Lu has to be the easiest cat to photograph. To get her into any particular room all I have to do is sit down, and stretch out my legs. I swear she can "hear" when your lap is available. The moment your legs are stretched out, she comes out of nowhere and jumps on board.
So when I want her in the living room near the large window I just sit down on the floor and voila! She is in the perfect spot for some indoor pictures with lots of natural light.
Cody was not impressed with me and my camera. He did not appreciate his nap being interrupted.
I was given the evil eye on more than one occasion.
After being bribed with some treats, he was finally feeling up to a little bit of modeling.
He was even convinced to play a little.
Although that was pretty short lived. I think the glare above is his "subtle" way of telling me to back off and let him go back to sleep.
Alright Cody. You win.
George had spent time hunting this weekend and still had energy to spare.
I have a feeling he would get up and go, any time his dad asked him to.
I love tugging pictures. They are so much fun to take and I love the end results.
But I have to remember that big dogs are strong - he almost dislocated my shoulder!
What lab doesn't love water? It was pretty chilly though so we didn't end up hanging out there too long as soon the pups were shaking.
I'm learning that no matter what the weather, I always have such a good time out on these photo sessions. Thanks everyone for making them so enjoyable and for having such great dogs to photograph!
Daisy Duke is quite small for a border collie but she has a lot of energy, focus and determination crammed in that tiny package. As with all border collies, she has a job to do. In her case, that job is to retrieve toys until your arm is exhausted from throwing. Or until, you hide the toy.
I am completely in love with Daisy Duke. If all border collies were as fun and friendly as her, I think I'd have 20.
I'd have to be single too as there is no way my husband would let me have that many dogs. Good thing, Daisy is one of a kind! ;)
Could you resist?
It was raining this morning. Not a good thing when you have a photo session that afternoon. But we decided to go ahead. And for the most part, (if you ignore the brief stint of frozen rain) we actually had decent weather
Daisy Duke (the border collie) was her usual toy obsessed self which made for easy portrait pictures, and George (the lab) was a busy boy who occasionally lifted his head for a photo. :) I had a lot fun and as you can tell, Daisy and George seemed to have as well.
More photos to come in the next few days!
