Monday Mischief: Fall Photo Shoot

We've had quite a few rainy, dreary days here lately... so when we had a little bit of dry weather on Saturday, I did some bribing got the dogs outside to pose for some fall photos! 

Now, when it comes to getting four furkids in one photo, the trick is to pray snap as many photos as possible... and hope you wind up with at least one shot in focus, with four dogs who are looking in relatively the same direction.  Eyes open and cute expressions are a bonus!

I always end up capturing a few where someone is getting up / moving around /running out of a shot...

Which then results in some that look like this...

Zeus is always Mr. Independent, and more often than not the missing 4th wheel in many shots.  Of course, he knows just how handsome he is all on his own.  I love the second shot below, where I caught him spying on his siblings as they were cooperating for Mommy posing for the camera.

Of course, we don't always need all four kids in the shot to get cute photos, right?

The end result was a good one this weekend.  I actually ended up with a solid 8 or 9 good shots of my kids together... success! 

So, I suppose my Lapdogs were pretty good, and not so mischievous this weekend.  At least not when it came to their photo shoot... be annoying to the humans while they were trying to watch TV is another story. 

The Lapdogs wanted everyone to know that today is their Grammy's birthday and they hope you will all wish her a very happy one!

That's my Mom on the left in the second shot of our parents enjoying an early fall day at the apple orchard last month... Happy Birthday Mom!
