What a sweet relationship between the puppies and our nanny dogs!
What a blast! So thankful for all these great young helpers! Puppy pictures aren’t as simple as pulling out a camera and capturing the cuteness in front of you. Unfortunately, newborn puppies are inherently both messy and delicate, which means the photo-shoot process begins long before the actual session!
First, the puppies must be recently fed, but not so recently that they will need to eliminate. And after their mom has stimulated them to eliminate (🤢) they often needs their tiny nails cleaned of gunk and dirt.
Next, the light box needs to be set up and warmed. This usually means at least one heating mat laid over the place where the puppies will be.
Most mom dogs will need to be distracted with an activity outside while we take pictures, since they can be distressed when their puppies are taken out of the whelping box. Thankfully, Rocket is cautious but trusting!
After assembling the puppies in the light box, it’s quite an art form to move them into place gently enough that they stay asleep without disturbing any of their sleeping siblings! Sometimes, we hold another heat mat over their backs to help them warm up and fall asleep. All the while, the photographer is taking every opportunity to catch a moment when they are lined up nicely and being still!
All in all, a few good photographs where 75% or more of the puppies are facing the same direction is a 2-hour process from start to finish!
