How to prepare for a pet photo session

For many people, pets are furry members of the family. It comes as no surprise that they want to include their pets in their pet photo session. Including your pets in your photo session does require a little extra preparation but it is certainly doable.

Below are a few tips to prepare you for your photo session with your pet. Sydney pet photographer, Sydney pet photography, dog photography, dog photographer, John Dowling, dog names, Sydney Pet Photos, action photography, rescue dog, pet photo session

 

To make this work, you will need to get your pet to sit still and behave. Pets can get very excited when new people are around so let your pet become acquainted with your photographer beforehand. Bring treats and toys that your pet enjoys so that you have something to use to grab their attention if necessary.  Sydney pet photographer, Sydney pet photography, dog photography, dog photographer, John Dowling, dog names, Sydney Pet Photos, action photography, dog agility, agile dogs,, dogs swimming, swim, swimming, dog swim, Pet photo session

 

Keep a leash or harness ready, just in case. Even though your pet might be well trained, it never hurts to be prepared. You may also want to arrange your poses so you can hold onto your pet securely without it looking like you are hanging on for dear life. Your photographer will help you with this.  Adopt dog, Sydney pet photographer, Sydney pet photography, dog photography, dog photographer, John Dowling,dog names, Pet photo session

If you know that your pet photo session is going to take some time, give your pets the chance to take breaks, walk around and drink water. You won’t be able to force a pet to sit still if they are thirsty or agitated.  Sydney pet photographer, Sydney pet photography, dog photography, dog photographer, John Dowling,dog names, Sydney Pet Photos, Pet photo session

As a pet owner, you probably know how perceptive your animals are to energy and emotions, so it’s important that you are relaxed when you get to your pet photo session. If you really want to keep your pets relaxed too, try and arrange your photo session in a place where your pet will feel most comfortable such as your garden or a park.  Sydney pet photographer, Sydney pet photography, dog photography, dog photographer, John Dowling,dog names, Sydney Pet Photos, Pet photo session

For the best results, try and work with a photographer that has previously worked with animals. This will help make the process of photographing your pets even more enjoyable.
