<\/a><\/div>\n

I can’t begin to tell you how much I have been loving creating unique pet portraits with the dogs I’ve had in the studio lately. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner. Its got everything I want in a portrait session. I get to be creative, use my favourite props, and spend time with adorable animals, this time with one of the smallest dogs I’ve ever seen. She is just so sweet.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The shot above came about when my client suggested getting the puppy to peer over the side of a box which I thought was a fantastic idea and it worked exactly as we had hoped. <\/span>Because she was so small my usual newborn props worked brilliantly with her and suited just how baby like she is.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I just love how this sweet little puppy always looks like she is smiling, unlike so many animals that look either perpetually sad or miserable. She looks like a happy and inquisitive little darling you just can’t help but smile back at.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
These scales are fairly accurate and its reading that she currently weighs just 4 and a half pounds. Such a tiny little thing. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

And course by the end the poor little girl couldn’t keep her eyes open. She had worked hard and provided me with so much good material so at some point we just had to let her sleep.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

One of the perks of this job is I got to sit back and relax with a good long cuddle with baby Minnie in my lap once we’d finished. She is just so awesome I find myself wanting one, not that my husband will ever let me get one. After our cats I’ve had a firm ‘no more animals’ rule imposed. For the most part I’m with him on that. But its times like these that I could be easily persuaded to change my mind.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

These last two puppy shoots really have me thinking that this is an important time in their lives to capture. Puppies are puppies for such a short time so why not create some beautiful portraits so the memory will last a lifetime. And as you can probably imagine, some of these would make great wall portraits.<\/p>\n

I’ll be announcing a portrait promotion shortly so if you’d like to be informed of this please Like my Facebook page at www.facebook.com\/christinalauderportraits.
