Two Dogs, One Child and one more on the way?! (Photo How-To)

A couple months ago, my wife Montanna and I announced that we were expecting a little boy to be born in March. So of course, being a photographer, I knew I had to announce my new baby through photography some how. Montanna and I brainstormed and decided to go with using a letter board, my step-son Remi, and the kicker, my two dogs in one image! Sounds crazy impossible right? I mean it’s shaping up to be the perfect storm for a meltdown and two lost dogs. Spoiler alert, we didn’t have any meltdowns and the dogs did much better than expected. Seriously, I knocked out making the photo in no less than 10 minutes. I’ll post the original image first, followed by the three unedited, straight out of the camera frames I used to make the one image. Yes, you read that right, I used three images to make the actual final image for our baby announcement. So enjoy this little glimpse into how our special image was produced.
