We love bringing you images from readers whether they are just beginning or already pros…like this shot from Carrie Hasson! Sometimes a shot just makes us smile. Many elements combined like great angle, wonderful expression and beautiful colors all bring this story to life in one frame. An outtake from a “bump” in her session.
I took this snap of Zoe the pug as I was preparing to photograph a little girl that she belongs to. Zoe is on the older side, and she has a new younger sibling, a pup that has 100 times the energy and 100 times less patience. Unfortunately, we had to postpone the shoot due to a nice sized goose-egg on the head of my little client that she endured after trying to rally the pups on top of the bed and instead threw her head back against the window sill:( Luckily, it was a friend and neighbor, and rescheduling was a cinch. In the midst of all the commotion, little Zoe decided to hide out in the dollhouse. The riley pup, you see, is bigger than Zoe and can’t fit:) Didn’t mean that the puppy didn’t try and try and try to get to Zoe, who by the way was raised in her early years surrounded by cats and is true to her nickname of Garfield the Cat. Have you ever known a dog to lick it’s paws and wipe it’s face with it’s paws? That would be Zoe. Have you ever known a dog to make feline hisses and growls at another dog, specifically a puppy that won’t stop barking and egging you on? That would be Zoe! Zoe aka Garfield:)
This shot was caught while mom was holding my little client on the bed, nursing her goose-egg and there was an ever so brief moment in time where said puppy pranced away from the dollhouse to check in on mom and daughter. In that instant, Zoe looked pleadingly in mom’s direction. I imagined her to be thinking something like this, “Come on mom, can’t you help a pug out?!”. And then as fast as I could snap the pic, the the puppy was back.

This is so damn cute! A dog that thinks it’s a cat – now that’s my kind of dog.
Great photo–love that expression! Had to share that we have an almost 2 year old terrier mix that came into a house with 2 older cats. She sits on the back of the couch just like a cat would and also licks her paws and uses them to clean her face. So funny what they pick up on!
This is hilarious! Love it.
That’s a cute shot! Poor dog always being abused. Sorry about the goose-egg on young client. Ouch!
My dog likes to lick her paws and occasionally wipes her face, too! LOL!
This is too SWEET, love pugs!!!
