9 Photos Every Pet Owner Needs to Take with Their Furry Family

Pet owners understand that the minute you let an animal into your heart, they instantly become a part of the family. If you’re like most pet owners, you love taking photos of your favorite furry family members, so here are a few new ideas to inspire you. 

1. Have a little fun. Whether you love playing fetch with your dog on the beach or spending the afternoon with your cat and a piece of string, get a few action shots of you and your pet having some fun. These candid moments are so genuine and let your pet’s personality shine through. 
2. Face to face. Have you ever held your pet’s face to yours, closed your eyes, and felt an incredible connection? This can also make for a beautiful photo that captures your bond as a pet and owner. 
3. A black and white affair. While puppies are always picture-perfect, taking photos of your older pets is just as impressive and beautiful. Black and white photography is the perfect way to capture some moments of your oldies, ensuring you can look back on the shots for years to come. 
4. Catch a sunset. If you live in an area where you can quickly go walking in a park or on the beach, capture a sunset with your furry friend. Grab a spot somewhere pretty and take in the evening with them by your side.
5. Family feet. If you’ve always wanted to take a photo of your family’s feet sticking out from under the duvet at the end of the bed, why not throw your pet’s furry paws into the mix too? 
6. Pets in a blanket. If you love cuddling with your pet on the couch or in bed, grab a blanket, get comfortable and let your photographer do the rest. 
7. Holiday snaps. If your family enjoys celebrating and spending holidays together, rope your pets into your photos. You can even add in a few props to fit in with your theme.
8. Paws and hands. To capture a more detailed shot, place your pet’s paw in your hand and get a close-up shot of that. This is another great one for black and white photography as it adds an extra layer of emotion. 
9. Hobbies. If your pets are generally with you when you enjoy your hobbies and interests, grab a few photos with them. Whether you love hiking, painting, or surfing, there are so many ways to incorporate your pets into the moments you love. 

If you would like to take a few photos of your pets that you can have prints, an album, or wall portraits, a professional photo session is the way to go. Not only do you benefit from your photographer’s experience, their creative eye and professional product line too.
