DelaFoto Celebrates 2 Years
Two years have gone by so fast! Taking a break to celebrate DelaFoto with friends, associates and clients is something I've looked forward to for months.
We had a super time at The Bark Bar, a fun venue for guests & their pups.
Thank you to all who participated and those who couldn't attend but showed so much support.
A gallery of pics is on Facebook. The evening went so quickly. Now back to work!
Vet Stars 2014!
The 3rd Annual "Battle of the Vet Hospital Stars" was last weekend and DelaFoto was the official event photographer for the day!
It was my first time at this exciting and highly entertaining fundraiser event. It was an impressive show of creativity in costumes, teammanship and stamina. I was exhausted just watching them!
The "Battle" was all for a great cause. An amazing 51 veterinarian hospitals participated this year, nearly $18,000 for PetAid Colorado's Disaster Relief Program. Team photos, competition highlights and the awards ceremony photos are all online and ready for viewing at Battle of the Vet Stars Gallery on check out the fun video on DelaFoto's YouTube Channel!
In the Studio: Angelyne & Eric
It's when a photo session can tell an inspiring story about special relationships that I'm my happiest. Last week, I had the pleasure of capturing the powerful bond between Eric and his awesome Australian Cattle Dog, Angelyne.
Their communication system is mostly visual since Angelyne is completely deaf. Eric speaks to her with hand signals and she responds quicker and more accurately than most hearing dogs.
Beyond the fun and awe inspiring tricks, these two have an obvious love and respect for each other that goes way beyond dog and trainer. They uplift and inspire everywhere they go, touring the country with appearances and demonstrations. In doing so, they bring joy and purpose into each other's lives and have a beautiful family bond that I was honored to memorialize with photography. Want to learn more? Visit their website: www.amazingangelyne.com and their Facebook page for recent posts of our photo session together.
Super Kitten Session!
When Community Cat Coalition of Colorado scheduled a kitten rescue shoot recently, I was so pleased to meet this adorable family!
Meet Tofu, Yeti, Sesame, Waffles, Viggo & Ninja (left to right), found in an old school bus. Couldn't resist getting the ultimate pet photography shot, six kittens in our traveling trunk! Had to be quick though, once they caught on to what we were up to they were off and running. Very happy with this best pick. Individual shots of this crew and others at our Rescue Gallery.
The Denver Pet Expo 2014: Helping People & Animals
Expos can be humongous events with tons of products, games and educational presentations. Pet expos are particularly fun for animal lovers and the businesses that cater to them.
The Denver Pet Expo, an annual August event (by Amazing Pet Expos) does a great job at showcasing local animal charities & rescues. Huge areas all around the Denver Merchandise Mart feature adoption opportunities and lots of information about animal care and welfare.
Sure there's plenty free stuff and deals to be had, but mostly I come away with an overwhelming presence for everyone's love of animals. There's a desire from so many to contribute to animals of all types in great need.
DelaFoto was the event photographer for the 2nd year in a row, and has been invited to come back next year. I look forward to continuing in this exciting Denver event. This year's pics are viewable at our Pet Event Gallery: Denver Pet Expo 2014. Enjoy and please share!
