Bright Eyes Photos
Skip to Main Content
Bright Eyes offers three unique photo session Collections at a location selected by you where your pet is in familiar surroundings and comfortable. Pets and Their People is the focus so you can have a variety of photos that include portraits of your pets alone and with the family!
Think of me as your photojournalist dog-umenting your dog running, chasing, rolling over, or just sitting or lying still at a park, backyard, front yard, or indoors on a favorite rug or couch…or your cat posing, grooming, or rubbing the couch! Think of what will make you smile about your pet’s candid activities and antics!!

“Julie is a talented photographer who uses her special bond with dogs to create incomparable images. Every picture she took of my senior golden perfectly captured his personality, quirks, and playfulness. Julie traveled to Denver for our photo shoot and used multiple outdoor locations to take what seemed like hundreds of photos. Shortly thereafter, she provided me with online access to the digital photos so I could view same and narrow down my selections. Narrowing down my selections was the hardest part of the whole process — all of the pictures were fantastic and considerably better than the photos taken on my iPhone. I recommend Julie without hesitation. In addition to being a talented photographer, she is a wonderful woman with a heart of gold for both people and animals. Thanks again Julie!”
