1 . Tips on Getting Dogs To Pose For Photos

Treats

Must I say no more…. TREATS!!! 

The number one tip I have for anyone trying to get their animal to pose, simply are treats. 

The power of some good treats + a quick couple snaps of the camera should be the perfect combination for a beautiful photo. 

Training treats are the absolute best due to their small size! Linked are some of my go-to’s.

Favorite Toys

You know THAT toy, they all typically have that ONE!

With that being said, don’t feel weird for bringing toys, treats, whatever you know works well for your fur baby!

MUST-HAVE TOYS

-Ball

-Rope

-Stuffed Animal (The Baby)

2. Pose Ideas with your Dogs

Candid (Natural) 

Not every photo has to be posed!

Personally, non- posed in the moment photos are some of my favorite photos 

Because…

They represent you!

How do you get candid photos?

By simply being yourselves and doing things you normally would do as if the camera is not even there

Posed (The Process…)

Getting your dog set up will be the very last step! 

Have everyone in the photo get situated THEN call the dog over

TREATS!! (Or fav toy) comes in handy at this exact moment

Smilllleeee! Everyone should be prepared to look at the camera and ready for photos to be captured


At the end of the day, the photos may not be absolutely perfect, but they should represent you + your fur babies

3. What to wear/ Making your dog stand out in photos

Does my dog need something to wear? Of course it is not a MUST. 

But…

It will definitely help with shining light on your pup.
