I enjoyed a wonderful studio pet photography session with two mixed-breed dogs, Cleo & Tucker! Cleo is a terrier mix, and her mom thinks she has Toy Fox terrier and rat terrier in her heritage. Tucker, her brother, is a chihuahua mix – and has the big ears to prove it! Both of these dogs have somewhat nervous personalities, so we spent a bit of time warming up to the studio environment – but in fact, they had already visited a few days ago for their Pre-Session Consultation, so they were already familiar with the studio – and I think that definitely helped their comfort level! Cleo is more timid, between the two of them, but you should have seen the way she opened up when we brought out her tennis ball! She went from tiptoeing around the studio to running and crashing back & forth in pursuit of her ball! It was hilarious to see! Tucker, on the other hand, is a total mama’s boy, and getting him out from behind mom’s shadow was a challenge all of its own… but when he realized all the attention was on him, he posed like a champ!

 Here are the dogs: Cleo on the left, Tucker on the right!

 At the end of the day, both dogs are completely devoted to their mom, Robbi. It’s a beautiful thing to see.

Thanks for a fabulous studio pet photography session, Robbi! I hope the dogs have “recovered” from all the activity by now, haha! Can’t wait to see you again soon!
