Tips to Prepare for your Pet’s Portrait

The key to a successful, memorable pet portrait is to have your pet be comfortable and calm when we are shooting. Follow these tips to prepare your pet:

• Be sure to bring toys, squeaky toys and treats that will get your pet’s attention. It’s best that your pet not know that you have treats with you.
• Bring a leash for your pet.
• You are encouraged to bring a special collar, clothing, bed or other favorite items.
• Exercise your pet appropriately an hour or less prior to the portrait session. This helps to calm your pet during the photo shoot.
• If desired, have your pet groomed the day of or day before the portrait session.
• Keep in mind that we may photograph you with your pet. Dress appropriately.
