Nope, not Christmas, it’s a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan. You met this little Maltese sweetie in Who’s Your Daddy with her Doberman house brother, Buc, but here she is all by herself. This is another example of using a prop, in this case cheerleader pom poms, to confine your subject. Obviously the paper can’t hold [...]
Meet Lili & Sammie, the softest, fluffiest, sweetest looking house-siblings ever. As I’ve said: you want cute? We got cute! When we shot this, Lili was only about 2 months old. She’s the little peeker around her house-brother, Sammie. Sammie was only a year old at the time, but he acted like the big brother [...]

Once we get past the obvious hilarity of the premise, “No, Paula, you chase the ball first, then put it in your [...]
Meet Bailey. He’s another sweet, sweet Maltese. We see a lot of Maltese in our studio, in fact we had Bailey’s dog mom or dad in the studio a couple of years ago. Bailey’s been in several times and it’s always a joy to see his human mom and dad. Sometimes they bring others in [...]

This allowed the United States to build the greatest army the world had ever seen and this grand army smashed the Confederates at Gettysburg just 14 months after the battle of [...]
Don’t you think? Meet Cher. Just as lovely as her her namesake. Although we love the nekked dogs in our studio we also love to stage themed portraits. Sometimes theme props provide a means to anchor or secure a bouncy subject without interfering in the shot. And so it was with Cher, the Yorkie-Maltese mix.

Meet Buc, the Doberman, and Brooke, his Maltese baby. It never ceases to amaze me that such different beings can get so close. I’m a sucker for those stories where different species foster each other. There’s an incredible one at Happy Dogs Play blog’s April 8th entry. Dogs are phenomenal creatures with some unexplained characteristics. [...]
