HOW adorable! I love the props! The texture of the background is wonderful.

Love the tapestry backdrop! Are these two different litters? Very nice puppies and great shots of them.

thanks all,
Jim ... they're a litter of 9 ... but I failed at getting a good shot of all 9 ... so I did the lights & darks separtely LOL actually designed it, so I can merge the photos with the darks in the back ... just didn't feel like PS'ing last night and am on the road again this morning

Hi Nina,

These are spectacular. I think you did a great job taking the core themes of a retrieving dog in this set of photos. Excellently done. Thanks for sharing.

James

Absolutely marvelous shots of beautiful puppies...

How did you get the images of the four and five puppies? IMO, shooting multiple dogs is difficult and sometimes frustrating. The difficulty increases geometrically with each dog added... Make those dogs puppies and you have added another several levels of difficulty.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Those puppies are so cute, thanks for the post!

rpcrowe ... it is called SIT ... STAY!!!

seriously, as I said above "I failed at getting a good shot of all 9"

lots of assistants (one for every 2 pups) plus a noise maker

drop them in the spot 1 . 2 (raise hands) . 3 make new distracting noise & shoot a couple of pics
I never take more than 3-5 images per set up

be prepaired and pray ... that's my motto LOL

also, my #1 assistant & I do an average of 1 litter a week, some weeks more ... so experience helps LOL

thanks all

Beautiful puppies! You captured them well!

These are absoflippinlutely adorable!
