I did the first photo shoot of the year today. Could have been better (not enough natural light to work with!) but it'll do.

Meghan and Willa are naturals, they did very well on their first ever photo shoot. The worst behaved was Dexter, out of 40 pictures we only got two that were remotely passable!
 
aww,you can tell dexter's a cheeky chappy! i want to piggy nap saffron and willa, they're just too cute! they're all lovely piggies xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
They are amazing phoot's. You are so talented. You would think taking photo's was easy but all mine turn out horrible. Love the back ground you have them on. I might try it something like your's and then show you what mine turn out like!
 
Ah Laura they are all so beautiful! Franklyn has a cheekiest face! and Gwenivere, is she a shelte? she looks like my Sunny! Beautiful photos of beautiful piggies!
 
Thanks Claire, Sue and Fi. :)

Gwenivere has mid-length hair, so is probably a cross between sheltie and american. She has the long hair behind the ears and on her bum, but it's a mid-length everywhere else. Some of the other photos I have of Gwen during todays shoot, she looks just like a sheltie.

Sue, it took 200 photos to get just 2-5 decent ones of each pig. You should see the pics from my first ever piggie photo shoot - they were awful! Keep practicing, and you'll learn the way your pigs behave during a photo shoot. Once you know how they behave and act when having their pics took in a little "studio" set up, you can generally work out what to do to get them to sit still and pose a little. Of course you do still get some pigs who refuse to accept the veggie bribes and your pleas to "just sit still for one minute!"...

I also now officially hate my camera and seriously need an upgrade (I am using a 5 year old Olympus, 3 megapixels....I dream of what kind of photos an 8 megapixel camera would take!). I'm hoping to save for a DSLR, but even a £50 compact would be better than what I have got!
 
Aw they are beautiful^)^) lovely names too! I wish mine were so well behaved when the camera was out... they behave like your Dexter;):))
 
I mostly cheat and take pics of them in their cage or on my lap, I just have visions of them darting off everywhere if I tried the "studio" type photo :))
 
I'm in love with Franklyn...x)x)x)x)x)
 
aww they are all gorgeous and the photos are great! dont think id ever manage to get mine to sit still in a "studio" type setting! I always catch them in their cage or run!
 
Wonderful photos and great to keep and treasure!

I am in love with Willamina ... she looks really cheeky! xx>>>
 
Love Franklyn's piggy lips! They are all gorgeous. You are so lucky to have them!
 
Aw, they are gorgeous pictures of them. Really good picture quality. I really must try to work out to use my camera properly - I never get good photos with it or when I use my phone camera.
 
I thought willamina just looked so cute, and looked like farmer so i gave him/her a farmers hat :)

Thanks for all your comments. :)
Willa is a little sweetheart. She is currently living with Jasmine and they get on very well. Franklyn is as cheeky and outgoing as he looks, and he is currently living with Meghan; those two get on well, but Meghan suddenly took against Jasmine and I had to split the group up. Meg got what she wanted, her man all to herself. rolleyes

I will get a few more pics uploaded, some different angles of the piggies from this photo shoot.
 
I'm with Dexter on this one - I hate having my photo taken too . :(|)

Great pigtures though - really clear with great colour. Makes a difference when the light is good but these are lovely ............and fabulous piggies too .

Franklyn is a natural too I would guess
 
Got some group photos also to share...

I finally got everybody settled into groups. Jasmine and Willa went in with Dexter and his three women and are in a 3x5 section; Meg and Frank are in a 3x2.

Can't imagine how you had the patience to get the group shot - amazing!
