So you've decided to have professional portraits made of your pet, yeah! You will never regret the decision. We recently lost our dog Dingo at the age of fourteen and a half. We've been married for twenty years and had Dingo for fourteen of them, to say that there is a hole in our hearts is an understatement.
When we got Dingo's cancer diagnosis last year, the first call was to the oncologist and the second was to a local Dallas photographer friend of mine to capture some updated family photos of us with the new addition of our Border Collie puppy, Rooney. Loosing Dingo was a blow, but looking at the gorgeous images that Sylvia Elzafon took of our family has brought us comfort since his passing. I still regret that we have no beautiful portraits of our handsome Penny, the namesake for Penny Whistle Photography, only snapshots...never again.
As part of the consultation in advance of your session, one of the things we'll talk about is the session location. As a dog trainer, this is an important part of the conversation for me as my number one concern is always the animal. Yes I want you to love your images, but it's just as important to me that your dog, or cat, or horse, be relaxed and also enjoy the experience. Here are three things to consider when setting the location of your animal's portrait session.
