A Dog’s Life :: LUMENopia Photography

There are moments when all humans in the house are done getting their picture taken, but I still have all my gear set up and I DON’T want to put it away yet!  Ahh yes… the family dog!  A photographer’s best friend.

Our dog is a sweet golden doodle named Henry.  He is smart, well behaved, gentle and best of all a “willing” model in front of the camera.  He’s a pretty sensitive fella, so at first I wasn’t sure the bright flashes wouldn’t send him out the door in a dazed and confused state.  To my delight he could have cared less and seemed to be focused instead on whatever treat awaited him for his amateur modeling efforts.

After a few minutes (and some model/pose coaching) I wrapped up the shoot.  The bone in this photo and a few others were immediately eaten as a thank you to our family’s best four legged friend.
