I had such a great response to this on my dog photography facebook page I wanted to share on my blog, too!

Trail Greetings! Colorado Dogs on the trail.

I had the opportunity to photography the Cloutier family with their DoodleDogs, Turbo and Jassi. This is my favorite place to shoot – and happened to be the view this family has from their deck! You can’t go wrong with the Continental Divide for a backdrop!

Here’s a selection from a dog photography session with Jane K. and her pups. We shot in my “back yard” which – thanks to the USFS – has all new views.

I’ve added a complete gallery from this Colorado Dog Photography session at LITfoto.com.

I love when people relax in front of my camera and have some fun with me while shooting portraits.

I will begin a new Colorado Dog Photography marketing program soon. Here are a few of the materials I’m working on. These will be in PDF format with links directly to my Dog Photography section of LITfoto.com. I also ordered some really cool new tshirts and will post those as soon as they arrive. If they go over well, I’ll have a few versions printed and make them available for sale! For now…here are a few dog photography marketing samples.

My last posting…months ago (!) was of a dog photography session with Pete, who I had the opportunity of shooting in the studio. Here are two of the images I layered into a composite.

The composites are 16 x 20 and the image of Pete’s face is a 20×30 Gallery Wrap Canvas!

Gallery Wrap Canvas prints are a beautiful way to turn your photography into wall art. The images are printed on archival canvas and wrapped on a 1.5″ or 2.5″ Kiln-dried pine frame. These Gallery Wrap Canvas prints also feature open backs and pegs in the corners which allows the prints to adapt to humidity changes.

I am adding a couple more from Pete’s Colorado Dog photography session! These first two are clearly the hits of the session! I love the B&W images, too, for the way they portray a connection. Simple. And the last dog photo? Well. Tis the season!

Here are just two of the many fun dog photographs I captured of Pete during his studio session at LITfoto this week. Pete’s human, Eleanor is a veterinarian. This is one trick she wanted me to see! He was able to wait an amazingly long time before SNARFING!  And wow, was he FAST! What was so funny, is that as we continued repeating the trick, he figured out to “accidentally” let the treat drop off his nose – knowing we’d give him another go at it! I haven’t finished editing these yet, but wanted to put these two out there!

Wompas and Manu, two Wirehaired Pointing Griffons, recently visited the LITfoto studio for a session. The shot of Manu with dad’s shoe was a candid captured during the course of shooting! I love allowing for dogs to be themselves in front of my camera. This is my first session with Griffons and I was amazed at how intelligent and responsive 2-year-old Manu was with me! Wompas, at 12-years old, is captured to show off an amazing beard!

When it comes to photography of families, there is no telling what a studio session might be like. When Michelle & family from Alpine Veterinary Practice (Dillon, CO 80435 970/468-2144) came into the studio I had no idea what to expect from this mix of family photography, infant photography and dog photography!

Michelle & husband Chaz, one infant, one four-year-old (Cody) and two 11-week old lab puppies. Piece of cake. Sure. And when we were done shooting…WOW! I surprised even myself! Here’s a selection from an amazing session! I even had energy left to photograph the puppies by themselves when we were done.

Michelle and Chaz were great, leaving the pups alone for me to “work” with (ha ha ha). Okay, so it requires patience and a great sense of humor for puppy antics! The last set is a series of the pups posing, then falling prey to each other!
