Shelter Photo Shoot
DelaFoto was approached by an animal shelter in Fort Lupton, CO about creating portraits of their long term canine residents. As a member of the HeArts Speak network, we were happy to arrange a special visit to their facility for a photo shoot. We had been taking pictures of rescue dogs at events and our studio up to this point, so we weren't sure what to expect at the shelter.
The dogs we photographed were long term residents at Every Creature Counts, but not because they had health or behavior issues. They just weren't getting noticed. It was a simple styled shoot and the dogs were full of energy! We got some great pics and have posted them on our Facebook Page. Look for the BLUE backgrounds in our HeArts Speak Gallery and please share these images so these wonderful dogs can find homes soon!
HeArts Speak: Where Artists Help the Voiceless
For many animal artists who want to help abandoned and abused animals in need, HeArts Speak is a wonderful international resource making a difference on the local level. By connecting skilled volunteers to rescues & shelters seeking help, they're goal is to educate the public about adoption, increase adoption rates and reduce euthanizing dramatically.
DelaFoto is proud to have been accepted into this amazing network of talent. In 2013 we've already started donating professional pet portraits for a wonderful array of Colorado adoption hopefuls. From an adorable Frenchie named "Hamlet" to a whole host of magnificent hounds from "My Fairy Dawg Mother" Rescue, January was an exciting month.
Check out our latest photos and videos on DelaFoto's Facebook Page, and please help spread the word. Share images and let us know if there are animals in need that we can help!
Debut of Cover Model Contest Winner "Jack"
If you've been following our features about Jack, the Siberian Husky who won Paws & Read Magazine's cover model contest, then look for this elegant image on the Jan/Feb issue at stores near you! Comfortably nestled with his lovely mom, Jennifer in our Denver studio, you'd think Jack was a pro.
Jenn, her husband Ken and other pup Sierra all participated in the shoot as well, for a fun collection of family portraits.
Look for copies of this issue in local stores as well as online at Barnes & Noble's "Nook".

DelaFoto Shoots Doggie Couture!
Yesterday was a glamorous day for dogs at DelaFoto's Denver studio! "Barking Bitches" brought in elegant dog models dawning their last fashions: classy coats, hoodies, sporty vests and more. They are a local family owned business offering a wide range of affordable, high quality dog apparel and accessories created by retirees and seniors. Beautiful and beneficial!
Our Diva of the day was Italian Greyhound, "Ginger" who loved dressing up for her dad, Ken who just recently launched Barking Bitches online store. Shown here in the ultimate luxury, Ginger ends the day in their signature Pet Robe, for that spa look and feel. Cozy!
