Shooting with a Pet

Roxy is our family dog and she has a special place in my heart - she is a Lhasa Apso + Shih Tzu mix, but we would never know for sure, because she was a stray and we adopted her when she was only 6 months old. She is now 5 years old and fully grown up I miss her puppy days to no end. Although she was a handful, her chew marks are still to this day decorating many of our furnitures around the house. She is fully independent, loves to ride the car with windows rolled down, chasing after squirrels in the back yard and she is a talker! If you leave her by herself in the house for long or leave her without saying good bye, she will make sure you understand that she is unhappy with you when you get back home! 

Roxy doens't like to pose for cameras, so for this session I set up the camera on a tripod. It works best for her when I shoot myself first and let her and I play around and engage with her later. Thats because after a while she will come towards me and this is when I can get her in the pictures.
