• Pet Portraits "Patience and the Pose
• Not everyone has the patience, time, or endurance
  to capture the perfect photograph of pets or
  children with pets. It seems children and pets
  all have little patience, a mind of their own,
  and that never appears to be what the impatient
  photographer is looking for in the perfect pose.
• Portrait Photos  "Preparation When, and Where?"
• Try to give yourself "good timing" Directly
  before, or after a meal may or may not be the
  best time depending on the type of portrait you
  are looking for. They think hungry or relax,
  unfocused or satisfied and you think play and
  lets take some photos, which may not give you the
  exact mood, you are looking for.

• Photo Preparation "Ideas on Grooming and Getting
  your Pet Ready
• The sun may not be your best type of lighting
  choice but the sunshine seems to always bring out
  the best in our furry little friends! Fur perks
  up and all the little hair follicles seem to
  stand out perfectly.
• Photos, How Many? "What to Keep and What to throw
  out
• Take many photos and throw nothing out. Later
  they may just become more useful than you might
  be aware of. This requires a little artistic
  imagination on your part. You may think that
  because the photo is not centered correctly that
  the photo is unusable. Not so. If you have a
  great shot of your pet, it can be edited, zoomed
  in and centered for what might be the next
  million dollar pose.
