What If My Pet Poops? (And Everything Else You Want to Know)

If the thought of booking a photo session with your pet in the studio or at a location in our community  makes you nervous, you’re not alone. I hear it all the time:

“My dog’s too wiggly.”

“She’s super shy around new people.”

“He won’t sit still long enough for a picture.” 

"What if he poops on the floor?"   

"My pet doesn't like other animals."

Guess what? That’s perfectly okay—and honestly, it’s expected.


What really happens at a pet photo session? And is there such a thing as a ‘perfect pet’? (Hint: Nope!)

We welcome all pets just as they are—silly, curious, relaxed, shy, timid or rambunctious. Your pet doesn’t need to be perfect. They just need to be themselves.

Your pet is gently guided through the session. We always work at their pace and take breaks when needed.

Sometimes we get “the image” in the first few minutes. Other times, we wait for the moment they settle in. Either way, the result is the same: sweet, storybook-style portraits full of warmth and character.

There are no other pets are around. Your sessions are private.

 


What if my pet poops? I would be so embarrassed. 

No worries at all. Your photographer cleans it up, resets, and then moves along. I have plenty of cleaning supplies so you don't have to do or bring anything. 

Accidents happen more than you think, and it’s totally normal.

 


What if my pet don’t pose or sit still?

Some of the most heartwarming, personality-filled images happen in those unscripted moments—when your dog sniffs a book, flops on a blanket, or gives that classic head tilt.

Your pet photographer has a few techniques to gain attention and keep your pet in place as she continues to be patient with your pet. 

Your session is all about capturing their personality and expressions.
