Roxy January 19

R is for Roxy. She thinks she's a person much of the time.

.k.a. 'the bitch'. She is usually cooperative and is also very bright. Cooperation was not in her modeling vocabulary today. "Sit, Roxy." She did that just fine. As soon as she saw the camera, she closed her eyes. Tight. She kept them closed - except for some peeking when I said "Biscuit? Mmmmmmm." No biscuit, just the camera. Eyes almost squeezed shut this time. There was no more tricking her with fake biscuits, leash rattling or anything else.
A thank you to Chris for the suggestion.

Donna,

You are right, she is smart. She sees a camera and thinks, "Hmmmm... Camera, Flash, Bright, I'm closing my eyes". She does seem to have an almost serene meditative look on her face.

The lack of cooperation is what makes the photo great, I think. You've captured her personality in the shot :)

What a chuckle I had as I read the story!! Even with eyes closed, this is still a lovely portrait!

What a fun story, Donna. She is a beautiful model and you know that some diva's are bitches, sounds like she knows her stuff!!

Sounds like a real 'bitchy' model Donna. Good details and very creative with the black bg... :)
