Booking Your Pet Photography Session in Centennial
At Jeff Mosal Photography, we specialize in capturing the unique personality of your furry, scaled, or feathered companions through professional pet photography. Before your pet photoshoot, we'll have a creative consultation to understand exactly what you're looking for in your pet portraits and discuss your pet's individual personality, whether they are a playful dog or a more reserved cat.
For the best pet photos, we often recommend scheduling your session earlier in the morning, late afternoon, or early evening. This provides beautiful natural light and ensures it's not too hot for our four-legged friends during outdoor pet photography sessions.
Choosing the Perfect Pet Photography Location:
Your pet's home is frequently an excellent choice, particularly for cat photography and dog photography with shy dogs. They are naturally more comfortable in their own environment, leading to more relaxed pet portraits. For more outgoing dogs, local dog parks and open spaces in the Centennial area can be fantastic for capturing energetic outdoor pet photography. Your pet's safety and comfort are always our top priority. Rest assured, even during outdoor sessions, most dogs are photographed on a leash, which we will expertly remove in the final pet photos at no extra cost.
What to Expect During Your Pet Photoshoot:
When you and your pet arrive at our Centennial studio, you'll receive a warm welcome. We'll take the time to get to know you and your vision for your pet's portrait. Enjoy refreshments for both you and your pet while we discuss your specific pet photography needs. We'll then move to the camera room for your pet photoshoot. Our goal is to make both you and your pet feel relaxed and guide you through various poses to capture stunning dog portraits, cat portraits, or animal portraits. Once you're happy with the range of pet photos taken, we'll proceed to a proofing session, or if time is tight, we can upload the images to your private online gallery.
Ensuring Your Pet Looks Their Best for Their Pet Portrait:
To ensure your pet looks their absolute best for their pet photography session, consider a bath and trim for dogs with long fur. A well-groomed pet will shine in their pet photos! Food is often a great motivator for dogs, so consider feeding them a little less before the session. A walk beforehand can also help your dog maintain focus during their dog photoshoot. Please ensure your pet has had a chance to "do their business" before we begin. Bringing your pet's favorite toy and some treats can be incredibly helpful. We will also have toys and treats on hand. Please inform us of any dietary restrictions your pet may have.
What Should Your Pet Wear for Their Pet Photos?
Often, a stylish collar is all that's needed for beautiful pet portraits! You might even want to treat your pet to a new collar that complements your outfit for the pet photoshoot. If your pet is comfortable, fun outfits, hats, sunglasses, props, and other accessories can add a unique touch to your pet photos. However, please ensure your pet is comfortable in any clothing or accessories – we want happy and natural-looking dog portraits and cat portraits, not stressed ones!
