How to Prepare for Your Pet Portrait Session

We’re excited to capture the unique personality of your furry friend! To ensure the best possible experience and photos, here are a few tips to help you and your pet get ready for the big day:

1. Grooming & Hygiene:

- Give your pet a bath a day or two before the session to ensure their coat is clean and shiny. Brush their fur thoroughly to remove any loose hair and tangles. Trim their nails and clean their ears, so they look their best.

2. Exercise Beforehand:

- Take your pet for a walk or engage in playtime before the session to help burn off excess energy. A tired pet is more likely to be calm and cooperative during the shoot.

3. Bring Their Favorite Treats & Toys:

- Pack some of your pet’s favorite treats to reward them for good behavior and to capture their attention.

- Bring a few toys that your pet loves. These can help them feel more comfortable and can be used as props during the session.

4. Practice Basic Commands:

- If your pet knows basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come,” practice these before the session. These commands will help during the photoshoot to get the perfect shot.

5. Choose the Right Collar & Leash:

- Opt for a clean, simple collar and leash that won’t distract from your pet’s natural beauty. Consider coordinating the colors with your home decor if you plan to display the portraits.

6. Plan for Comfort:

- Bring along a blanket, bed, or any comfort item your pet loves. This can help them feel at ease, especially in a new environment.

7. Relax and Be Patient:

- Pets can pick up on our emotions, so stay relaxed and patient. If your pet senses you’re calm, they’re more likely to feel at ease and cooperate.

8. Communicate Any Special Requests:

- Let us know if there are specific poses, props, or themes you’d like to include in your session. We want to make this experience special for you and your pet. 

9. Arrival:

- Arrive a few minutes early to give your pet time to settle into the environment before we begin.

We can’t wait to capture the joy and love that your pet brings to your life. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. See you at the session!
