Photo Finish Friday - Portrait Time

Tail wags, dear readers! It's me, Stormy, here with Photo Finish Friday. Not often, not often at all, but sometimes it's important for you to let your bipeds take a few "good" photos of you actually looking at the camera. Yeah, I know ... it goes against what I taught you in my Cooperating for Photos course, but it just makes them so happy! If the bribes are right ... well ... give in to the request for a cute pose every now and then!

For instance ... I was out walking Mom around the front yard the other day and she kept trying to get my attention...

"Are you talking to me?"

She said she'd like to do a portrait shoot. I thought that was a great idea and thought either Zim or Dave would be up for it. Apparently, she meant me. I was all set to not cooperate when she ... she pulled out some of my
Stinky Goodness Jerky Treats! A fresh batch, I might add.

"Are those Stinky Goodness Jerky Treats you've got there?!?!"

What can I say? Those things are simply irresistible!

"Look into my eyes ..."

I got about a million Stinky Goodness Jerky Treats, then gave Mom another of my winning smiles:

Before I knew it we were out of treats ... and ... well ...

"Hey, what's going on over there?"

You have to make them work for it. Or at least keep the treats coming!

Tail wags,
Storms

  2. I think it's okay to cooperate for photos as long as there are very good treats involved.

  4. oh those photos of you dear Stormy do my Marvin heart a power of good!

    Although I was looking for the wedding dresses in your photos, you know the ones wearing the long white dresses, who are always correct.

    But sadly, I couldn't see them. I will check in again later to see if the Brides who are right have appeared. Confused.com Marvin xxxxx

  6. Woo Hoo Stormy, great portraits. We are very impressed by your cooperation but I guess you need to give your Mom a break once in a while and the Stinky Goodness treats dont hurt either.

  11. Aw, Stormy, those portraits are frame-worthy. Us two-leggers really do enjoy when you four-leggers cooperate with our photo taking efforts, so I'm sure you've made mom really happy that she's created a memory that will last a lifetime. :)

  16. Wow that's a good idea, Storm! I'll keep that in mind whenever those flashy boxes come out.

    But you make it look so effortless, you pretty dog!

  17. Most clever tactic. Make the human food dispenser break out the nommies if they want their pictures so much.
