Beautify your pet

Before anyone gets in front of the camera, they always get a little spruced up. The same is true for our pups! They want to look their absolute best for their glamour shots. I suggest grooming for my long and curly haired friends, and a simple bath for the short haired pups a day or more before the shoot. Avoid grooming the day of the session as it can be a little too much for one day. For doodle breeds specifically, I recommend having the groomer trim around the eyes and the top of the muzzle so the sparkle isn't hidden behind long bangs and super fluff!

A tired dog is a Good Dog

Photo sessions are very exciting! There are treats and toys and sunshine, hopefully. All this stimulation can be overwhelming for dogs. Even more so if they haven't been exercised. I highly recommend taking high energy dogs for a long walk, to the park before we meet. That way, when they arrive for their session, they are (potentially!) cooler, calmer and more collected.

Feeding Suggestions

During sessions I tend to only use treats at the end of the shoot to get your dog's attention. Sometimes a ball or favourite toy can help. Also, If your pup has dietary restrictions, please let me know in advance. You can bring along approved treats or even a bunch of their dog kibble. The more amazing the treat, the more effective the results.
