Pet Photography and Dog Models: Bebe

My second adorable KO Couture dog model is Bebe from www.obsessivechihuahuadisorder.com.  She is a 2.5 lb long hair Chihuahua and lives with her three Chihuahua brothers who love to model as well.  This tiny princess has made a HUGE impact on the pet fashion industry and has been featured in print and online ads all over the world!  Some examples include Bella Dog Magazine, Pet Product News, Pet Style News, Dogs 101 and many, many more!

This tiny princess is amazingly talented!  This is one of my favorite Bebe pictures ever (photos taken by her photographer mom Nikki Figular):

Platinum Princess Feather Harness Dog Dress $350


                                                Breast Cancer Bites Tutu Harness Dress $75


This is Bebe's famous "over the shoulder" pose.  All aspiring dog models should try and master this pose.  It is a great way to showing off the product their wearing as well as capturing their cute little face!



Want to see more of Bebe?  Stay tuned!  Bebe will be modeling my newest Holiday and Christmas Dog Dresses!  Make sure to follow her blog at www.obsessivechihuahuadisorder.com.

Pet Photography & Dog Models - Trixie

Nothing sells pet apparel better than a professional photo of a cute pup!  Capturing the perfect picture is not an easy task.  It involves patience from both the photographer and the dog, talent, training...as well as a lot of treats!  I have had the pleasure of working with some of the countries most talented canine models and would like to introduce you to a few of my favorites.  These little furry pin-ups really know how to work it! 

Model #1
Meet Trixie.  She is a beautiful Italian Greyhound (aka Iggy) and the "cover girl" for the KO Couture brand.  With her broad chest and long muscular legs, she fits perfect into the modeling role.  Last year, I was lucky enough to be able to watch one of her photo sessions with her AMAZING photographer Nicole Geller!  They worked so well together, it was like watching a well choreographed dance.  Trixie's mom would help her put on her KO Couture, she would dance around in excitement for a moment, then she would assume her first pose.  Nicole would snap a few shots and Trixie was onto her next pose!  If she did ever happen to get distracted, a quick squeeze of a whoopie cushion (pffffft) and she was back at attention! 

Here are a couple of my favorite photos by Nicole Geller Photography (http://nicolegellerphotography.com/):







I hope you enjoyed meeting Trixie!  Make sure to check back in tomorrow to meet our next furry fashionista!
