Dog Photography Blog

The middle of the day is when the sun hits the highest point in its arc as it travels across the sky. (Yeah yeah, the Earth rotates, the sun stays still, yadda yadda!). At the hightest point, the most light is available to grow plants, bake landscapes and mess up photographs. 

Did you know that the middle of the day isn’t always noon?

It’s true! Head to Date & Time and type in your city (or a big city in your region). If you scroll to the current date and click on it, you’ll see a curved graph that illustrates when the sun rises, hits the middle of the day and when it sets. (This is a great tool for photographers for planning around golden hour & sunset!)

March 15th in Minneapolis has a middle of they day landing at 1:21 pm. 

 

5 reasons why dog photography during the middle of the day sucks:

• SHADOWS!
  Trees, leashes, the photographer’s shadow, all arrive dark and hard edged to cross the dog in your scene. Why are these shadows so dramatic? Because the sun is a teenie tiny light source a long ways away, which means the light it casts in the middle of the day is hard light. (The smaller the light source the harder the light & shadows, the bigger the light source the softer the light & shadows!)
  
  
• CONTRAST!
  Contrast is the range of brightness in an image. Middle of the day images tend to be VERY strong in contrast with hard shadows and overly bright whites. This means you can have super bright whites and very dark darks all together in one image. So much contrast!
  
  
• HIGHLIGHTS & LIGHT COLORS! 
  The lightest parts of your image now have gained a TON of light due to the sun being overhead. This means highlights may tend to be blown out (no details left, pure white) and light dogs are prone to looking like dogs without details. 
  
  
• SQUINTY EYES!
  People aren’t the only ones prone to squinty eyes! Facing a dog into the sun (sun at your back) can make your dog squint too!
  
  
• HOT HOT HOT!
  The middle of the day is the hottest time of the day, especially during the summer! Not comfortable for people or dogs to be active in, especially dogs with double coats and squashed faces.

Here are some examples featuring dogs from Tri County Humane Society. Every Tuesday at 11 am I swing by and photograph the adoptable dogs and cats. The dogs and I traipse outside, no matter the weather (exception is brutal cold). Which means we land smack in the start of the middle of the day. 

All of the image are unedited to give you a solid representation of why photographing dogs in the middle of the day sucks! (They get leashes edited out before they are sent to Tri County Humane Society to use on their website!)

This is LB! He’s currently available for adoption with Tri County Humane Society!

OOOOF! It was sunny on Tuesday! Note the hard shadows coming off his feet & legs and the shadowing on the side of his face (indicating where the sun was). The shadow by his eye closest to the light is from his eye socket! LB is a light tan dog which meant the brightness of the light gave him an extra light coloring and some overly bright highlights. 

Another of LB! That blob in the lower right hand corner? That’s my shadow! He’s facing the sun more, which means he has less shadowing on his face, though the cheekbone shadow is quite strong. Check out that leash shadow! When it comes to editing out leashes, make sure to look for the shadow from leash as well! Or you could end up with a strong black line across a leg or foot (like above)! 

Scrappy! A lovely dark brownish black dog. The sun was at his side, which meant the side of his face opposite was VERY dark in shadow. The hard edges of the shadow are harder to see in the grass, but you can see by their darkness how much contrast was in the light that morning. The highlights and white are quite bright – note the leash clasp, white on his chest and birch trees in the background. Overall the image has a contrasty, crunchy look that isn’t dreamy or really pleasing. 

Another of Scrappy! Again the light is coming from the side of Scrappy, which means the opposite side of his face and body is enrobed in shadows. Note the brightness on his face where the light is hitting making his dark brown black color overly bright. And the rather bright spot on his tongue too! The brights and darks in the grass give if a fussy, messy look. 

What can you do when that’s the time you have to photograph adoptable dogs?

Now there are some ways you can get middle of the day lighting to work for you!

• Backlight
  Position yourself facing into the light, with the light at the back of the dog. No squinty eyes and you’ll get some lovely light that tickles whiskers and hairs. The biggest downfall – dark dog faces. Since the light is behind the dog, there isn’t much light that will fall upon the dog’s face. You can play with it a bit in post processing or use a reflector or pop of fill flash to help balance your image. 
  
  
• Open shade
  This shade is found at the edge of shadows with your dog facing out of the shadow towards the light. The shaded background will behind your dog and the light from the edge of the shadow will bounce and illuminate your dog. The easiest way to see this in action is to use your garage. Open the garage door and position your dog right where the shadow meets the light. Observe. Rotate your dog to face into the garage (note the super bright background). Then lead your dog into the garage and watch how the light dims and grows the closer to edge of shadow you move. 
  
  
• Embrace it!
  Position your dog facing the light and photograph away. There may be some squinty eyes, some high contrast and blown out hightlights, but you potentially can have lovely blue skies and true colors on your pup. Or head to an area of interesting shadows and place your dog within them to capture the artistic side of middle of the day shooting. 

Not sure if you’re in middle of the day light? Check for hard shadows! Deep dark shadows with crisp edges is typically an indicator that an image was captured sometime during the middle of the day.

We’ve made it through the 5 reasons dog photography in the middle of the day sucks, with examples, and ways you can work with middle of the day light with deep shadows, bright whites and high contrast!

As of June 2024 Short & Sweet Sessions are no longer available!

---

 

Welcome to the meet and greet series of the sessions at About A Dog Photography!

You’ll get to meet each of the sessions – Digital Dog, Short & Sweet, Teenie Weenie, Shitty Weather and Puppy Series – and learn what makes each session unique. 

The last in the series is the Short & Sweet Session!

What is the Short & Sweet Session?

Short & Sweet Sessions are shorter in duration (20 minutes!) and offered exclusively a few times during the year, typically during the summer and when the fall colors arrive. 

The session goes like this: 

• We meet at the location of my choice (if you want to pick your location the Digital Dog is your pick!)
• I meet your dog / dogs and you and we begin!
• Locations for Short & Sweet Sessions will offer tons of diversity in backgrounds with less strolling, since we are on a time limit!
• We pause, ask for a sit, a lay, a stand in place and look at the lady making mega goofy sounds. 
• This process repeats for the duration of the session. Low key, fun and chill as we meander for 20 minutes.
• The session ends, we depart ways – me to start curating your gallery, you and your dog to head home and snooze the evening away. 

---

In regards to “posing” –  it will always be an ask. Do you think your dog will sit/stand here? Put their feet up? Lay on the lumpy bumpy ground? If the answer is yes or probably then we will direct your dog to what we would like them to do. If it results in a stand vs or a lay vs stand, no worries we will work with it! We will ask once or twice and if we get a nope from your dog, we’ll adapt and carry on.

The aim is FUN! If the ask doesn’t mean fun for your dog, we won’t push them. 

---

What kind of images will be captured during your session?

Headshots

– Shoulders and up of your dog’s head (classic like any portrait you have had done in your school days).

Full body portraits

– Portraits with your dog’s full body, in a sit, lay or stand. 

Action shots

– Your dog walking with you away and towards me, your dog running away and towards me (if you can hit me with a ball you get bonus points haha!), swimming, shaking off, carrying a stick – all ways your dog is in motion!

Details

– Whiskers, toes, noses, eyes, ears, tails, butt swirls, all the details that make your dog who they are!

Your bond

– From family portraits to your hand on their head, your hand and their paws, your dog at your feet and any other ways we can capture the bond you share with your dog. 

---

Some other things you might be wondering:

Do we have to stick to one location?

Yes we do! 20 minutes will give us enough time to stroll slightly, but not enough time to cover a lot of ground or visit multiple locations. 

Why can’t we do pictures in the middle of the day?

We could…. if you want hard dark shadows, overly bright whites, crispy contrast and possible squinting dogs (people for sure squint in middle of the day light!). Backgrounds can be overly bright, and shade can be dappled, just not the ideal for stunning portraits of your dog. 

Instead if you want the dreamiest, warm, happy light then the timeframe of two hours before sunset is when the light will be the best. (It’s called golden hour due to this lovely golden light!). I favor evening golden hour as the light wanes into sunset vs the golden hour of the morning due to the color of the light and geez that sunrise can be EARLY!!!

Though…. depending on what we want to achieve we may have to consider different times of the day.

Looking to head to the lake, get a still stunning reflection and some lifting fog? Then we are going to need to be at the lake at sunrise (lakes in MN are typically calmest in the morning). The same rule applies for frost, dew and morning fog. If we want to experience it, we will need to arrive at sunrise. For sunrise golden hour will have 2 hours after the sun rises for the best light.

Wanting to do epic hiking through the woods and forests for your session? We will need to bump our time earlier in the evening especially the deeper we go inward. Trees tend to block a fair amount of light the deeper we go into the depths. 

And if you have the power to… order us up a cloudy day that breaks at sunset into puffy clouds that a bathed in stunning colors… shucks I can’t order that up either!

Does my dog need to be leashed? 

Yes! Since we are out and about your dog will need to be leashed during the session. Leashes will always be edited out of your final images so your dog will look like an off leash superstar!

When is the best time to do a Short & Sweet Session?

When they are announced! These are exclusive, limited edition sessions that are only available a couple times during the year. Classically they land in the fall with fall colors. Summer and the winter holiday season can also have Short & Sweet Sessions too, stay tuned for the announcements throughout the year!

Let’s capture your dog with playful, vibrant and classic images in a Short & Sweet Session!

Welcome to the meet and greet series of the sessions at About A Dog Photography!

You’ll get to meet each of the sessions – Digital Dog, Short & Sweet Session, Teenie Weenie, Shitty Weather and Puppy Series – and learn what makes each session unique. 

Next in the series is Teenie Weenie Session!

What is the Teenie Weenie Session?

This session is quite short in duration – a whopping 10 minutes! Hence the Teenie Weenie name!  This is an exclusive session offered only at certain times during the year – during fall colors & at holiday time. 

Teenie Weenie Sessions can occur indoors in a studio setting or outdoors in a super awesome location! (And yes, they are similar to Shitty Weather Sesssions minus that they can occur from April to November and CAN be done outdoors!)

The session goes like this: 

• You arrive at my garage, park in the driveway next to my Outback.
• Open the gate and come in the garage door.
• Everything is set up and ready to go! Studio strobes, backdrop and ample treats (if your dog has allergies let me know!).
• Leash off, collar off if you want some “nudes” of your dog. 
• We wrangle your dog on the backdrop, with or without holiday props, and capture playful, fun, silly and classic images. 
• This session is QUICK – 10 minutes and we wrap! Perfect for super busy schedules. 
• You and your dog depart, waiting for the gallery to arrive within 2 weeks of your session. 

Or if we are outdoors:

• We meet at the location I have picked – it will be awesome! 
• Our 10 minute timer starts. 
• Loads of silly noises to get your dog’s attention during the allotted time. 
• We wrap, you head on your way and eagerly wait for your gallery to arrive within 2 weeks of your session!

Treat Catching Shots

– Your dog, their mouth and epic drool as they catch treats tossed their direction. Fun and full of humor! INDOORS only!

Props

– Christmas props or winter props like scarves. 

Your bond

– From family portraits to your hand on their head, your hand and their paws, your dog at your feet and any other ways we can capture the bond you share with your dog. 

 

---

Some other things you might be wondering:

Do we have to stick to one location?

Yes we do! Teenie Weenie Sessions are short in duration – 10 minutes! This gives us ample time for image diversity, but no wiggle room for strolling to different locations. (Especially if we are shooting in studio!) If you need more time, the Digital Dog is a better pick!

Does my dog need to be leashed? 

YES! A leash will help wrangle your pup and keep him or safe during your session. All leashes will be edited out of the final images!

If we are in the studio, then no, your dog doesn’t need to be on leash!

When is the best time to do a Teenie Weenie Session?

Fall color time and winter holidays! Teenie Weenie Sessions are limited edition sessions that are only available occasionally. Typically these sessions are available when the leaves burst into bold color in the fall and when the world begins to look like Christmas. 

How do I book a Teenie Weenie Session?

Let’s capture your dog with playful, vibrant and classic images in a Teenie Weenie Session!

Welcome to the meet and greet series of the sessions at About A Dog Photography!

You’ll get to meet each of the sessions – Digital Dog, Short & Sweet Session, Teenie Weenie, Shitty Weather and Puppy Series – and learn what makes each session unique. 

Next in the series is Shitty Weather Sessions

What is the Shitty Weather Session?

This session takes place from January to March, during the shitty weather season when it is too bloody cold to be outside for portraits (general rule of thumb: it needs to be 15 degrees or warmer to do a session outdoors, including windchill.) So when it is too cold outside, we move indoors!

And what makes a Shitty Weather Session different than a Digital Dog Session? BACKDROPS!

That’s right, from crisp paper (light blue, pink, red, dark green, black or white) to massively funky patterned backdrops, these are playful “studio” sessions. Swing by my house and I’ll have the garage prepped and kinda cozy (our garage tends to stay chilly but not freezing cold in the winter, I’ve got a little heater that helps). 

These sessions are great for fun, classic studio images with or without winter holiday props. 

The session goes like this: 

• You arrive at my garage, park in the driveway next to my Outback.
• Open the gate and come in the garage door.
• Everything is set up and ready to go! Studio strobes, backdrop and ample treats (if your dog has allergies let me know!).
• Leash off, collar off if you want some “nudes” of your dog. 
• We wrangle your dog on the backdrop, with or without holiday props, and capture playful, fun, silly and classic images. 
• This session is QUICK – 10 minutes and we wrap! Perfect for super busy schedules. 
• You and your dog depart, waiting for the gallery to arrive within 2 weeks of your session. 

---

In regards to “posing” for the Shitty Weather Session – there will be TONS of treats and loads of luring. We will ask your dog to sit within the perimeters of the backdrop and aim their attention towards us. If your dog lays instead of sitting, we’ll work with it for that image, then ask your dog to reset into a sit. 

Backdrops and props can be a little weird for dogs, don’t worry if your dog doesn’t feel comfortable next to a prop or sitting on the backdrop. Blue is pretty much a pro model and still is weirded out by the paper backdrop if he backs up into it. 

The aim is FUN! If the ask doesn’t mean fun for your dog, we won’t push them. 

---

What kind of images will be captured during your session?

Headshots

– Shoulders and up of your dog’s head (classic like any portrait you have had done in your school days).

Full body portraits

– Portraits with your dog’s full body, in a sit, lay or stand. 

Treat Catching Shots

– Your dog, their mouth and epic drool as they catch treats tossed their direction. Fun and full of humor!

Props

– Winter holiday props – Valentine’s, St. Patrick’s, Mardi Gras and Easter all can be incorporated for fun images to share or create cards with!

---

Some other things you might be wondering:

Do we have to stick to one location?

Yes we do! Shitty Weather Sessions are ALWAYS indoors with a backdrop, the main location being my garage.  If you’d like to stroll outdoors with more time, the Digital Dog is a better fit!

Does my dog need to be leashed? 

Nope! They are free to explore the garage and be “naked”. If your dog is mega bouncy and won’t hold still, we may have to leash them to wrangle them to the proper area.  

When is the best time to do a Shitty Weather Session?

Anytime between January to March! And time of day is open too! We can shoot in the morning, the middle of the day or into the evening. Being indoors and a studio, it doesn’t matter when we have the session!

How do I book a Shitty Weather Session?

Head to the online booking to see the available dates from January to March! Book your session online! This is the fastest way to book!

Let’s capture your dog with playful, vibrant and classic images in a Shitty Dog Session!

Welcome to the meet and greet series of the sessions at About A Dog Photography!

You’ll get to meet each of the sessions – Digital Dog, Short & Sweet Session, Teenie Weenie, Shitty Weather and Puppy Series – and learn what makes each session unique. 

The next in the series is the Puppy Series Session! (See the first in the series here: Digital Dog Session)

What is the Puppy Series Session?

These sessions celebrates everything PUPPY!

From baby toe beans and shark teeth, to oversized paws and ears, to lanky legs and goofy teenager antics to polished adult, these sessions are designed to capture the moments in growth your puppy will have in their first year. 

The Puppy Series Session comes in a series of 3 or 2. 

The series of 3 sessions: first session at 2-4 months (8 weeks – 16 weeks), second session at 6 months and the final session at 1 year. Perfect for brand new puppies from breeders or young puppies from animal shelters and rescues. 

The series of 2 sessions can be at 2-6 months and at 1 year. Perfect for puppies who are from animal shelters and rescues who may be a little older than 2-4 months when they arrive into your home. 

(If you want to do more sessions, say 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year we totally can! Ask me about it!)

Each session is an hour and will follow your puppy around as they explore the wide, new world. Puppies in the 2 – 4 months range will have their session at home in their backyard (we can explore if you’re comfortable & your puppy has had 2 in their shot series). After that, we can explore anywhere we want with your 6 month and older puppy! 

The sessions go like this: 

• We meet at your house (2-4 months)
• I meet your puppy, giving them lots of love or ample time to meet me. 
• We stroll into your yard and hang out in your house. 
• Lots of treats, lots of silly sounds, ample breaks to let your puppy have fun!
• This process repeats for the duration of the session
• The session is slated for an hour, though it will be dictated by your puppy. Is he or she snoozing a half hour in? Then we will wrap up for the day. If they are running, playing and exploring past the hour, we’ll stay as long as we have light!
• We depart ways – me to start curating your gallery, you and your puppy to head in for a solid snooze. 

This process repeats at 6 months and 1 year, though instead of your house and yard we will explore a new location! 

• We meet at the picked location (you get to pick where we go! Can’t choose? We can sort it out together!)
• I meet your puppy again and marvel how big they’ve gotten!
• Then we stroll! It may seem like I’m distracted as we walk – I’m actually scanning for the best places to ask your puppy to “pose” in. 
• We pause, ask for a sit, a lay, a stand in place and look at the lady making mega goofy sounds. 
• Lots of treats, then we meander to the next spot – a clutch of grass, a wondering fence, a pathway of brick, piles of leaves, peeling paint on old barns, or any other point of color, light, texture that catches my eye and will make for EPIC portraits. 
• This process repeats for the duration of the session. Low key, fun and chill as we stroll. 
• Around the hour mark your puppy might want to snuggle in for the evening – totally ok and normal! If your puppy is showing that he or she is done with all the “posing”, walking, sniffing and action shots, then we will end your session and head back to the car. 
• We depart ways – me to start curating your gallery, you and your puppy to head home and snooze the evening away.

In regards to “posing” –  it will always be an ask. Do you think your puppy will sit/stand here? Put their feet up? Lay on the lumpy bumpy ground?

What kind of images will be captured during your session?

Grow With Me Prop / Replicated Poses

Your puppy is going to grow bigger in rapid strides so having a “grow with me” prop helps you remember how teenie weenie your pup once was. This prop could be anything as long as the size is static. Think plush toys, cookbooks, Converse shoes, baskets, or go super creative and find something that pertains to your puppy’s name. Loki could be a Loki POP or plush, hunting names with duck decoys or mounted deer antlers (as long as you don’t mind a couple of puppy teeth marks!), floral names with fake flowers, anything you can think up.

Each session we will work on replicating the “grow with me” prop pose to create an awesome transition from puppy to adult. The prop will seem like its shrinking!

Or if you’re not keen on a “grow with me” prop, then we can focus on replicated poses. This can be as simple as a sit or lay with paws and legs pointing the same direction. The transition will be cool, though the scale of puppy to adult may be a little lost without a prop object. 

Headshots

– Shoulders and up of your puppy’s squishy little head (classic like any portrait you have had done in your school days).

Full body portraits

– Portraits with your puppy’s entire wiggly little body in the frame. Sitting, standing or laying down is quite alright!

Action shots

– Puppies are full of action! From chasing after legs, zooming in the grass, chomping on sticks and exploring with great gusto. 

Details

– Baby shark teeth, whiskers, toes, noses, eyes, ears, tails, butt swirls, all the details that make your puppy who they are!

Your bond

– From family portraits to your hand on their head, your hand and their paws, your puppy at your feet and any other ways we can capture the bond you share with your growing puppy. 

---

Some other things you might be wondering:

Is anything included in the session?

Each puppy session includes 2 digital images with a grand total of 6 digital images over all 3 sessions! Plus you’ll get a piece of epic wall art – one 10×20 metal that features 3 of your puppy’s images, one from each session, put together in a mega timeless collage! OOOOOOO! Plus you’ll get 25% off all a la cart purchases! 

If you opt for the Puppy Series x2, you’ll get 2 digital images each session for a grand total of 4 digital images! Plus you get 20% off all a la cart purchases! 

Do we have to stick to one location?

Yes! With each puppy session being up to an hour will won’t have a ton of time to visit multiple locations. Don’t worry we’ll pick a location that is brimming with loads of different backdrops to explore. Plus remember your puppy won’t have an infinite amount of energy for longer adventures (we can do that when they are older!). 

And for puppies in the 2-4 month age range, I recommend that we stay at home or in your yard (pending vaccinations). 

Can we do the session in our backyard?

We sure can! If we do, please pick up poo and assorted random dismembered toys around your yard. Fences will become part of the backdrop as well. Your puppy will be free to roam, though we may employ a leash to help wrangle them to an area – so they sit next to your flowers instead of tromping through them.

Why can’t we do pictures in the middle of the day?

We could…. if you want hard dark shadows, overly bright whites, crispy contrast and possible squinting dogs (people for sure squint in middle of the day light!). Backgrounds can be overly bright, and shade can be dappled, just not the ideal for stunning portraits of your puppy. 

Instead if you want the dreamiest, warm, happy light then the timeframe of two hours before sunset is when the light will be the best. (It’s called golden hour due to this lovely golden light!). I favor evening golden hour as the light wanes into sunset vs the golden hour of the morning due to the color of the light and geez that sunrise can be EARLY!!!

And if you have the power to… order us up a cloudy day that breaks at sunset into puffy clouds that a bathed in stunning colors… shucks I can’t order that up either!

Does my puppy need to be leashed? 

Yes! If we are somewhere other than your yard and your house, your puppy will need to be leashed during the session. Leashes will always be edited out of your final images so your puppy will look like an off leash superstar!

When is the best time to do a Puppy Series Session?

Today! Tomorrow!!! SOON! Puppies don’t stay wee, cute and puppy sized for very long so we need to take advantage of portraits with them as soon as we can!

• At 2-4 months of age for the first session we could land in a various range of seasons!
• Winter puppies will be photographed inside unless they are 6 months or older. 

Using Blue as an example: Blue was 8 weeks the end of August, he was 6 months just after Christmas and turned a year in June. Your puppy will most likely have two season changes during their 3 puppy sessions! 

Here’s a breakdown of 6 months apart (great if you wanted to know when your pup’s half birthday is too!)

• January – July
• February – August
• March – September
• April – October
• May – November
• June – December
• July – January

How do I book a Puppy Series Session?

Book your session online for the 3x Puppy Series! Or head here for the 2x Puppy Series. This is the fastest way to book! (By the way, the session fee is broken down into payments hence the wonky session fee when you book!)
