There’s something truly special about capturing love when it includes our four-legged family members. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Sara and Jonathan’s couple and pet photography session in Colorado Springs, set against the incredible red rocks of Garden of the Gods.
The combination of love, laughter, and wagging tails made for an unforgettable day — full of warmth, connection, and those small, candid moments that make photos timeless.
A Heartfelt Session Among the Red Rocks
Garden of the Gods is one of Colorado Springs’ most iconic backdrops, and it couldn’t have been a better fit for this session. With sweeping sandstone formations, golden light, and endless open trails, it’s the perfect place to celebrate the bond between couples and their pets.
As we explored the park, Sara and Jonathan’s joy was contagious. Their dogs joined every shot with big personalities and happy energy. Every photo told a story of love and togetherness — proof that when you include your pets, your session becomes even more personal and full of life.

Why Bring Pets to Your Photo Session
Including pets in your photos adds an extra layer of authenticity and heart. Whether it’s a playful pup, a calm companion, or even multiple pets, their energy always brings a natural sense of joy.
As a Colorado Springs couple photographer, I always encourage my clients to bring their animals along. Not only do pets make the experience more relaxed and fun, but they also help capture real, unposed emotion — the kind of moments that truly reflect your story.

The Joy of Unscripted Moments
Working with Sara and Jonathan (and their dogs!) reminded me why I love what I do — photographing connection in its most genuine form. The laughter, the spontaneous kisses, the way their dogs leaned in for attention — every frame told a story that felt completely authentic.
These moments are what make couple and pet photography in Colorado Springs so meaningful. It’s not about posing perfectly; it’s about capturing the little details that show your real bond.

Making Memories That Last
At the end of their session, Sara and Jonathan laughed as their dogs stole the spotlight one last time — tails wagging, tongues out, and pure happiness everywhere.
Those are the kinds of memories I love to preserve: moments that reflect love, family, and the beautiful chaos that comes with pets.
