Bella puppy

Some more yummy puppy goodness for you all as promised. 

Bella puppy is a very unique looking dog because she is part black lab and part bloodhound. Can you see the bloodhound in her ears? Droopy, soft and adorable. I had so much fun during our shoot, I didn’t want it to end.

By the way, more and more these days I am using multiple lenses in each session. I am trying to get into the habit of doing at least 4-6 lens changes per session, depending on the setting and the looks I am trying to achieve. As always, my favorite shots come from the 20mm 2.8, but I am trying to use my 70-200mm more as well, like in these shots below.

Puppies are known to get into things, driven by their curiosity to explore novel stimulus. The fluff from the trees provided all the entertainment Bella needed, and resulted in a pretty cute fluff-mouth look. :-)

I forgot my treats at the studio (woops!) so we made a pitstop at All The Best at the beginning of the shoot. At the end of the shoot Bella remembered very well what the place was when we walked by. She walked right up to the door and wanted to be let in. It was adorable.

I could have shown you guys all of the fun running shots I got of Bella, but instead thought you might want to see this funny series of her chewing her salmon treats.

    Ahhhh! God. That makes me want another puppy right this minute. She is darling! What an amazing mix that is with the lab and bloodhound. When we got our second dog, we were considering a bloodhound. I think they are so adorable! I would venture a guess that she’s not short on devotion or intelligence one bit. You captured some really nice shots here. I love the flash-frame at the bottom. Very cool!

    I love looking at your photos and Bella was a great doggy model.

    A question: what did you use at the bottom of the post to scroll quickly from photo to photo? Someone remarked it was a flash frame?

    Thanks for sharing!
