We all know how hard it can be to get our furry family members to behave for a photo session. As photographers that have worked with hundreds of dogs, it is safe to say we've almost seen it all. With a little patience, some practice at home, and these easy tips; your pup will be photo ready in no time!
1. A relaxed dog is a happy dog! If you own a pup with an expendable amount of energy, a quick trip to the dog park or a long walk will go a long way. This will help him/her focus a little better and maybe discourage them from pursuing other interests while posing.
2. Did someone say "treat?" It's hard to get the kids to look at the camera, but what about our four-legged ones? If you know what catches your pup's attention, be sure to bring that along to your photo session! A special toy or treat is a great tool for us to hold above our cameras to assure your dog is looking towards the lens and focusing on us.
3. Mastering basic commands. If your dog understands basic commands such as "sit" and "stay," they are well on the way to being a star of some great family photos. When our assistants can hold your dog's attention while sitting nicely, it gives the rest of the family time to get set and focus on their smiles.
Don't forget to join us for the May the Dogs Be With You Festival where you can put your dog's modeling skills to the test! Come visit us on May 5th at Firefly Distillery and Deep Water Vineyard to enter your dog in for the Lowcountry Dog Magazine Cover Contest!
