Anatomy of a Photo

Do you ever see a dog photo and think, “How did they get that shot??”

We might have found the answer this week: editing. Lots and lots of editing.

This week we decided we wanted to at least try to get a photo of our dogs wearing Easter bunny ears. OK, it’s silly. We know it’s silly. Even the dogs know it’s silly…but they know they have a role in the family business so they play along…

Irie did her part wearing the bunny ears:

Then it was on to Tiki. We got our photo…but what you don’t see are the photos that followed. The shot of the ears coming off…

And almost, almost becoming the next chew toy…

We saved the bunny ears and took them inside, safely putting them up on the kitchen table. Before we could head back out to enjoy the spring sunshine, though, our cat Coco decided she’d get into the photo shoot with a flurry of bunny ear biting/kicking crazy fun:

Definitely a hoppy photo shoot for all!

    Hello Paris,

    Dint recognize Irie & Tiki for a second! When I saw Tiki’s first picture, I thought it was some dog photo sent for “Dog of the Day”!
    Cute pictures :)

    Thanks!! We really had fun dressing the dogs for Easter (and they’re very tolerant and go along with the dress-up fun…at least for a short while!!)
