You just have to be patient. And really, in some cases you don’t even have to be too patient. Surprise is a tactic. Meet Dixie and Darlin’. Could they have been any cuter? Again – we just get the cutest folks in our studio…it almost doesn’t seem fair to the rest of you, huh [...]
We are hurt, but we’re bold and powerful as well. Yes, we still cry, but we laugh too. Just like the sweet and personable Bella, pictured here. Yesterday was the 4th anniversary of the landfall of the devastating Hurricane Katrina. For days we have been worrying and thinking about where we were, and have been [...]
Did these people bring it or what! Tango decided he wasn’t going to look at me with his ears up, but who cares, huh? This is better. He looks so comfortable posing with his mom. By the way notice the tattoo on her upper left thigh. Those are her three Greyhounds. Make it larger and [...]
This is a new scenic at Sisters Pet Pics. Shiloh and her house sister, Bella, were the first to be photographed on it. If you’re not sure if it’s real or not, ask the dogs. Bella kept walking up to the shuttered door to be let in the house! Shiloh, on the other hand, took [...]
Can’t we all just get along? Come on, that’s funny …
These two darlings just couldn’t have shown more contrast. One so very white I worried about blowing out her coat and one so dark I worried about lighting her coat. This is what to try. Put your dark coated subject on the key light side, [...]
So, you think pet photography means the soft cuddly kind of subjects; well, I regard all the creatures around me as charges. I’m sworn to protect them…therefore, to me they’re pets, especially when they’re in my yard. It’s not much of a leap for me to think of them as pets then.
We returned this evening [...]
Today the topic is photographing eyes. If you are trying to get a nice photograph of a shaggy-around-the-eyes dog, you want to make some preparation. Unless my subject is an Old English Sheepdog, whose eyes are supposed to be hidden, I try to make a point of having the human companion do a trim around [...]
You met Nikki as a good citizen in the Good Citizenship post. She’s a tiny sweet Pomeranian who is kept clipped short most of the year. I’ve mentioned this before, but to me Poms seem to have a built-in halo around their heads. I know Nikki does.
On Saturday I was motivated to find a football [...]
Of all the things you need to be thinking about when shooting pets, posing them is probably the number one challenge. They’re pets, after all. None of them come in with Lassie-type skills. I sometimes ask the human companion if the dog(s) know any commands. I always laugh when I ask this of Greyhounds’ humans. [...]
Okay, so kill me…I’m a Saints fan. There, I said it. I can’t deny that my TV screen has some smudges on it from the pillows I’ve thrown at it in seasons past; nevertheless, I’m a fan. It’s still pre-season, but maybe this is our year. In any case, this little family is hoping for [...]
