Today’s blog is all about dogs. Now I know dogs aren’t Everyone’s cup of tea, but if you have had one, do have one or just like dogs.. you’ll know that they make the best pets. They are loyal, affectionate and fantastic companions. My dog is a yellow lab, he is 12 this year and is most certainly classed as part of my family. I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old, and it hasn’t always been fun and games but with plenty time, patience and training he settled in quickly and does exactly as he is told. Approaching 12 he has some cheeky senior moments and selective hearing lol, but i wouldn’t change him for the world 🥰
Few weeks ago I set up indoors for a mini portrait shoot with my wee old man, to capture his newly grey beard and older wise eyes. He has changed soo much from the day I laid eyes on him and i like to document his years. Before you see the pictures I captured, I forgot to tell you how much he hates the camera 🙈 ironic I know considering, but it’s true. He hates his picture being taken and always has 😂. So here he is… meet Bailey, my wee old man.
I used my shoot time wisely capturing some extra images to play about with. I tried something a little bit more creative for fun. I created a cartoon feel image, concentrating on his lovely big eye, using window light to create a more natural outdoor feel and adding a wee piece of nature. It’s always fun using my imagination and photoshop to create something a little different, I quite like the outcome….. what do you think?
In keeping with today’s dog theme I would like to announce that my sister, after years of waiting eventually got the puppy she always wanted. My sister has asthma and can only have specific breeds of dog, she also has three young girls so waiting was the right thing for her and it paid off. Her new fur baby is adorable, she is a wee black Cavapoo (cavalier King Charles spaniel/poodle) girl with the temperament of an angel, she is patient with the kids and extremely respectable, she has found her place in the family and settled in instantly. I had the pleasure of meeting her outside and introducing her to the camera. She was very unsure of the camera but with consistency and more meetings she will come around. I’ve included a few wee images from that day and I think she done really well for her first shoot ☺️. This is Belle….
I plan on capturing Belle again, only next time within an outdoor location, eg. A park or woodland area. Just waiting on her getting her immunisations ☺️. Until next time…😘
