Welcome to Chickpea Photography

Did you know that canine cancer affects 1 in 3 dogs and that over half of those dogs will die? Help us support the effort to find a cure this February where all month we are donating 100% of your session fee to the National Canine Cancer Foundation. Schedule a photo session today for your dog and help fund important research leading to new treatments and ultimately a cure for canine cancer!

I’ve been playing with a new toy the past few days.  I’m a techie geek sometimes and will admit to getting obsessed with new gadgets and software.  I have just started using Animoto to create DVD slideshows for my clients and I’m having a lot of fun creating them.  So here is my latest, Sophie the very, very sweet pit/sharpie mix I had a session with couple of weeks ago.  Enjoy.

Since we had our grand opening of the new hi-key portrait studio in October, I’ve been keeping busy. I thought it might be fun to share some on my recent clients.

Sit back, turn up the volume and Enjoy!

Today I have a very sweet pair to share with you; Rex and Buffy the Cocker Spaniels.  I’m sorry to say this isn’t my typical sneak peak as my session was a bit of an emergency; you see Rex had late stage cancer.  I’m even sorrier to have to say that he lost his battle with cancer yesterday.  What was obivous to me in the short time we had togehter was that Rex and Buffy adore their humans and Rex was still enjoying the moments he could.  Whether that was sniffing the grass or barking at the dreaded skateboarders.

I am very glad to have spent a glorious fall afternoon on the UC Berkeley campus with Rex, his pal Buffy and their humans, Jeff and Melissa.  I know Rex will be very much missed, but I hope they all find peace in the end to his suffering.

Please meet Rex (smoother coat) and Buffy (curlier coat).

Week 36 – Personalize it.  I choose this photo becuase I thought the expression on Guero’s human was so sweet.  She loves that boy!

Lily would like to remind everyone not to overindulge today.  Be kind to your tummy and don’t forget that dogs like turkey too!
