Hi, I’m Kira DeDecker (“key-ra dee-decker”) and I’m a pet photographer serving Arizona’s greater Phoenix Metro area. Welcome to my blog! This is where I share not only my most recent work but also my life with you. Client sneak peeks, Facebook recaps, announcements, updates, awesome new offerings and the occasional (okay, frequent) story about my crazy but amazing life with my three dogs – Sox, Bixby and Waffles.
Pull up a chair and make sure it’s nice and comfy because you will want to stay awhile. It’s great to have you here!
Over on the Kira DeDecker Photography Facebook page there are always lots of sneak peeks from client sessions and photos from my own brood. Because I know not everyone is on Facebook or maybe you just missed a few things, so here is your chance to catch up! We start off of with Barron the Viszla! A Before and After from Barron’s session.
Had such a great time with this family at our session. We spent the morning hiking Boyce Thompson Arboretum, taking in the sights. Thanks again, R+C for such a wonderful day!
Annndd we have winter grass! Some people love this season for the holidays, I get excited about winter grass. Used my 10-22mm lens for this shot. It’s been sitting in my camera bad unused for 3 years because I forgot how awesome it is.
He will jump straight into your heart…literally.
The sky was actually overcast and gray but I thought with the vibrant green grass that I would love the sky to be technicolor blue instead of gray. If you were wondering why so many people love shooting RAW – this is why!
Here is what it would have looked if I didn’t blue the sky and left it overcast gray.
The best dog toys are the worn-down, slobbery ones. #doglogic
I hope that your holiday weekend was filled with feasts, friends, family and fetch. (But not all at the same time.)
Is it winter yet? Because not eveyone is a big fan of autumn…
Get in Touch!

Hey Kira! Did you blue the sky in lightroom with a brush or photoshop? I’m still trying to figure out brushes in photoshop and am okay with layers, but haven’t mastered using masks yet. Also with Baron’s shot with the sun behind him, do you use a certain type of filter on your lens to cut out the typical haze that usually comes with flare/back-lighting?

No filters, I usually have on my lens hood. If I’m getting too much flare I will cut it with my hand or move.
The B&A of the sky was done in Lighroom! It’s secret sauce 😉 But for realsies, I’m working on some LR presets/goodies and this is one of them – it’s a an adjustment brush called “Blue Skies Again” (name might change).
