Do an Easter Photoshoot with your pup!
There is nothing cuter than showing off your dog in bunny ears and among pastel eggs and blooming flowers. A photo shoot is also a perfect activity for any weather since you can do it at home – inside or in your backyard. Most people will opt for an indoor photoshoot because it is more controlled than out. Outside might introduce weather elements, such as wind and rain, as well as be distracting to your dog, who might prefer to roll in the grass rather than sit still for the camera. Getting started is pretty easy because you will most likely have many of the items already on hand. A pastel sheet makes for a perfect backdrop, but a tablecloth will also do. A few Easter decorations including a basket, grass, and eggs are good props for this activity. If your dog tolerates wearing bunny ears or a costume for the photo shoot, go for it. Finally, you will also need a camera. Most people use their mobile phone cameras but any camera, including the disposable kind, will work perfectly for this activity.
STEP 1 Create your scene The first step is one of the most fun for people. Start by gathering the items you want to use for your photo shoot. You can use any springtime themed items to get going. Lay your pastel sheet on the floor and draw half of it up. You can secure the backdrop onto chairs using rubber bands or string. Add some folds or wrinkles to the backdrop to give it depth. During this step, you will also set up your props, such as Easter baskets and stuffed animals.
STEP 2 Grab your dog After you have set up your scene, envision where your dog will sit in it. This is also the time you to dress your dog in their costume. If you are using a headband, you can wait until your dog is sitting or laying on the scene to put the bunny ears on them. Get your dog to come on to the sheet and gently pose them where you want them. Dog treats will help with this step. Many dogs will not keep interested in this activity for too long so ask a friend to help you. One of you can pose your dog, and the other can be ready with the camera for quick shots.
STEP 3 Final photo edits Take lots of photos, as many as your dog will tolerate before they decide to do something else. Remember, this is more of a human activity that includes your dog that a dog activity that includes you. If your dog is showing signs of fatigue during the photo shoot, let them do something else. Hopefully, you will have a good number of photos. If they are digital, you can quickly flip through them and touch them up with special filters, stickers, and borders. After editing, send them out to your friends and family as an Easter photo from the two of you!
