Water Action Shots
Summers can be hot! Dogs get thirsty during their photo session so sometimes it’s best to give dogs a drink and let their natural instincts take over.
Priest the vizsla lived near Bonnie Brae Park in Denver, and his family taught him to drink from the water fountain. No, he can’t press the button himself. My husband is holding the water on-button while lying on his back, just out of view.
Camera settings like fast shutter speed, single point focus, and a shallow aperture allow me to capture sharp, artistic action shots for you. You can enjoy watching your dog have fun, and let me worry about the technical camera aspects!
German Shepherds, Bravo and Liberty, have perfected the art of drinking from a hose. It’s adorable, but dog teeth are sharp. Their family said they’ve had to patch a few hoses over the years!
Biscuit, the golden retriever puppy, was very entertained by the sprinkler.
Madison likes drinking out of the hose! She lives in a high-rise condo near downtown Denver, so we used my backyard for her photos.
Kiva, the Malamute puppy, enjoyed drinking out of the sprinkler during her photo session.
My (late) yellow lab, Sammy, loved drinking out of the hose. No bribing needed here! He always came running when the hose was out.
Does your dog like the sprinkler or hose? Or perhaps they prefer swimming? We can incorporate water into their photos! Often we take the water photos last so you can have posed (dry) portraits too.
