, thanks to my clients and their pups! Here are some of my favorite photos at various locations around town, modeled by just a few of my favorite dogs!

Maverick at the dog beach (well, one of the dog beaches!)

Lucy, Gracie & Scarlett in Presidio Park

Haley & Teddy at Sunset Cliffs

Trevor & Tori and their parents – that’s San Diego (Bay Park) in the background!

Garnet, hiking at Mission Trails

Foxy at the botanical gardens in Balboa Park

Stella, on Coronado (with the Hotel Del in the background, of course)

Candice, in North Park

 Mister Mister and his parents, out for a sunset walk on the beach.

What a fun project – I love San Diego! And who better to explore it with than all these dogs?! Thanks for inviting me to participate, Rover.com – I can’t wait to see all the other portraits from photographers around the world! :)
