Golden retriever photography in St. Louis draws a lot of interest. Honestly, pet photography wouldn’t be where it is today without goldens, in my humble opinion. They are the perfect mix of friendly, sneaky and mischievous.
They were born to be in front of a camera.
Many of the beautiful golden retriever photos below come from a variety of parks in St. Louis and our new location in Northwest Arkansas.
The photogenic charms of golden retriever photography in St. Louis
We love, love, love photographing goldens (it probably doesn’t hurt that we have had six over the years).
The golden retriever’s dense, lustrous coat–whether light golden, deep red or white–provides a stunning contrast against various outdoor backdrops. Our favorite spot to photograph goldens is in the woods or parks. Their breeding as a hunting dog really provides many photographic opportunities in a forest-like setting. We have also had great luck with them retrieving balls and toys… no surprise there.
The other approach we like is with close-ups. Aren’t these dogs just downright beautiful? Their expressive face, characterized by serious eyes and a joyous smile, makes them incredibly photogenic. You won’t see any unhappy goldens in the shots below.
Capturing the essence of this beautiful dog involves understanding its playful and loyal nature. This leads to many opportunities for both staged portraits and spontaneous, candid moments.

AKC experts gush about a golden retriever
Here is what the American Kennel Club says about our precious goldens:
“The golden retriever, an exuberant Scottish gun dog of great beauty, stands among America’s most popular dog breeds. They are serious workers at hunting and field work, as therapy dogs, guides for the blind and in search-and-rescue. They enjoy obedience and other competitive events, and have an endearing love of life when not at work.”
