PET PHOTOSHOOT PREPARATION GUIDE
Simple Tips for a Stress-Free Pet Photography Session
A relaxed pet makes for beautiful portraits. This guide shares how to prepare your furry companion (and yourself) for a calm, enjoyable studio experience that captures their true personality and charm.
BEFORE YOUR SESSION
Grooming and Hygiene
Brush your pet the day before your session to remove loose fur and enhance their coat’s natural shine.
Clean eyes and paws gently to avoid tear marks or mud spots that can distract from their expression.
Trim nails or claws if needed — not only for neatness but also for their comfort during posing.
Bring a lint roller for quick touch-ups, especially if you’re wearing dark clothing.
Comfort and Routine
Keep your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and play schedule intact so they arrive content and relaxed. A short walk or light playtime beforehand can help release energy.
Pack essentials:
A small water bowl and treats for reward breaks.
Their favourite toy or blanket for reassurance.
Waste bags or wipes for quick clean-ups if needed.
WHAT TO WEAR (FOR YOU)
Coordinating with Your Pet
Wear black or neutral tones — this timeless look ensures your connection takes centre stage.
Avoid busy patterns or shiny fabrics that might reflect light.
Keep jewellery minimal and let emotion, not accessories, tell the story.

ON THE DAY OF YOUR SESSION
Keeping Calm and Focused
Your mood sets the tone. Pets sense our emotions, so arrive early, stay patient, and trust the process. I’ll guide every moment with calm direction to help your pet feel safe and confident.
Small details make big differences:
Bring a brush or comb for quick touch-ups between shots.
Keep a few treats in your pocket for focus and motivation.
Let your pet’s personality lead — playfulness, stillness, curiosity — all create authentic portraits.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER
Choosing Your Artwork
After your session, you’ll enjoy a relaxed artwork selection appointment where we’ll review your portraits together.
You’ll have the opportunity to select your favourite images to be transformed into museum-quality prints, albums, or framed wall art — each crafted to last a lifetime.
