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.
Beautiful Dogs at Work
Mark recently got to spend the afternoon with Cheryl, a German Shorthaired Pointer, who was getting ready for hunting season and brushing up on her hunting skills. While we commonly photograph family pets, it is also fun for us to capture the working dogs in their element. Cheryl was the picture of bird dog perfection through all her drills and she was incredible to watch. Do you have a working breed dog who has a job (herding, hunting, agility, etc.)? If so, have you ever considered having a professional portrait done of your dog while they are "working?" If not, then please consider it as this a wonderful way to remember your dog since they were designed to work and look beautiful while doing it.

Working with Active Dogs
We hear from people all the time "oh, my dog is too active and you won't be able to get a good picture of them." This is an area where Mark really excels. He doesn't just work with the "easy" dogs - he loves working the more challenging dogs, too. People are always impressed with what Mark is able to get their dogs to do during their session. It is not uncommon to hear "the dog never does that for me!" while Mark is working with the dogs. Mark has worked with dogs his whole life and has a whole bag of tricks that are sure to get the perfect portrait of your dog, no matter their energy level. Toby the Beardie is a great example. He is a 1 year old Bearded Collie and is full of energy! Not only was Mark able to get him to sit still long enough to take the pictures, but his family ended up with lots of great choices to choose from and were very happy with what Mark created for them.
