Welcome to DelaFoto's Photography Blog. Look for Denver photographer, Ariane's latest images & personal stories about recent photo sessions and more.
In the Studio: Sidney & Ella
What could be more lovely than a sweet girl and her fluffy little Cavachon puppy? Last week my studio was graced with the presence of beautiful Sydney and her new 3 month old puppy "Ella". Her grandmother brought them in for a "Mini" photo session.
A half hour was plenty of time to get an adorable collection of images with both models being so agreeable! Ella was relaxed with every pose and was probably wondering what all the fuss was about. Syndey was gleaming with her long golden locks, bright eyes and cheerful pink and blue outfits. Such innocence! Just so pleased with the results, couldn't wait to share.
Portraits are a great way to commemorate a new addition to the family.
Colorado Pride is a Hit!
Just look at this happy face! This is "Winston", a puppy pug winning hearts a Overland Animal Hospital for our first "Doggies of the Rockies" pet photo special! He was right at home with our Colorado flag theme as well as rugged bandanas and more. The theme was a hit and I really enjoyed playing with these unique props and sets showing off some Rocky Mountain pride.
Dogs of all shapes, sizes and colors showed up and got bold and colorful pics for their families to enjoy. Now that the photos from these sessions are done, I just completed my latest video compilation to share online.
Of course, for anyone who wants this look at their standard & mini pet sessions, I'd be happy to set them up. This style is a great option all year round.
Unleashed at Bark!
Happiness is: Dogs playing off leash in a shaded outdoor playground outfitted with of K9 grass, slides, pools, doggie cupcakes, and lots dog loving people! That's what Denver area pups got to enjoy this past weekend at Unleashed's 2nd "Yappy Hour" at Bark! Doggie Daycare & Spa.
This fundraising event benefitted Colorado Pet Pantry and was big hit. Just look at all these smiling faces! DelaFoto was the official event photographer and along with the many fun photo ops, it was a chance to get acquainted with the great staff at Bark! (just down the street from our photography studio). I also got to chat with folks from a variety of pet organizations and businesses that were there supporting the cause.
I have plenty more images to share, check them out in this fun video and photo gallery!
In the Studio: Bobby Orr
All my pet photography starts out as a color digital file, but some dogs just look so good in classic black & white. This was the case for "Bobby Orr" an impressive chocolate colored standard poodle.
His coat was perfectly coiffed, and his gaze so compelling. I had fun converting his image to a striking monochrome, showing off his fine details and elegant pose. It's a timeless look and perhaps a future metal print will be added to my studio sample collection.
This look may not be appropriate for all pets, but it sure worked great for this awesome boy!
Hops, Harley, Hugs
Like people, some dogs are natural born superstars drawing attention where ever they go. This is Harley, a mill dog rescue and now beloved spokesman for National Mill Dog Rescue. He is a public figure with over 50,000 fans on Facebook and just won the cover contest for Modern Dog Magazine. His public appearances draw big crowds, touch hearts, raise awareness for the plight of mill dogs and help generate funds for rescues.
I met Harley and his wonderful family for the first time last week at Denver's Bark Bar. He's sweet, confident and loves hugs, not to mention giving kisses! The "Meet Harley" event was a big success and had a great crowd of caring folks. Click the pic to see more event photos of Harley & friends!
