National Train Your Dog Month
January is National Train Your Dog Month! While Mark is happy to photograph dogs of all obedience levels, having a well behaved dog can make a huge difference for the day-to-day life with your family. We've had the privilege of working with several dog trainers in the Denver area over the past 9 years. We have a dog with some behavioral issues and have tried out multiple trainers to find the right fit for both us and his issues. We stumbled upon Matt Clark and he was incredible. He understood the issues we were facing and gave us an action plan and the confidence to work through our problems with our little guy.
Fast forward a few years and we added a rescue dog to our family to be a companion to our dog with issues. We were doing more off-leash hiking and wanted to get our dogs e-collar trained. We found Kris Mavis and this is one area she specializes in. We were actually surprised at how quickly we were able to e-collar train our dogs with Kris's input and training. She offers all levels of dog training from puppy obedience all the way up through more advanced skills.
Mark had the privilege of photographing Kris's two amazing dogs and they were some of the easiest dogs he's ever worked with!
5th Annual MaxFund Fundraiser
Have you wanted to get your family pictures updated or get a professional portrait of your dog? Would you like to get a picture of your animal or family taken for a good cause? Well great news! This June 12-14, capture your furry family in a work of art and help homeless animals in need!
Sessions are $75, 150 and $200 and 100% of your session fee goes directly to Maxfund! Dogs, cats and kids are all welcome. Reservations are required. Call 303-562-5536 to reserve your spot or for more information.
Dogs are Family, too!
Families come in all shapes and sizes! While we photograph a lot of families with their children, we also have a lot of clients who have fur kids instead of or in addition to human kids. This family just added a new little brother to their family and came in for a new family portrait of their dog kids. We think the puppy is extra cute, but what a fun looking bunch this is!
If you have a special four legged family member, be sure to consider bringing them in for a professional pet photography session with Mark. He works with all ages, dog breeds and obedience levels and will capture something truly special just for you.
Harley's Photo Shoot
We had a very special visitor in the studio today. Harley, spokes dog for the National Mill Dog Rescue, was back for another photo shoot with us. We're working on a special project with him to help raise more money for NMDR and we'll be revealing the photos from his shoot soon, so stay tuned for more information! Hint: you'll want this for the holidays this year!
Meet the Modern Dog Magazine Fall Cover Dog
We were thrilled to be contacted by the folks at Modern Dog Magazine recently to photograph their fall cover dog, Harley. Harley began his life at a puppy mill and lived a fairly terrible life until being rescued. Harley is now a spokesdog against puppy mills and works with National Mill Dog Rescue, an amazing group who is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing puppy mill dogs. Harley was a great little model at his photo shoot! Book a photography session for your dog with Mark by 9/30/14 and mention Harley and we'll donate your session fee to the National Mill Dog Rescue.
Harley, spokesdog for the National Mill Dog Rescue, is the Fall cover dog for Modern Dog Magazine.
Happy National Dog Day!
Today is National Dog Day! Your dog won't understand the holiday, but it's a good reminder to be thankful for our favorite furry companions that we can sometimes take for granted.
Photo Fundraiser for the Doberman Rescue of New Mexico
June 21-22, we're opening our Denver studio to anyone who would like to support the Doberman Rescue of New Mexico by participating in our photo fundraiser. Two photo session options are available:
$75 Lite Sessions are for families who would like a portrait done of a single dog. These sessions are typically 20-30 min. There are limited Lite sessions available.
$200 Art Lover Sessions are for families who would like to create fine art for their home. This photography session can be used for multiple dogs, dogs with kids, whole families, or children only and typically lasts around an hour. During your session, we focus on creating a variety of options to become fine art pieces for your walls of your home. This session includes a $75 credit toward any wall art (wall art comes in many formats and is 20"x20" or larger).
100% of all photography sessions will be donated to DRNM. This is a great way to raise some money for the rescue, while creating a custom piece of art for your home.
All dog breeds are welcome to participate - this event is not limited to Dobermans. Contact us today to reserve spot!
French Bulldog Puppy Portraits
Many of our clients want to bring in the newest addition to their families just as soon as they get them for puppy portraits. This little guy is barely 8 weeks old and his first outing with his new family was to come to our studio. His big sister, also a french bulldog, came along for some doggie sibling pictures. If you're planning to get a new furry family member, consider planning your pet photography around the time you bring the new puppy home. It's fun to capture them as puppies and then again, once they've grown up a little.
Elegant Pet Photography
Taking elegant portraits of your pets is one of our favorite things to do! We love to capture the unique personality of each dog and give you a piece of art that you always wanted, but never thought possible. We work with single dogs or families who have multiple dogs. We want to showcase what you love about your pet in our photography. Contact us to schedule your custom pet session today.
The MaxFund Photo Fundraiser was a Success!
Thank you to all who participated this last weekend in our MaxFund Photo Fundraiser! The event was fully booked and we had a great time raising money for the dogs and cats at the shelter. If you work with a local non-profit and would like more information on holding a similar fundraiser for your organization, please contact us to see if you are a good fit for our fundraising program. We love working with groups that benefit kids and dogs.
