Category / Dog Photography / Behind The Reflector
Dog photography is one of our specialties here at Lara Grauer Photography. Photographing dogs is fun because they tend to be a little easier to photograph than other pets (I’m looking at you, cats…). When we photograph dogs, our priority is to get your dog as comfortable with us as possible. This means photographing your dog in their everyday surroundings and getting to know your dog. As natural dog people, this comes pretty easy for us, even with great big shelter dogs that have had a hard time finding homes.
Lara Grauer Photography has been photographing dogs in and around the Seattle area since 2008. We’ve photographed many sweet pet dogs along with dogs that have recently been adopted. We also photograph foster and rescue dogs to give them a better shot at finding permanent, happy homes.

Dogs and Beer: Creative Dog Photography
Art and I created some awesome pet portraits at BarkHappy Seattle’s dog event last weekend. This gathering was just before Easter, so it was aptly named the “BarkHappy Seattle Easter Begg Party.” When it first went on the calendar, we thought about doing photos with tulips, bunny ears, and pastel colors. Cliche? Yes. It’s also…

Photos From Mud Bay
Art and I had loads of fun photographing the dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters that came in for Mud Bay’s Grand Opening Event in Shoreline! I’m here to share them with you now, so you can get your dose of cuteness for the day. What’s Mud Bay all about? Since 1988, Mud Bay has…

Calendar Session – Meet Callie!
Callie. Look at those eyes. Look at that beautiful coat, and those sweet, pointed – yet floppy – ears. She is a gorgeous dog. From time to time you can convince her to play. She’ll chase a stick a few times, but she probably won’t bring it back to you. She’ll…

Calendar Session – Meet Augie
Meet Augie. Here he is, near the entrance to his home, ready to greet you. Augie is a mutt, if I ever saw one! After running a DNA screening, his owners found out the specifics of his cute-dog mix: dachshund, schnauzer, shitzu, and dalmatian! Augie is a very proud and determined dog.…
