LAS VEGAS DOG PHOTOGRAPHY

Vegas may be known for gambling and nightlife, but once you leave the bright lights of the city you’ll find spectacular natural wonders in the rugged Nevada landscape.

Nicole Hrustyk joined pet photographers around the world celebrating their local dogs and raising funds for pets in need with the Tails of the World project. She raised $1000 for Pawtastic Friends in 2022, holding sessions at various stunning locations outside of Las Vegas.

Jesse, Potato and Gunner won the hearts of nearby students as the modelled on campus at the University of Las Vegas. Percy and Sriracha explored the wilderness of Mount Charleston and in Nevada’s Mojave Dessert, Bodhi and Koda were photographed in Red Rock Canyon.

Sweet old Lowretta trotted around the Aliante Nature Discovery Park, adventurous Aurora climbed the rocks at Floyd Lamb Park in Tule Springs and finally Fox watched the sun set beyond the horizon at Lake Mead.

Sriracha Mount Charleston

Sriracha is a spunky red merle Australian Shepherd who is a natural in front of the camera. Her beautiful markings were ideal for this Mt. Charleston location.
