Dog Model at #Petsmart!

Jasmine is a Petsmart model!!

My friend Maria was on the Petsmart website and found another outfit that Jasmine was modeling!  (That they recently added!)   Good thing I have friends looking out for me!!  :)   Otherwise, I would have missed it!

I think this one turned out so cute!  Pink is definitely Jaz's color! 

Jasmine did this photoshoot with Petsmart last month, but I never know when the pictures are going to come out.   So it's a fun surprise whenever it happens!  When we did the photoshoot, Jasmine modeled about 15 different outfits.... so hopefully there will be more fun pics coming out over the next few months!  :)   Two posted so far.... and more to come!

  (If you happen to see pics of Jaz somewhere, please let me know on Jasmine's Facebook page!!)  :D    

Jasmine's latest photoshoot- Car Seat Covers!

So... Fun News!

Jaz did a product photoshoot for Petsmart!

Sometime in the Spring-Summer of 2013, keep an eye out for some cream colored car seat covers with Jasmine's picture on the package!

I didn't get any photos behind-the-scenes during the shoot because I was too busy being the trainer.  

I think I need to get an assistant to come with me so THEY can take the behind-the-scene pics!

For the photoshoot, we traveled about a 1/2 hour to a small photography studio.  The company literally had somehow gotten a white SUV inside this small room.  Jaz was sitting on the passenger side seat (the door was open, with the window rolled down).  

The photographer was taking pictures through the window, and I was standing behind her holding treats over her head.  You get pretty cozy at these things!   I spent my time holding up turkey and telling Jaz: "Look, Look.  Staaaay.  Good Girrrrrlllll."   It's a hard job, but somebody's got to do it.    ;)

Jaz did super good!  I was expecting to be there an hour for the shoot, but we were done in about 20 minutes.  That included repositioning for multiple poses and breaks to change stuff about the car.   So... piece of cake!

I'll let you know when it comes out.  (Or someone let me know if you see Jasmine's picture on a package of car seat covers!!)

Since I didn't have any behind-the-scenes pics, I just included pics from other photoshoots that Jasmine has done.   I think they're cute. 
 (But I know I'm kind of biased!!)  ;)

 

Jaz modeling for a photoshoot

 You don't need a big photo shoot set when you're taking pics of a little dog!

Last week, I took Jasmine to a photoshoot.  (Not for any company or brand, just for me.)    :)

The photographer told me she was easier to work with than human clients!  LOL

Yes, these backgrounds look like they are from the 70's... but I still like the pics of Jaz.

I tried to get a "slam dunk" action shot, (with the ball falling through the hoop), but we could never get the timing right.  This is as close as we got.

I wanted to get a shot of Jaz with a "Thank You" sign- to thank all of our friends who have supported us along this journey!  (And of course, a pic with the shopping cart, since Jaz is most well-known for her "Dog Goes Shopping" video.

I bought actual prints of this one.  I thought it turned out cute.

Hello Toto!

Jasmine doesn't mind bath time if there's not actual water involved!!  ;)

So... those are my pics from the photoshoot.  The portrait studio was originally having a "pet portrait" special, but that was only for one pose.  How do you pick just one??  ;)

Calendar Dog!! :) The Chosen One! ;)

I just got an email from the publisher's of the Page-A-Day calendars.   Jasmine's picture is going to be featured in the 2014 calendar!!  :)  :)   That's a long time to wait!!   But it will be a fun surprise for me... because chances are good I'll have forgotten about it by 2014.  Then one day I'll receive a fun package in the mail with a calendar in it!! 


How do I know this will happen??   Because that's what happened this year!!!   Jasmine is also featured in this year's Page-A-Day "365 Dogs" calendar!!  (A picture of her sitting pretty is on Nov. 17, 2012.)  
I entered a full year before, and I forgot all about it until I got the calendar in the mail with a letter telling me congratulations!!  LOL.

By the way, if you want to submit a picture for consideration, here's the link:  http://www.pageaday.com/pub-bin/dogcontestsreg.pl


They will email you if your picture gets picked.  Don't worry if you don't hear back from them right away.  I can't even remember when I submitted this picture to them, but I know it was months ago!  So... be patient!  They like unusal photos, holiday photos, or photos in really scenic places.

Have fun!  :)
