1. Bring along a goodie bag with all the supplies your pet will need on your outing

   This could include treats, poop bags, puppy wipes & don’t forget the lint roller! Bring a water bottle & a bowl to make sure your pet stays hydrated, also.

2. Inform your photographer that you will be including your pet

   Your photographer plans locations & a general shot list ahead of time, so it’s best to let them know your pet will be joining so they can be prepared.

3. Hire a professional sitter to care for your pet when they are not in the photos

   Typically, your dog will only be needed for a very small portion of the shoot. Hiring a professional pet sitter means your pet be fully occupied during their "off" time & you will be able to enjoy yourself knowing they are taken care of.
