Jane Jordan’s 5 Tips for a Successful Pet Photoshoot

Are you planning a pet photoshoot for your furry BFF? If so, you’ve come to the right place!

Here are my 5 top tips to a successful Pet Photoshoot….

  • 1. Talk to your pet – The first step to help boost your pet’s confidence and reassure during the photoshoot is talking to them. Talk in soft and low tones, stay close and move slowly so they feel comfortable.
  • 2. Offer rewards – Use treats and other rewards to praise them if they do something correctly. This will help them associate the behaviours you want with a positive reward. 
  • 3. Give them breaks – Take frequent breaks during the photoshoot to help them stay calm and relaxed. If they are getting too stressed, give them some space and let them have a break from the photoshoot.
  • 4. Use calming tactics – Provide your pet with a comforting item to help them stay calm during the photoshoot such as a favourite toy or blanket. You can also use calming tactics such as deep breathing exercises, massage, or playing music to help them relax even more.
  • 5. Be patient – Lastly, be patient! Taking good photos of a pet can take time and effort, so it’s important to remember to remain patient, positive and encouraging throughout the entire process.

Pet photography isn’t just about taking a few cute pics of your beloved pet – it’s about capturing the true spirit and personality of them in a way that you can treasure for a lifetime. A little patience and encouragement will go a long way to achieving those special images.
