I'm not a big fan of Christmas, but I wanted to make an effort to feel more festive this December. So to get into the spirit of things, I decided to offer Christmas themed shoots for my clients which turned into quite a thing. I ended up with so many ridiculous portraits of dogs wearing tinsel and Christmas headbands, that there was only one thing to do; a parody of the 12 Days of Christmas.
I present to you, the 12 Dogs of Christmas.
Matching up and rhyming words with drumming, piping, and dancing wasn't the easiest of tasks, so with tongue fully in cheek here we go.
