Seattle Photographer Lara Grauer

  This little dude will melt your heart. His name is Sammy, and his big eyes have “puppy” written all over them.     Sammy is proud of his home, and he will go to great lengths to protect it. When I arrived the day of the photo shoot, he greeted me with gusto! Later,…

  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.…

  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…

  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…

  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…

  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…

  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.…

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 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…

  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…
