D'Ogi puppy
D'Ogi (pronounced Dee Oh Gee- as in how you spell DOG), is a darling little schnauzer puppy who had his big, exciting photo shoot day with me recently.
D'Ogi was a blast- making friends with everyone at the park, including a group of young girls who were having a picnic. I was struggling to shoot him in the full, bright sun, (dark colored energetic puppy + heavy bangs + bright sun = tough times for the pet photographer) so we eventually moved into the shade, where his true personality came out.
Tell me he's not an adorable puppy.
SCORE!! Young hungry puppy + massive picnic spread = true bliss
It's simply impossible for me to grow tired of blue sky shots. Hopefully you feel the same way too! You will be seeing these regularly on my blog. I guess you could call it a full-blown obsession.
Puppies tend to get tangled very easily (note the leash around his toy)
Dogi's favorite toy is called 'roadkill' because , well, that's exactly what it looks like.
Insert JAWS theme song here. This was the moment when we discovered D'Ogi's foot fetish. After that he went to town on Christina's shoes; jumping on them, chewing on them, playing with them, as evidenced by the series of shots below. I couldn't pick just a few so I am sharing the whole batch. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
Note the shoelace in puppy's mouth.
Stumble It!

oh my gosh what a dollface!! this is such a great session. oh and thanks for adding my link to your blog. i've done the same as i really love your work!
he is {gorgeous} and you capture him beautifully!
i am in the process of converting my passions (dogs and photography) into a profession and did a portfolio building session with 2 minature schnauzers a few weeks back. i {really} struggled with getting the pictures i wanted... and unfortunately you couldn't really see their eyes in most of the images (i had a bright sunny day and they had those long heavy bangs!) and sadly there's generally just a black blur in the eye socket area!
anyhow, your pics are {truly} inspiring!
I feel your pain Pen!
I have shot many schnauzers in my time and they are always challenging. Really any dog with dark fur and heavy bangs and dark eyes are a challenge for us. My advice is to use a fast lens (f/2.8 or faster) on a good quality dslr (Like a canon or nikon), and if that's not possible, try using a teensy bit of fill flash; if that's not possible, use shadow/highlight in photoshop to bring up the detail in the shadows.
