I'm more of a nature and landscape photographer, but I sometimes try to see what I can do with people and animals. My son and my husband were having a really nice moment, and I thought it would make a nice family picture and be really sweet. I started taking them and was checking out the lighting. Then the dog realized I had the camera. It's amazing to me how much she likes to be in the picture. I asked my husband to make her go away. He assured me that it would be good practice to have her in the picture. I assured him that it's really hard to get good pictures of people and animals.
So, here's the proof that it's really hard to take pictures of animals and people at the same time. The very first picture the dog appears doing the fake school smile thing. It was a great laugh to see her like that after the discussion my husband and I had.
