I have that same problem. I'll get a great shot of the dog and there will be a cat licking himself in the background or a candy bar wrapper or something! Yep. I have that same problem.

I LOVE taking photos of the dogs. It's one of my favorite things! I really like playing around with the black and white and sepia tone pictures. Good suggestions. I LOVE taking photos of the dogs.

I've had dogs do that too - run up to me and get too close every time they see the camera. My cats are good at making a point to stop being cute as soon as they see the camera. They're like, "OK we're done. Outa here!" Ha! I’ve had dogs do that too – run up to me and get too close every time they see the camera.

Our old dog totally knew how to pose for photos - you brought the camera out and he'd get all Zoolander, looking right at the camera and giving us all his looks. Biggie, on the other hand, sees the camera and wants to come over and check it out - "whatcha doin? what's that? can I smell?" The worst is that he will be doing something hilarious or cute for several minutes, and as soon as I pick up the camera, he stops because anything I'm doing must be more interesting. Oh, and for a big dog, getting on the dog's level - or below - is a great idea. These are really good tips!

I can tell she's used to having her picture taken. I'd love to see the photos you get of Walter and Jake! It's hard for me to get photos of Ace because he is so dark. Outdoor photos are best for him with lots of bright light and no flash. Sheba looks so great in your photos! I can tell she’s used to having her picture taken.

She often gives it her intent stare, and then if Anette or I make funny noises, she tilts her head and we get all those little wrinkles on her forehead, which are so cute!
