Preparing for Your Pet Photography Session
Preparation is critical to a successful photoshoot. Here are a few tips to help you and your pet get ready:
- Grooming: Ensure your pet is well-groomed and clean. A bath and a good brush will help them look their best.
- Exercise: Before the session, exercise can help your pet burn off excess energy, making them more relaxed during the shoot.
- Feeding: Feed your pet a light meal to keep them comfortable, but avoid heavy feeding right before the session to prevent lethargy.
- Favorite Toys and Treats: Bring your pet’s favorite toys and treats to help capture their attention and motivate them.
During the Session
Our pet photography sessions are designed to be fun and flexible, allowing your pet’s true personality to shine through. Here’s what happens during the session:
Warm-Up Time: We’ll start with a few minutes of playtime to help your pet get comfortable with the environment and the camera.
Candid and Posed Shots: We’ll capture a variety of shots, including candid moments that showcase your pet’s natural behavior and posed portraits that highlight their best features.

Patience and Care: We understand that pets can be unpredictable, so we approach each session with patience and care, ensuring your pet feels at ease throughout the shoot.
Duration of the Session
Our pet photography sessions typically last between 30-45 Minutes. This allows plenty of time for your pet to acclimate to the surroundings and for us to capture a wide range of beautiful images without losing the animal's attention.

You can tell the passion and love Michael not only has for the camera but dogs the photos came back and were BEYOND amazing!! I teared up seeing the slideshow reveal. And the sweetest moments captured. I am so grateful I will have these photos for the rest of my and my dogs life.
