How do people get those cute sleeping pics of their yorkies???

ZoE just hauled her pink Carter's dog up on the couch with her and fell asleep with her paw wrapped around the stuffed dog. It was the cutest thing!!! So, I tried to capture it and as soon as I turned on my camera her ears perked up and when I moved to take the pic, she was up & off the couch quicker than I could press the button on my camera!

Now, I'm sitting next to the couch with the camera on waiting for another photo op

Tibbe does the same thing- hears the camera noise 99% of the time.

I do not know how they do it. Louie does the same thing

I can never really get outstanding pics of him, he is always on the move

and when I do, trust me it's alot of work.

yorkietalkjilly · 05-21-2011, 08:26 PM

I've tried many, many times sneaking a picture of Tibbe but the minute I move, let alone turn on the camera, he's stopped what he was doing and looking at me and the camera. He's got amazing hearing!

I try to sneak away to another room to shut the door before turning the camera on...then go back & hope she's as I left her.

It's quiet, but she hears it of course.

Sometimes I just wait for her to lay her head back down & snap one, though it's not the real deal!

When I first got Callie we took pictures all the time of her and still take a good amount and i think she just got used having her picture taken and I also keep my camera right on top of the thing in our living room that holds the tv. Sometimes she will peak at me and see its just the camera and go back to sleep lol

We use treats to lure them...well, we have to use ball for Emma.

Also, laziness help too! Carmel likes to be lazy so more op to take pix

My waiting finally paid off

. I got one sleeping pic before her eyes were open, then she was off the couch in a flash!

jadabug · 05-22-2011, 03:54 AM

That pic was worth the wait. How sweet

deonk1 · 05-22-2011, 04:03 AM

That's adorable.

Harley is the same I usually can only get one pose of picture with him, sitting staring at the treats in my hand. lol

in the moments are hard for me too.

kdhawks · 05-22-2011, 04:23 AM

Aww, that picture is adorable! Can you turn the shutter noises off on your camera so they don't wake her? Then you could take all the sleeping pictures you want.

Ahahah! She look so precious in the 1st pic and that second pic is priceless it's almost like shes saying..BUSTED! There is a feature on my camera to turn sounds off which helps a lot. My camera is always out of reach though and 99.9% of the time if I get up to get it shes gonna follow me.

gidget529 · 05-23-2011, 05:50 AM

Great pic! She is adorable w her teddy! I had to laugh reading your post. I am so in awe of the pics ppl get here. Gidget is always uncooperate everytime she sees me w the camera!

Sammy Mommy · 05-23-2011, 07:48 AM

Absolutely worth the wait!!! What adorable pictures!!

Princess10 · 05-23-2011, 10:28 AM

She really is sooo cute! I love sleeping pups!
The second picture is so funny, the way she's looking at you, like "excuse me? and what do you think you're doing?" lol.
