Category / Dog Photography

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.

    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.…

    Calendar Session – Max

      This is Max; short for Maxwell Marshawn. She’s a sweet young girl, named for two awesome Seahawks players (one of whom has since moved on to another team). She’s a true Seattle pooch!     I had the pleasure of hanging out with Max at Volunteer park. She is an energetic young thing, poised…

    Calendar Session – Tooey Rocks the Modeling Job

      Since I work with regular people and their regular pets, it’s not often that I meet a dog like Tooey. This amazing boy is incredibly well behaved, and has a fantastic glow of confidence to match his fantastic story.     When Tooey’s family started their search for a dog, they were looking for…

    Calendar Session – Pictures of Poppy

      Poppy. She’s a cute little pug-chihuahua mix, who loves to be a lap dog. Her personality is calm, quiet, and cooperative. That is, until she spies a dog on a leash. When that happens, all bets are off! She barks and barks, as if her volume might knock the leash off and set the…

    Calendar Session – Photos of Dabby

      Dabby is a sweetheart, and wears his heart on his sleeve. When I first met him, he tucked his tail between his legs and began to tremble. With a little reassurance from his owners, and some gentle interaction with me, he started to come around. So what did I do? I asked to clear out…

    Calendar Session – Photos of Oliver

      What a cool dog. Oliver’s unlucky streak kicked in during puppyhood, when he was tiny. He found his way to Dog Rescue Around Washington and was placed in their foster system. He didn’t last there very long – he went home with his permanent family at 10 weeks old.     Oliver’s labrador traits are obvious.…

    Calendar Session – Photos of Sherman

    Look at little Sherman! He and his family got up really early came all the way from Bremerton to see me for photos one Saturday morning! Now, that’s commitment!     This little guy had never to this beach before our photo shoot in lovely Edmonds, Washington. The ferry dock makes a beautiful background. I…

    Calendar Session – Photos of Decker

      Calendar sessions are really underway! This time around, I got to hang out with Decker, or Little Bear, as they also like to call him. Decker is a gorgeous dog of mysterious origin. At the time he was adopted, the shelter folks figured Decker was a mix of labrador and Leonberger. He’s a good…

    Calendar Session – Photos of Wilson

      Wilson. What a perfect name! His owners play tennis, and he likes to hang out by the court to watch. He chases the tennis balls, but never catches them because they’re too big to fit in his mouth!     I met Wilson’s owner for pictures at a tennis court in Shoreline. We hung out…

    Calendar Session – Photos of Rocket and Andi

      Rocket (left) and Andi (right) had fun pretending to be bride and groom. This year’s dog calendar will feature Seattle area canines who have shelter living in their past. These two pups are Rocket and Andi. I had a great time getting to know this pair. They are some high-energy dogs! They live with…
