Ever wondered, but what can I photograph my dog doing in the studio doing?

 In this blog, I wanted to tell you (and show you!) my six must have shots for unfailingly beautiful dog portraits in the studio!

1.The Full BOdy Shot

The full body shot is a must! We want to capture every single part of your beautiful dog!

2.The Head Shot

The classic headshot of your furry friend is always my go to image in the studio!


3.The TReat Catch!

Treat catches in the studio are so much fun! I always try to get these shots in one of my portable studio dog photography sessions!


These treat catching photos will be sure to leave you laughing, and bring a smile to your face every time you see it! I love doing these shots, and the dogs love it too!

4.The Trick!

Does your dog know any tricks? If so, this is the perfect shot to show them off!

 

5.The Lick Shot!

I’m planning to do a “behind the scenes in the studio” blog soon where I will show you the work involved to get this type of shot, but this is something I love to try and get in a dog studio photography session! It’s a bit different, and involves a lot of peanut butter!

 

6.The Black and white Portrait

The classic black and white shot is always a must for me in every session. It has a bit more of a dramatic effect, and it’s a great one to have framed on your wall!
