Although I love photos of dogs enjoying the snow, sometimes it is just too cold to be outside. Studio photography is a great option when the weather isn’t cooperative. Puppies grow up so fast, so I love it when people decide to have a professional dog photographer document puppyhood. Luciana Calvin sent in these photos of Hazel, the adorable Cavalier-Poodle puppy. Since puppies are so energetic, studio photography is often the best way to get adorable photos. If you’ve ever tried to photograph a puppy, then you know how big of a challenge it can be. 
From Luciana: “I almost forgot how crazy life can become with a brand new puppy. My friends Ana and Dina recently found that out probably five minutes after their new puppy arrived.
Hazel, the puppy ‘nut’ as I call her, is a pile of energy as any new healthy puppy can be. She runs around nonstop, looking for new things to play or chew on. Remember that commercial with the Duracell bunny? Yeah, that pretty much describes Hazel-nut!
Adjusting to a new pet can be challenging, it requires a lot of discipline and consistent training to make sure the puppy grows up to become a well behaved and adjusted dog. They can be like toddlers requiring a lot of attention, but they will reward you with the most beautiful feelings you can experience unconditional love. That is priceless, and I wish everyone have the opportunity at some point in their lives to experience that.”
From Dina: “The minute I laid eyes on Hazel, she brought an instant calm to my life. She is the true definition of unconditional love.“
From Ana: “Our little Hazel changed everything for us. The routine is now around her, and we love that she is part of our lives. It is amazing how an animal can teach us so much in so little time. She gives us unconditional love regardless. Coming home to that little wagging tail and butt is the most precious thing. I am very happy we got her, she loves everyone and loves playing with her toys. Hazelnut is the best!“

Oh my gosh! I am obsessed with this shoot! This little puppy is so cute! I absolutely agree about how llceasy life can be with a new puppy, but it’s so worth it!
These are so stinkin’ cute! I love the fluffiness . . . and the cute headpieces! I’m so glad the owners love her. 🙂
Oh. My. Gosh. This dog is sooooooo cute! I want it so badly!
Hazel’s shoot is too cute! I love that her photos are styled after a newborns… I wish I had done this when Anzu, my Shiba Inu, was first a pup!
Oh my gosh, these are so cute! I love the style so much, and that one of Hazel in the toy box with the teddy bears is a dream. Adorable!
Well now isn’t she just the cutest thing you ever saw. Love all the photos
That is the cutest dog I think I have ever seen. Oh my gosh it’s gorgeous. I think I need a dog just like that. Those pictures are beautiful.
Oh my gosh! That pup is the cutest. She looks so fluffy and cuddly. Just too cute.
How sweet! This is such a precious puppy. My daughter wishes she could have one. I really wish I could convince my cats to do a photoshoot.
So freaking precious!!
Oh my goodness, I could snuggle with little Hazel all day. The photo with her wearing the hair clip is my favorite!
These photos are beautiful! Such an adorable puppy! They can add even more happiness to a home and bring so much joy. Thanks for sharing this.
These are such cute photos! If we ever have another puppy, you’ve inspired me to do a photo shoot.
This photo shoot is so gorgeous. I can’t even decide which photo is my favorite.
This is soooo adorable! What a perfect model! I could never get my cats to do that 😉
I have a cavashon, a cavalier/bichon mix. Cavaliers make a gorgeous dog!
I can’t even deal with how cute this whole photoshoot is. Our new puppy is too big to do these kinds of pictures with. Boo!
What a precious puppy. She literally looks like she could be in a stuffed animal display at a store instead of a real live cavalier poodle. What a cutie.
This little pup is so adorable! I’d never heard of this specific breed of poodle. Just a cutie!
OMG, can I adopt Hazel. Gosh, I fell in love. What stunning portraits as well. Can I take her home now? C U T E .

This is too cute. A friend recently picked up a poodle. These poses show the pup’s personality
OMG! He’s so cute! I have two pups and I love them to pieces! Those pictures are amazing!
Oh, Hazel is so adorable! Growing up, my mom always had Poodles, and she always talked about wanting an apricot-colored one. She would have loved Hazel! The portraits are absolutely gorgeous!
