My models are fired!

[Maximo]

We're putting the finishing touches on our online boutique to open this week, and I tried making pictures of the boys.

They hate the camera! The instant a camera comes out, they put on these pitiful, tortured faces. I've tried treats, toys, silly noises. Nothing works. I need to hollow out a bone and hide the camera in it.

LOL...oh my, but they both still look so gorgeous!!!!

[MidnightUnicorn]

Awwww, poor babies! They still look great.

Have you tried squeaking a squeak toy, and taking a picture with the other hand? That get's Tatiana excited and happy, and she will hold still, as she's waiting for me to toss the toy. Also, she perks up her ears.

I think the first pictures are great, but when I got to the last picture I lol! I needed that laugh though, so give them a treat for making me laugh.

I think you have two very charming and handsome models. I know it's very hard to get them to be still for piccies. They get bored with it before we ever get ready to snap the button.

Yes, I have tried the squeaky toys. My boys are so funny. I think they don't want anyone to know how spoiled they are, so they make these faces for pictures.

They are so beautiful, but I don't think they are having fun. I love the looks on their faces.

Thank you Karen. They make me laugh too! When I put the camera down and ask, "Don't you want to make nice pictures for your mommy?", then they smile and wag their tails. It's the camera they don't like.

Thank you Cathy. I think their faces are entertaining (because I know what is going on), but not good for marketing.

Have you tried using a camera stand and a remote? They just may not like having you behind the camera and not giving them your full attention.

That is a good idea! I was using a tripod, but I didn't think about a remote. I think you may be on to something.

AWWWWWWWWW They're just precious! Sophia loves the camera (literally, she likes to lick the front of the lens) So I can't always take pictures holding it. I've had luck putting it on the auto shoot setting ( I don't know what its actually called ) and on continuous mode. I usually set it to give me thirty seconds, and then it takes 10 pictures, so I have TWO hands free to distract the kiddies! Maybe you'll have better luck this way and they wont be giving you the "MOM STOP IT!" look!

Either way, ADORABLE pics

[RileyDC]

They Are GORGEOUS!!!!

Riley is the Same Way, now....
He wasn't as bad as a teeny puppy but
now as a teenager he is soooo Stubborn....

[jadabug]

[AllDogBoots]
