Colorado Dog Photography - Silverthorne, CO

Member since May 2020

With over two decades of experience, award-winning photographer Matthew Eric Lit has been capturing the unique personalities of dogs since 1996. Based in Colorado, Matthew specializes in dog photography, offering his expertise to pet parents throughout the state and the Southwest. As a dedicated dog lover and rescue advocate, he brings a compassionate touch to each session, ensuring every photograph reflects the essence of your beloved pet. Remarkably, Matthew donates a portion of his fees to a rescue or shelter of your choice, combining his passion for photography with a heartfelt commitment to animal welfare.

Matthew's impressive credentials extend beyond dog photography. He boasts a successful career as a photojournalist, commercial, and portrait photographer. His natural transition to dog photography emerged from his early work in wedding photojournalism, where clients often requested lifestyle engagement portraits with their furry friends. Matthew's artistic vision is not limited to canines; he is also skilled in equestrian and western-themed photography, offering a diverse portfolio that showcases his versatile talent.

Matt is now located in the San Luis Valley and continues serving Salida (Chaffee County); Frisco, Silverthorne, Keystone areas (Summit County), Vail, Aspen and Northern New Mexico (Taos area), making it convenient for clients to choose their preferred backdrop.
