Happy holidays to you! I wanted to share our holiday card with all of you…but let me tell you, it took several (I mean several) shots to get a good one! My Mom was the photographer and my Dad was trying to get Izzy’s attention…the neighbors must have thought we were all crazy!
Here are some of the outtakes…
Izzy: squirrel!!!
Izzy trying to wiggle away..she’s had too much of these crazy shenanigans!

One of my personal favorites…pretty typical in many of the shots:
But we finally got a good one!!!
And the finished product…
Happy holidays to you and yours!
PS- Congratulations to Brynn—she won the holiday pampering giveaway!
Thank you to everyone who entered and reads along…I appreciate it!
Aww, your holiday card is great, Valerie! Izzy couldn’t be a spunkier or cuter pup – love her curls! My husband and I have only tried to have one “family portrait” with our dogs, and it was a royal disaster. They kept trying to wrestle, ha! Oh well :) Thank you again for the giveaway – I am so excited that I won!! :)
Awww gee thanks Brynn ;-) It must be something with dogs–a camera comes out and they get ADD or something! And congratulations- thank YOU for reading!!
Haha, yeah, that looks about right for a photo shoot with a dog :) We did some engagement photos with our two dogs last summer and it was impossible to get all 4 of us looking at the camera at the same time! Your final shot turned out great though. Merry Christmas!
Oh wow- I can’t imagine with TWO dogs– that’s gotta be a test of patience! But even if they look away- I’m sure it still captures their personality! Thanks Anne…and Merry Christmas to you! Hopefully we can meet up at a race or CRB activity in 2014!!
Ha ha ha! I love the outtakes!!! And your card :)
Two years ago, I was trying to get Steven and his dad and bro to stand in front of the tree to take a pic. Data went right over and sat in the chair, like he knew what I was talking about. The pic still cracks me up! http://www.ilaxstudio.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/111225Christmas1.jpg Ha ha ha
Oh my goodness- Data is priceless! Like “I’m ready for my closeup!” Too funny!!
These outtakes are great. Merry Christmas!!!
