Say Cheese! (or bacon)

Funny — I love people photos but most every photo that I have posted on this blog is either of the brown fat girl, (Libby), my horse neighbors or outdoor landscape/floral shots. That’s a sign that I’m working way too many hours — and no one wants to see a photo of the back of someone’s bald head. If you have a loved one/family member that just happens to have 4 legs, here are a few tips for photographing them…

  • Be patient — it ain’t easy.
  • Get on your pet’s level; that’s where you’ll get the best results.
  • Use natural sunlight when possible — a flash causes red or green eyes and distorts the true coloring/shading of your pet.
  • Try to capture their personality — if they are generally happy, get a smile!
