Pet Gallery

Only a very few people look at their pets as possessions. For the vast majority, pets are part of the family. They provide friendship, companionship, warmth, and comfort. For many, a photo of the family pet is as important as a photo of the children.

Pet photography offers a different challenge than humans. Pets, like children, are notoriously uncooperative. Pets often want to be doing something different and become very defensive when they are made to do what they don't want to do. Getting them to sit still long enough to get several photos can be daunting task, especially with energetic animals, such as many dogs, or curious animals such as cats. Unlike most human portraits, shooting animals often involves getting down on one's belly and crawling around to get the best angles.

Pet photography starts at $50 per hour.

It is not just cats and dogs, but horses too.
This was Mitzy. She was a sweetheart. All she wanted was to be petted - and some more apple.
Even a cat realizes that looking good in front of the camera is important. 
And what is a pet portrait session if you don't get the pet's owner in on the action too. Besides, it helps keep the pet calm and interested. Important stuff.
