But just how do you get that ‘perfect’ picture?

First, know that taking great dog pictures of your miniature schnauzer, isn’t going to be easy. I'm sure he's far more interested in chasing squirrels - then sitting pretty for the camera.
So what’s a parent to do?
Pet Photography Tips - Getting That Winning Photo!
by Sheltieboy@Flickr - Know Your Mini - You know your schnauzer better than anyone – his funny habits, moods, likes, dislikes… so you'll know the best times to photograph him.
But you will have to be patient. Never force your mini to remain in a pose or wear uncomfortable clothing etc.. This especially rings true in the beginning stages of photography. Allow your schnauzer to have fun while you practice photographing him. Get lots of your miniature schnauzer pictures during his play time, while he’s napping, or gnawing on his favorite chew toy. This will be good practice for both of you and he will learn not to fear the camera.
- Go Digital – Investing a little money into a digital camera
 is well worth it. You can buy a digital camera for less than $100.  The benefits of a digital camera are many – but most importantly - you don’t have to wait to see if you ‘got the picture’. tip: Make sure you have plenty of film (traditional cameras), batteries charged, and space on your memory card (digital cameras).
- Be Camera Ready – You never know when your mini is going to do that amazing or adorable act - So be prepared.
Have your camera in a handy location so you can get to it ‘in a flash’. This will help ensure you don’t miss the moment! Also, take it with you on trips, hikes, visits to the dog park, and even when you’re out in the back yard – just playing around with your mini.
by Sheltieboy@Flickr - Natural Light is Best – You will take some beautiful miniature schnauzer pictures in natural light. Whether you're outside or inside (just open your curtains or blinds) – taking pictures with natural light offers lots of benefits.
Pictures taken in natural light always appear softer plus you prevent the ‘red-eye’ (or in this case, the ‘blue-eye’) from occurring. Also, most dogs – once they experience the ‘flash’ – refuse to ever look into the camera again. So if you don’t have to use the flash – don’t. Your miniature schnauzer will learn to be comfortable with the camera and give you lots of adorable expressions.
- Get Close & Get Down - The biggest mistake people make when taking dog pictures is they have too much background in their pictures and the angle is all wrong.
To get some really great miniature schnauzer pictures, get as close as possible and get down on their level. You might get a little dirty - but you'll get a great photo! tip: If you want to include some background scenery - make sure there are no unwanted items in your frame before taking the picture.

- Talk & Treat - Try using 'baby talk', or some of your dog's favorite phrases: "Do you want a cookie?", or just make some funny noises - to get all kinds of wonderful expressions.
Also, keep a handful of tiny treats, in your pocket, to encourage your mini to perform for you, as well.
- Brag About It – Once you get those dog pictures taken - show them off. Put together scrapbooks and photo albums
 of your mini. Have your favorite photo turned into a fun piece of dog art. Make greeting cards , email family & friends photos, and enter our dog contests, too! Who knows? You might just have that winning photo! The possibilities are endless!
So what are you waiting for? Grab the camera - Get your mini and.........
Ready... Aim ... Freeze Frame!
