DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
You blank on poses the moment the session starts.
You've got the skills. But when the dog is in front of you and the owner is watching, your brain goes completely empty. These cards give you a starting point so you can stop improvising and start directing.
The owner jumps into the frame and you panic. 

Photographing a dog alone is one thing. Add a human and suddenly nothing looks natural. Three of these ten poses are specifically for dogs and their people — so you can handle that moment with confidence.
You worry your clients can see you figuring it out. 

That feeling of winging it shows up in your energy, and clients pick up on it. When you have a clear starting point, you look — and feel — like the professional you actually are.
What photographers are saying:
Nicole's new dog posing guide is brilliant! I wish I had this when I started my dog photography journey because I know it would have helped ease my nerves during a session while I tried to remember all of the poses. This quick reference guide includes tips about lenses, angles, backgrounds, and I especially love the poses that include the dog parents! There are so many examples, even after years of being a dog photographer, I know I'll be using Nicole's posing guide frequently. It's simply a must have resource for any dog photographer. Thanks, Nicole!

Nicole has simplified posing pets with their people with understandable and easy to replicate directions that help me communicate a variety poses to my clients. No more awkward and uncomfortable poses that simply don’t look right; with the visual examples provided as well, I don’t have to second guess or struggle to convey what I’d like my clients to do. Truly brilliant!

The new posing guide is absolutely PERFECT to have on hand during my sessions! It makes it so easy to add more variety to my session galleries, which gives my clients more images that they can’t wait to purchase!

Hi, I'm Nicole.
Dog photographer. Master photographer. Zoological animal trainer. World traveler. Chocolate martini connoisseur.
I've spent 15+ years photographing dogs and teaching other photographers how to do the same. During that time, I've trained over 2,000 pet photographers through Hair of the Dog Academy, spoken at ImagingUSA, ClickAway, and Shutterhound, and led workshops in New Zealand, Iceland, and Costa Rica.
These 10 poses are the ones I actually use, session after session. They work on dogs who won't cooperate, owners who feel awkward, and locations that aren't cooperating either.
