    Each dog added to a portrait increases the difficulty

    Unless dogs are trained to sit - which these dogs certainly were not - each dog added to a group makes it harder to get good expressions...

    Bjorne the center dog - was determined to cock his mouth over to the side...

    while I tend to not do portraits with the labs, this is good motivation. Can they teach ours to sit still?

    Cute shot.

    The dogs on the left and right were easy to control while the center dog (his name is Bjorne = Norwegian for "bear") was a real doozy... I plan to do another session - hopefully the little guy will be more cooperative on the second go around...

    I used my new Godox flash with a Li-on battery during this session and the virtually instant recycle was heads and shoulders over my flashes using AA batteries for power...

    Sounds about right when doing group shots of people too. I suspect dogs are easier to train than people....
