Her official name is Lola Bean Wood.
These next two shots make me laugh because to get her attention I was grabbing handfulls of grass and letting them float down around her face. She was jumping to catch them.
Grass is yummy!
A single piece of grass stuck to her face. But I liked it, so I left it there.

Is very hard work
She dreams in color

I love these pictures. Just wanted to say that. I enjoy your blog immensely - keep up the good work! I have a Pekingese who has a similar flat face look to him, and he sleeps with his tongue sticking out too. Cracks me up every time I see him do that. :-) Thanks again!
I think I am smitten with Lola! She is too cute….reminds me of my pugger,,,sorta! I love the way her teeth poke out :) and that bw profile is awesome!
love seeing your shots of pets!
what a profile….you really captured her personality!
Dennis - She is 1/2 Cocker and 1/2 Pug. I don’t think that is a puggle…but it doesn’t make her any less cute! :)
Hi Danielle … When I am preparing prints for clients, I do minor color/contrast corrections and always sharpen the image. That is about it unless there is something in the image that I don’t want. But mostly, when I shoot, I look for those annoying aspects and remove them before I click the shutter. It takes time to refine that skill but it is a great one to practice.
I love the curled tail shot. I do 95% of my composition in camera, so this is exactly how it was shot, no cropping. She was actually leaving the frame and I decided to just keep shooting.
I’m curious about what kind of touching up you do before offering prints to the client. I’ve played around with Photoshop Lightroom to correct some exposure, tint, or temps, but do you every “photoshop” things out or in? If your shot is more spontanous (obviously the yawn wasn’t posed, per se), how do you deal with aspects in the shot that affect the composition in ways that you don’t want?
Thanks for sharing your pictures. I really like the curled tail at the edge of the shot. Did you deliberately get that shot, or did you end up cropping out some of Lola to make it so stunning?
What a great dog! Is she a puggle?
