Behind the Scenes
Lest you think that I torture my dogs into posing for my ridiculous holiday-themed photo shoots, here’s an outtake to prove that I use treats to coax their participation:
Zeke is all shiny eyes and happy attitude when he’s about to get “paid”, but seconds later he descends into his “I‘m too sexy for these ears” funk:
Sumner has turned out to be quite the poser during these sessions, which surprises me because he always shies away from the camera when I’m snapping candids. He just seems to “get it” when the backdrop comes out … he holds poses like a pro:
Of course, the treats help. Here he is, post-snack:
On this day Zeke saw me setting up the backdrop and immediately walked to the middle of it and sat down, as if ready for his close-up. I think he kinda digs the process, and those grumpy faces he makes are just a show.
