Pet & Puppy
Your pet is just as much a part of the
family as your children or partner.
To make the most of a professional pet
photo shoot, it's important to get ready.
So use these tips to prepare.
Be honest. Let your photographer know about your pet's temperament, especially if he's aggressive toward new people. That way your photographer will be able to prepare accordingly.
Grooming. To make sure your pet looks his best, either give him a bath or take him to the groomer. Be sure to do that two days before the photo shoot. That will give the pet's hair some time to settle in place so he'll look his best.
Day of the dog photo shoot.
Walk your dog. About an hour before the dog photo shoot, it's a good idea to take a walk to burn off some pent-up energy. This will help make your dog more relaxed and photogenic.
Treats. If your pet is food motivated, consider bringing some along. But be cautious about using them. Some dogs become fixated on the treats and that can make the photos look unnatural and unfocused. It also can make your dog drool. Instead, consider bringing a toy your pup likes to play with.
Don't feed your dog. If your dog is hungry, she's more likely to be alert and willing to focus. If you feed your dog first, you may end up with a sluggish dog who just wants to curl up for a nap. And, if you don't feed your dog first, a food-motivated dog is more likely to respond to treats.
Have fun!!!!
