well, i did promise you all a bunch of dachshund photos from our awesome shoot recently with repeat clients Oscar, Rollo and newcomer Charlie. you can see Oscar and Rollo’s winter session here, and if you missed the blog entry of their “group” photos from this past weekend, you can check that out too.
so, without further doo-doo, welcome to Wiener Week!
that’s Oscar with the big goofy smile and the gorgeous eye-liner.
and if the terrain and backdrop is looking vaguely familiar, yes, these are the same locations where i shot the last two red, mini-dachshund clients last summer belonging to fabulous photographers Dave and Charlotte. Meaghan and Ben loved that shoot so much and Fritz and Greta’s images, that they were determined to utilize the same locations.
so, into the river we went …
from my experience, wiener dogs don’t care much for water … and at first Oscar was looking for a way out …
but it didn’t take long before Oscar was enjoying himself …
soon, though, it was time for Oscar to come out and let his brothers have a turn … you’ll have to stay tuned for those tomorrow.
what a poser Oscar is …almost always up-front and centre …
in fact, encouraging Oscar to move away from the cameras took a few tricks … like sticks …
and strategically thrown Cuz balls …
other times, Oscar just wanted to play with me.
stay tuned for Oscar’s baby brother, Charlie, tomorrow!
have a great Monday, everyone!
BirgitDear Illona,
I found your website via a Google search for dog photography inspiration as I’m just starting out with dog sessions.
Several days later, I’m still browsing your blog in awe at all the phantastic moments you captured. You really do have a way with dogs, that’s for sure. You manage to capture so much personality and the dogs really seem to smile for you. Every blog post tells a little story 🙂
Would love to do a one-on-one so much, but I’m in Germany and will have to let your website suffice for the time being.
Anyways, keep up the good work.
Best wishes from Germany,
Birgit
TamaraLast night I spend an hour browsing through your blog and couldn’t get enough of your beautiful soulful pictures. They made me smile and made me cry. I LOVE your work. P.S. Sorry for bad weather here in Nova Scotia…I hope you decide to come back one day. It is beautiful out here when sun is out.
