When I was packing for our Thanksgiving trips last Wednesday, I had two boxer shadows as I flitted from room to room gathering all the necessities. They anxiously watched me pack my suitcase, and the laptop bag, and my camera case…until finally, finally, I packed their bag, and food, and blankets.
Once we got to Dubuque, they couldn’t leap out of the car fast enough to greet Joseph, their springer spaniel “uncle.” Today, I’m simply going to share my photos from their visit with Joseph. Later in the week, I’ll share a post with tips for photographing your dogs (which I have gleaned from much more experienced photographers than myself).
So here are the happy holiday canines:
A three-dog patio
No toys allowed outside (Gertie's a rebel)
Dog toe bouquet
What did you and your dogs do for the holiday/over the weekend?
I love these pictures and I can’t wait for your advice. You clearly know what you’re doing when it comes to dog photos.
Lola and I spent our Thanksgiving in Texas and she had a fabulous time running around my parents’ yard. It’s a long drive, though and we’re both glad that car ride is over.
Love these pictures! The second one of Duke is absolutely fabulous
Looking forward to hearing your tips…I am hoping for a good camera for Christmas and am looking forward to taking some much better shots!
Your photos are great! You have wonderful technique, so it will be good to hear your tips! I had visiting dogs at my house Thanksgiving and overnight. And my camera broke. Really! The same pups will be visiting this Christmas, so I’ll pay close attention and share details. It seems you had a wonderful weekend! Debra
Oh, that stinks that your camera broke. It always seems to happen at the worst times. I’ll look forward to seeing the Christmas pictures!
Great photos of the dogs! I especially love the black and white of Duke on the stairs. Looks like they had a great time!
Love your photos. I especially like Gertie the rebel with her toy outside. Bubba does the same thing. Can’t wait to hear your photo tips.
Beautiful photos! I’m looking forward to your tips!
I love these photos. Poor Bongo had to go to the dog hotel over Thanksgiving because I flew to Washington state to be with family.
That stair photo is adorable! I have a Boxer too. You can see her here:

She is so cute! I love your pictures of her and all the other dogs. Looks like she has lots of fun playmates!
