What if my dog doesn't cooperate?

Tell me what your dog enjoys and what makes them uncomfortable. Sessions are designed around personality, energy and comfort, rather than expecting every pet to behave the same way. We'll discuss the right approach before making plans.

Can you photograph a senior dog?

Yes. A senior's familiar expression can make a beautiful portrait. Let me know about mobility, comfort and handling needs so we can choose a suitable setting and approach together.

How should I prepare?

Start by sharing the details that help me understand your pet. Include any reactivity, handling concerns and the kind of images you love. We'll talk through location and preparation as part of planning your session.

When will I receive my photos?

We'll discuss image delivery when we plan your session. If you're hoping to use the photos for a gift or a particular date, mention that in your first message.

Photos That Bring You Right Back To Your Favorite Moments

The ears flying mid-run. The head tilt that gets you every time. The way your best friend looks at you when the rest of the world disappears.

I'm Betsy Mercer, your pet photographer in Parker, Colorado. I create playful portraits and action photos for families across the Denver metro area, with a session shaped around the pet you know and love.

Dog Photography With Room For Personality

Your dog brings the expressions, the energy and the occasional wonderfully goofy moment. I pay attention to the light, timing and little details that turn those moments into photographs you'll want to keep close.

01.

Action photos full of life

I specialize in action photography: the run, the leap, the splash and the joy of being a dog. If your pup loves to move, we'll talk about a setting that gives that personality room to come through.

02.

Pet portraits with heart

A quieter companion has a story worth capturing, too. Natural-light portraits make space for a familiar expression, a soft look or a moment of connection. Tell me if you love black-and-white images so we can discuss that look.

03.

You belong in the picture

You're part of your pet's world. You're welcome to join the session for photos that celebrate the bond you share, alongside images of your pet on their own.

Your Pet Photography Session At A Glance

$250 for a standalone session. We'll discuss any additional travel before confirming a location beyond the Denver metro area

15 to 20 high-resolution digital photos. Meaningful images to enjoy and display in your home.

Up to three pets for a standard session. Tell me who's joining and what each pet is like.

A location chosen together. Your pet's comfort and the style you love guide the plan.

Action, portraits or a mix. We'll talk through your preferences before the shoot.

Choose A Setting That Feels Right For Your Pet

An outdoor location should do more than look beautiful. It should suit the dog in front of my lens. An energetic explorer and a senior who enjoys a gentle stroll may feel at home in very different settings.

I photograph pets in Parker and the Denver area. We'll discuss your pet's needs, the season and the look you have in mind, then choose a backdrop together. Start with my photography location guide if you're still deciding.

A Photographer Who Understands Everyday Dog Life

I also care for dogs through Three Pet Paws, so personality and comfort are always part of the conversation. Share the things that help your pet feel secure, what excites them and anything I should know about handling.

This business began with pets who meant the world to me. You can meet me and the dogs behind Three Pet Paws to learn why both the experience and the memories matter so much.

Dog Photos That Make The Action Come Alive

"She has such a sense of timing and lighting that makes the 'action' come alive in a still frame."

— Lance, whose nine-year-old Shiba Inu I photographed

From A First Message To A Session Made For You

01. Tell me about your companion

Send your pet's breed, age, energy level and preferred dates. Let me know whether you're picturing action shots, portraits or photos together.

02. We'll plan the details

We'll discuss the location, timing, your pet's comfort and what to expect from your digital images. I personally review each request before confirming your booking.

03. Come ready to enjoy your pet

The goal is a relaxed experience with room for real personality. You don't need to arrive with every detail figured out; we'll talk through the plan together.

Add Professional Photos To A Boarding Stay

Your dog's time away can be a chance to create something you'll treasure. A professional photography session during dog boarding at my Parker home is $150 and can include your boarding dogs together.

This is a separate session from the everyday photo updates I share during care. Ask about adding it when you inquire about a stay.
