Capturing your pet's personality in a portrait is a gift; and a gift your family will treasure for years to come. Those of you who have a dog or cat or horse will identify with this comment from Accent Photography of Minneapolis, Minnesota. "I know your animal is more that just a pet, but a member of your family." Your pet is like one of your kids. People very often celebrate their pet's birthday, give them gifts at Christmas, and grieve them when they die. A pet portrait will remind you of all the fun time you share and the bond you have. "From dogs to fish and everything in between, the staff at Accent Photography will ensure you that the pet portraits taken will unleash the love you have for your pet."
As all pet owners know, pets do not always do what we want them to do. Pets don't realize what you're doing when you're trying to take their photo. Here are some things to be aware of when having your animal photographed.
Do they use natural light and go outside? Avoid flash as this can startle
the animal as well as cause red eye.
Do they focus on the eyes? As it is said, "eyes are the windows to the
soul"
Do they make your pet feel at ease? Animals can tell when someone likes
animals and when they don't. Make sure the person taking the photo likes
animals; it will make all the difference in the world. Get someone with
experience.
Can they capture your pet's personality? Not everyone can do this.
"Being able to capture that personality in your pet portraits is a specialty I
am proud to have mastered," says the staff at Accent Photography. "I take
the time to photograph your pet in a way that demonstrates the bond and
love you share with them."
Do they take close up shots?
Will they schedule your session based on the type of picture you want? If
you desire a formal picture, schedule the session when your pet just wakes
up or is tired. If you want a more dynamic shot, pick a time when your pet
has lots of energy.
Will they take their time and try different angles, approaches, and
settings?
Will they be patient? This is probably the most important thing. Animals
pick up on our vibes. It's like training a pet. Patience and repetition will
get you the desired results.
Keep these things in mind when having a pet portrait done. It's like training your dog, when you do it correctly you will get results you are looking for. Have it done right and you will have a photo to treasure for years to come.
