I know I have said this a million times, but work shouldn’t be this fun! What I week I have had meeting the most adorable dogs with fantastic energy. Today I had the pleasure of photographing two toy poodles named Jasper and Peaches! They were absolutely adorable, they were balls of energy AND Peaches was only 12 weeks! SOOOO CUTE!!!! 😀 Peaches even walked all over me when I was trying to photograph Jasper, literally, I’m in love!
When handling a new puppy, I have to be extra careful. There first experiences to new things in the world can set them up to be a well socialized dog. Peaches was hearing new noises such as strangers, other dogs and of course me and my camera. Being experienced in handling dogs, I was patient and associated my lens and camera to Peaches as something fun by giving her affection and treats at the right time. By the end of the photo shoot, she was all up on my camera, on my back and even on top of my head when I was laying down photographing Jasper. I would love to say its all about just taking photos of a dog and its not. Patience, experience and positive reinforcement is super key, hence why my clients enjoy working with me because of my reputation and experience. Plus I just LOVE these guys!!!!
Enjoy a sneak peek of Jasper and Peaches! 🙂
