Gorgeous outdoor weather for the past days.
It hard to believe it’s November but it felt like Spring.
It hard to believe it’s November but it felt like Spring.
My mom thought it will be a great idea to do a photo shoot for the
2010 Blog Pet Pals Holiday Exchange Cards.
I was loving the weather too much …
I rather do Golden Grass Rolls.
I was totally uncooperative to partake on this photo shoot.

My mom is not a professional photographer and takes photos on a regular digital camera.
Here are some helpful tips that she learned from taking photographs of me.
5 Helpful Tips of Taking Holiday Pet Photos
1. Planning and preparation are keys to a successful holiday pet photo. Select a simple theme. Plan it based it on your dog’s behavioral mood. Never do a photo shoot when your dog is sleepy, tired and/or hungry. A relax and well feed dog is the best time.
2. Select appropriate accessories. Not all dogs want to be accessorized and dressed-up. Be sensitive to the comfort level of your dog.
3. Paying attention to the photo background. Keep the photo background as simple as possible. Keep in mind the real subject of your photo shoot, your dog.
4. Lighting plays an important role. Natural lighting is the best. Thus, taking holiday pet photo outdoors is great. As much as possible avoid using your camera’s flash. If you are limited to indoor area, makes sure to utilize a room that has windows/doors and allow as much natural light as possible. You many use other lightning options such as lamps to bring more light in the room.
5. Be experimental. Enjoy and most importantly have FUN. “Relish this time you spend with your dog. You’ll forever treasure the end-product.”

I can't imagine you not being cooperative. I think that any picture of you is a good picture.
I love your picture Sugar!
Thanks for the tips! I can use as many as I can get:)
More treats probably would have resulted in better cooperation!
Hi Sugar! I love this picture of you! Hasn't the weather been great. I can't believe other parts of the country are having snow and cold weather. We are very lucky.
Your pal, Pip
BOL! Way to protest, Sugar!! But I have to tell you, now you've gone and reminded mom that she needs to get our photos taken too, thanks a lot (BOL). Think I'll take a tip from you & stick out my tongue!!

Thanks for the tips!
Muah,

I see NOTHING wrong with your picture. Two Leggers have no sense of Style. BOL
Dear Miss Sugar ♥
Your “uncooperative” photo shoot is very original and artistic.
Pawsome job!
I’ll look into the Holiday Exchange Cards…
Smooches,

Our Mama gave up years ago and just goes thru the past year's photos to find the ones that work best. 🙂
whats wrong with that picture? BOL
You are happy and that's what the holidays are all about!!
Wyatt
We had a good giggle over your picture, Sugar! We agree with your tips, too! It's even tougher when you try to get multiple dogs in the picture, too.
Bunny
Thanks for the tips Sugar! Mommy's getting ideas together for this year's holiday card with of course me on it along with my baby brother. BTW, I really like your picture 🙂 BOL!!

Sugar –
I love that perfectly GOLDEN pic. Rolling in the grass with your tongue sticking out – says "HAPPY" to me – the perfect sentiment for the holidays!
Guess we are not too fussy because we really do LOVE any pics we see of Sugar – you look very loving to us.
Thanks for the photo tips – Mom needs to get going and try to get us to cooperate.
Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
I've known for months that we need to get going on our pictures too–But I just haven't been in the mood, and when I am the dogs aren't. I need the cosmos to all come together–I know they will, last year it was just before Christmas when they did–Better late than never! 🙂
What a cute golden tongue you have!
Licks,
Ruthie
Ha, Ha!

You look maaaaarvelous, darling.
Still cracking up while typing this,

Sometimes I think the humans just need to lighten up. I mean is there really a bad picture of any of us? Maybe we should have an outtake only holiday card exchange.
Slobbers,

You look great there, Sugar. The tongue is one of the best parts of the photo.

We think you look great Sugar! Your mom should just use this picture, shows your goofy side. 🙂

Heehee…I'd totally rather roll in the grass than gets my picture taken, too! But my mom liked those tips a lot and says thank you. I s'pose that means I'VE now got a holiday photo shoot in my future. Sigh.

I love that top picture!
Those are some excellent picture taking tips. One thing I don't tend to think about as much as I should is the background.
Your golden tongue is sweet and cute! Love it!!! Oops! it's too late for us to pawticipate in the photo shoot for the 2010 Blog Pet Pals Holiday Exchange Cards though. Never mind, we wait for the next round : )
Hi Sugar! I quite adore your photo face. So natural and says it all 🙂
