Want to take the best snaps of your furry family members? Whether it’s your dog’s wagging tail or your cat’s content purring, knowing how to capture their unique personalities can make all the difference! With a few simple tricks, you’ll be filling your camera roll with heart-melting moments in no time.

Our mate Alex over at Grain & Weave has shared some pawsome tips to help make your next pet photo session fun and stress-free:

As Alex suggests, let them burn off some energy before the camera rolls. A bit of playtime beforehand helps tire them out, so they’ll be more relaxed and cooperative for the shoot.

A good brush and tidy-up goes a long way! Not only will your pet look their best, but grooming helps them feel comfortable and confident – ideal for those model-worthy poses.

Is your pet a bit camera-shy? No worries! Let them sniff around and get used to the camera gear beforehand. This helps prevent any nervous reactions when you start snapping photos.

Brushing up on basic commands like ‘sit’ and ‘stay’ can make a world of difference during a photo session. When your pet listens to your cues, you’ll have a better chance of capturing those perfect, posed moments.

Keep the atmosphere light and fun. Your pet will pick up on your energy, so if you’re relaxed and encouraging, they’ll respond in kind, giving you their best happy face or playful pose.

With these tips, you’ll be ready to capture your pet’s unique personality in all its glory. And if your furry friend is feeling a bit anxious or under the weather, Swift Vets can provide stress-free at-home vet visits, making sure they’re feeling their best before their big photoshoot.
