Denver Dog Photographer… Meet Shep…

admin — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 17:46:32 +0000

Shep the wonder dog… the Malamute puppy, indiscriminate eater, crazy fast, chew on everything… wonder pup! I’m always touched when other photographers choose me to photograph for them. And Chris & Katie, well they are stunningly talented. Such a treat to photograph for them. And boy do they have their hands full with this adorable little guy…

Mille bisous!

Denver Dog Photographer… Mattie & Madeleine

admin — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:37:09 +0000

Fur! I love fur. There’s nothing better on a cold day than warm fur and a wet nose. Mattie (dear, sweet, old Mattie), and Madeleine (crazy, little Madeleine) are the best of buddies…

Mille bisous!

I never do this… but come on and vote!

admin — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:43:08 +0000

Truly, I never do this. But when this contest came up I had an idea playing off of two classic photos for artistic inspiration. (One of which was this shot of Jim Henson and the Muppets.) I loooove the dog photography side of my business. Dogs are where I started more than ten years ago and now I also teach in Denver and my work is included in a Design Aglow Inspire Guide for dog photography. I pinch myself every day that this is where my journey has brought me and I am so incredibly grateful to and blessed by the gentle souls who have encouraged me along the way.

Sooo, when Miller’s announced their search for the next ‘We Are Miller’s’ ad I thought why not the dogs? Why not try to get a bunch in the studio and play? Of course, I totally underestimated how hard it is for me to be in front of the camera! My amazing friend Julie Harris came in to do the shoot and after an hour of mild chaos and a lot of laughs we got the shot for our entry. Thank you soooooo much to everyone who brought their little furballs in for the fun!

The photo we entered is below. And here’s the link to the contest. (You can vote every day this week! And the voting closes Friday September 4th.) Please do take a look and vote. Thanks!

We need dog models! 8.24.09 6pm

admin — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:19:17 +0000

Yep. Paige has another wild idea… We’re putting together a pitch for a national advertising campaign and we need dogs! Lots and lots of dogs! Here are the details…

Monday: August 24th 6pm

The Studio: 4301 Tennyson Street

Lots of Dogs: We need happy, well adjusted dogs of all shapes and sizes. They’ll be sitting very closely together so your dog must be comfortable with other dogs. All shapes and sizes are welcome! The goofier the better…

And Goodies: Everyone who participates will receive a copy of the finished print and a $75 gift certificate for a portrait session with Paige this fall.

Ready to join us? Send Paige a message through the contact form to reserve your spot in the shoot!

And a little eye candy. Meet Ruby…

Pinch me! Design Aglow Dog Inspire Guide

admin — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 14:20:29 +0000

I’m just tickled. OK, maybe I’m whatever it is that’s beyond tickled. Snoopy dances. Huge, crazy Snoopy dances all over the house! Emma’s joining in but the cat clearly just thinks I’m weird…

The fantastic team at Design Aglow just released a new dog inspire guide… that features some of my dog photography! The inspire guides are set of little cards that you can study or bring with you on shoots to give you fantastic ideas for what to do with your subjects. The coolest part is that they are delivered to you digitally so you can have your lab print a set and you’re ready to go. (No waiting to have a product shipped to you.)

Here’s the cool part… I’m in there with some seriously amazing photographers! Amanda Jones, Erin Vey, Ann Hamilton, Jaime at Cowbelly… These folks are incredible! And I am just over the moon to be in the same inspire guide with them. Pinch me!!!

(And I’ll have a hard copy of the guide with me at the dog photography workshop tomorrow if you’d like to see the whole. We have two spots open in the class. Call Working With Artists right away if you’d like to join us!)

Linus and Lucy… unleashed (Denver Dog Photography)

admin — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 15:35:18 +0000

So it wasn’t actually Denver. We shot these in Galveston. (Soooo much of my summer in Texas heat!) Jessi & Mike came down to Galveston a few weeks ago for their engagement shoot and we had a blast! So I was soooo excited for them to bring Linus and Lucy down for a visit too. Both Linus and Lucy are rescues, which I always love. Lucy, the beautiful little brindle dachshund, is a hurricane Katrina survivor. Linus, her long haired brother, is always on the lookout for trouble. And they are both sooooo precious!

Conner & Kylie are just my favorites! (Denver Kid Photography)

admin — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:23:29 +0000

Popsicles and scooters and puppy dogs… oh my! And OH MY did we ever have fun! Ken’s darling family won their shoot in the auction at Allen’s fundraiser. Not only was it all for a worthy cause but I even got to spend the afternoon giggling and getting lost in Conner and Kylie’s huuuuuuuge blue eyes…

- Push vs. Pull: motivating a four-legged model
- Other Subjects: horses, cats, rats… the implications of other creatures
- Live Shoot Using Available Light

Dog Photography Mini-workshop at Working With Artists 6.20.09

admin — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 18:54:56 +0000

Ooooooh so excited about this. Dogs are my heart. I love everything about their furry, slobbery goodness and capturing it on film. What’s even better is the opportunity to share that love…

The wonderful folks at Working With Artists have invited me to teach dog photography for them this summer and it’s going to be sooooooooo much fun! You can find info on their site about the Half Stop workshop this weekend. I’ll be teaching a one hour teaser at 11am and then the full class will be August 8th.

Be sure to contact WWA if you’re planning to come Saturday. (Leave a comment or drop me an email to let me know too!) Attendance at the Half Stop is limited to members, but it’s very inexpensive to join and a great organization. The full August class is open to everyone. Hope to see y’all there!

And a few quick images form Galveston over the weekend…
