I think you've disproved your own theory about the difficulty of photographing black poodles; your pictures are wonderful!! And the red patterned sofa is the perfect background to showcase your little black beauty. Lola looks so angelic, she has the sweetest face!!

I will sympathize with you. I have a black poodle and it is tremendously difficult. If I get a good picture showing his coloring, the picture itself is crummy. If I get a good picture, his coloring is all wrong. He often looks like a blue standard poodle in pictures (the camera grays him out).
Things I have learned:

take the pic with a dark background- the camera gets confused with a light one and the dog looks like a black blob

turn the exposure up on the camera

use a flash indoors (this gets the best hair coloring, but then you get glowing eyes).

Make use of the tweeking software in the computer. Outlook has a simple one and Windows Live is also very simple to use. They don't do a lot of things like photoshop does, but you can usually almost correct the color by increasing the contrast and decreasing the brightness.

It's a problem to get a picture of my light colored poodle with my black one, too.
