I took professional photos of my first Yorkie with 3 of her pups! The photographer had a draped background and I put my legs under the drape and sat on the floor. Then I could hold Molly, the mother until the photographer was ready and then I would let go and lean back so I was out of the shot. For the puppies, we had them in a little wagon and I sprinkled cheerios in the bottom of the wagon and then we would make high pitched noises or used a squeaky toy and they all would look up and then we would take the photo. You could also find a word that your dog responds to, that is a way to make their ears go up. I would say the words "treat", "chicken" or "outside" and my yorkie's ears would go up and she would cock her head to the side. Alot of experienced photographers will have other tricks of the trade! |
