Garden of the Gods Pet Photography | Mallory & Her Two Pups in Colorado Springs

There’s a special kind of magic when it’s just you and your pups in a place as iconic as Garden of the Gods. Mallory brought her two adorable dogs (rocking matching bandanas!) for a playful afternoon, and my goal was simple—keep it real, keep it relaxed, and let their bond shine.

Garden of the Gods pet photography that feels like you

We kept things easy: a stroll along rustic fences, quick breaks for treats, and lots of snuggles. The golden light and red rock backdrop did the rest. This is why I love Garden of the Gods pet photography—there’s room for personality, movement, and those spontaneous “that’s SO them” moments that become forever favorites.

As we moved through the park, Mallory’s pups settled into the rhythm—curious sniffing, perked ears, big smiles. I leaned into candid frames and honest portraits so she’d have a gallery that feels warm and timeless, not stiff or staged.

From pups…to proposals (Mallory’s story continues)

A few months after this session, I had the honor of photographing Mallory and Matt’s engagement downtown—one of my favorite overlaps of pets, people, and love stories. If you want to see how her story evolved, take a peek at their Downtown Manitou Springs engagement session.
