Before I return to the regularly scheduled Daily Frolics, I thought I’d introduce the spotted feet from yesterday’s post: Dutch, the camera-shy half of my dynamic duo.
My sweet, doe-eyed Dutchman is a pet photographer’s worst nightmare. He hates cameras as much as his little pug brother loves them – and because cameras have a hard time capturing black and white in the same picture, cameras hate him right back. Dutch is the official face of Frolic for both of these reasons.
He’s single pawed-ly taught me everything there is to know about photographing shy dogs and forced me to get really good at technically challenging exposure problems. Thanks to Dutch, camera-shy dogs don’t have to fear the big black eye of my Nikon… and I know how to photograph a black dog and a white dog in the same body.

Dutch,
You are such an incredibly handsome boy, even if you hate the camera and it hates you back.
Dutch looks amazing in this picture! You totally captured just how delicate the little flower that is Brother Dutch can be. Love him!!
He is a delicate little flower, isn’t he?!?
From one “Dutch” to the other… way to go boy, you look really handsome in this picture!! Yesterday’s feet were great too :)
He’s so gorgeous <3 I have a camera shy beast too. Luckily she's a glutton so I can get a little bit of posing out of her before she cracks the sads!
My husky girl, Kiva, and I met Dutch late one night a couple of years ago on the Dolores Park ridge. I remember him because Kiva’s kousin, the famous dalmation named Stormy, enjoyed a play date with Dutch. He looks great — and your photos are amazing!
