Dog Days Shoot: Part-Maltese Mix, "Teddy"

Oh who's this teddy because you look like a little hey where you're so sock did you get your hair done for this so cool how old are you teddy he's have between foreign five you're just happy what was your first name? Rachel rachel rachel in teddy so what we're going to do for a few shots is the two of you together but also teddy my himself okay so I can tell you right now one shot I want to get this would be a great shot of just the um maybe even keeping the leash I kind of like the whole fund shoes fun dress and teddy may be off to the side so that being said I'm just trying to think what we have is options for backgrounds and things that might look nice with this um I mean obviously the one I have up kind of goes with anything I do have a greenish background I'm thinking that might be though that's gonna be classy so I don't think that's probably the best option we may try teddy we could this rug up with just one shot teddy we've got to use something like this you know what? Teddy wi...

ll be great on borns chair way might just do that first so I'm teddy will look fabulous on the orders chair and so I'm not going to do the shot with the feet yet we'll get to that but I'm thinking orange chair and trying to get back up we have have we used this one? No, I don't think I ever use this one so I'm thinking we'll do a couple shots just teddy first in the final his chair in this background is that weren't just kind of ah color into it so that'll be nice and a soon as we're ready way will get a couple people to help pull that wonderful still have a price tag on here there you go oh, you know what other chair do we start that white chair that white hair would be incredible with the two of them together yeah, yeah, that would be gorgeous with ashley and teddy together, so okay, so actually, I'm going to go ahead and have you come around did I say it is actually rachel rachel, I'm so sorry I've been prouder nothing pets like every ten minutes out problem. Rachel okay, so you're gonna come over here and what's going to be great about this? And now is there anything rachel that teddy responds to better than other things that my okay to give him treat your thumbs are better or going well because might be better because treats monty knows they're there okay focus hardly smelling this yeah, so okay, so rachel, what you're going to dio is in teddy is it a boy or girl? It's a boy so teddy seems like he's going to do really wonderful and you don't have to stand right here but I am gonna have you just kind of stand here because you're not in the shot right now you're just going to help help teddy yeah he major poppe I'll do little squeaker yep thrown back out but you need to um I could take that if you offer a second the leash so but you're good on the night john I'm going to actually end up needing another card here looking lower their lower the background lower the background of the background wade got one one at a time one at a time here, folks okay okay uh we're gonna just try that again have any gaffer's tape? I'm just going to tape up the bottom that chair and I love the beat up chair but it's starting to really fall down that damn angle it starts to be but my treat was was it pretty honey you just wanna be with mama hey, hey, way actually got a couple of really nice ones there. You know what? I actually got what I need with that chair. Yeah, but just because if I am at a lower angle it starts to look funny, so um let's go ahead and we're good with that that could go, um so you know I'm good to go back to having to keep the light floor with this wall now and oh I know what we have we can use maybe hopefully it's a big enough piece and we're gonna put the white couch in there but here is um creative live made me a quick little demo of what those floorboards look like that I use and so this is just a scrap piece of wood this wilbur gray for a smaller dog smaller session a kid I do tend to in general if I were going to make one of these probably wanted to be you know, a couple feet longer just because then you khun you know get a fuller length shot without you know shooting off of the trim but I wouldn't have liked the white with the dark floor dark background but right now with the white chair this actually look nice this transition works fine for me because I'm shooting it that it's kind of blurring out the background anyway with this floor but this will just give it more that look up wallpaper um or just you know more like possibly a shot that was taken in a home let's just see see what that's looking like hit his animal nature okay yes let's just do that now before we even go farther yeah great will you come home with me be my face his hip a studio you're awesome. So um um that put it to somewhere where you know where to tell me so I don't like reuse it or something that would be terrible just going to get my card formatted all right so I think what I want to dio right now you know what let's do once one more shot actually this would be the great shot that I want to do with shoes do you think teddy if I give you know he said no necessary no if I gave it to this I'll show you what I want might not leave their side rachel this is one thinking and I mean if you lower the lights a little bit so you'll see I'll make this work if I had a little more florida work with I'd have a little more option to shoot wider but we're gonna make this work so I want to show you guys what I would do so I'm envisioning so one way I can take care of that a little bit it is if rachel stands closer to the background I do have a little more to work with and if she's way far forward you're going to have less less baseboard to work with so I'm envisioning you rachel standing right about here with this line is on the floor and we're gonna just try and if you think it will be better I can give you because it's just gonna be like right about here I don't care what you're doing their hands are so if you having squeakers or treats or anything you think would help or if you want to just first steve teddy teddy will lay between your legs next to your feet we'll just see what we get okay and then we're going to a shot where you're holding them just like that that's really cute um and so let's see if we've got you've got left squeaker just and then once teddy's in position we'll let you know okay I kept hearing you it let's do it I said I might have just caught a really cute one there um so go ahead and collect a moment one more time and I'm afraid if I give you one just gonna be looking up at you I'm assuming or do you want to try having taking one hard like this makes this makes like a little bird noise no that one's not it's cool this one is about acting like this one okay oh you found something out that's why okay you done with us already. Okay, so see eh? You know excited teddy okay, what dog? You know I'm gonna you know I'm a terrible mother mama ball go get it okay try city no that's okay that's okay, because we can even move to the shots with the two of you together as well as I think we got we've got a couple so that might be a better option so let's just okay let's just go and try the two of you alright perfect okay, so what we're gonna do yep. Hey and kind of a hit I need to take two steps towards me yep, I want youto we gotta raise a light up light up okay, perfect so right now this would be I've got you straight at me I actually juanito actually put teddy on your other arm then do the same shot but teddy on your other arm yep.
