Secret:
Sari didn't formally pose.

Out of curiosity, she merely wandered into a set up that I was doing for a different dog's photo shoot. As a result, I took advantage of this most opportune moment. But I had to be very quick.

Even so, I believe a nice candid (not posed) portrait is good, too... IMHO, this is a good addition to the themed gallery.

Most all my photos of Sari - over the years - have been "candids"; even my few studio shots of her. Although affectionate and very devoted, Sari is also very independent minded when it comes to this modeling stuff. It's just not her thing. As I mentioned earlier, Sari normally won't hold still if asked to pose for a photo. Even so, I have still been able to some nice shots of her during her lifetime. It just takes some effort. Doubly so because she's extremely small; plus black and a light color mixed. Good exposures can be difficult.
