Blog Blog Denver is a great place to be a Pet Photographer.  There are many families with dogs in need of professional photography and a number of talented pet photographers ready and happy to meet their needs. Within this niche market there are even smaller niches. I personally love being a specialist in studio portraits of pets.  While I do get commissioned to do outdoor sessions, they are generally done in my signature style: relaxed, soft and stoic.  

Being part of an ever growing and inspiring network of Denver pet business owners, I've had the opportunity to get better acquainted with some of the other pet photographers in our area.  One of which is Brenda Halverson of Paws in Motion Photography. Brenda specializes in action/sport photography for dogs.  We use different camera gear and have completely independent styles, so we thought it would be fun to do a photo swap with our own dogs so we can demonstrate our unique styles to our audiences.

The swap started with a studio session of Brenda's beloved 10 year old lab "Riley".  He's a sweet boy and I went with a soft cream on cream look that would emphasize his beautiful eyes and gentle demeanor. His mom has taken many fun photos of him in the field. Now she has these DelaFoto portraits, in a clean modern style, both posed and playful, as timeless portraits of her special boy.

Several days after our studio session, my 3 year old sheltie "Ladybug" participated in an early morning outdoor session at Cherry Creek State Park, a favorite spot of ours. Brenda joined us as we explored the expansive terrain and set excited ladybug into action with a red rubber toy. My fluffy little girl is pretty to pose in the studio, but she turns into a whole other creature out in nature! Brenda got action packed pictures of my baby girl in mid flight and full of spunk. 

Both of us walked away with fun new pictures and a better appreciation of how each other work. 

This summer, both Brenda and I are offering photo specials where clients can sample our signature styles.  DelaFoto is hosting "Bubbles & Balls" July 25th & 26th at the studio, with themed sittings just $50 for 15 mins. Paws in Motion will be offering "Dog Days of Summer" with $50 off their session fee, for appointments booked by August 11th. We hope you'll join us for some great pet photography soon!
