Our family pet, a Kairn Terrier (like Toto from the Wizard of Oz) was getting jealous of us photographing other dogs, so we had to bring him to the studio for his model session.

He did very well in front of the camera. The only problem that we had was that he would not smile for us on command. My fellow photographers have commented that getting their children to pose for their portraits is difficult because they use them so often as models – as we do with our children, but I did not know that this would also be an issue with our family pet.
