Pet Photos
Pro photographers know it's hard to get pets to smile, say cheese and avoid blinking at the flash. But you can put a smile on the faces of your pet-owning customers by capturing their Lassie, Scooby or Beethoven in a precious pose every year on their birthday.
The surest way to differentiate your professional quality pet photography from what your customers shoot in the park or living room is to integrate a variety of pet-friendly props into the studio setup. Pet-friendly refers to props that
- withstand slobbering and soiling without staining or deteriorating
- wipe clean fast and easily between shots
- handle paws, claws and minor biting without falling
apart
- are non-reflective
- are safe with no loose, small parts
Pet-friendly props that draw customers in every year to
photograph their pets include numerals that serve as a date
stamp marking their birthdays. With a set or two of 0-9 in
the studio, you're prepared to shoot nearly any pet every
year from puppyhood to adulthood for its entire life (pet
turtles may require a third set of numerals!).
 Tried and true pet-friendly props such as classic, red fire
hydrants and antique streetlamps add color and/or height to
help set the composition based on the color and size of the
pet.
These pet-friendly numerals, streetlamps and the
fire hydrant are rotationally molded from waterproof
polyethylene plastic to resist scuffs and scratches and
wipe clean with a sponge.

In The Photo Gallery
Outdoor summer weddings require a physical structure
to create a central gathering point and visual focal
point. Debbie Wagner of Country Creations, Chubbuck,
Idaho, setup this white colonnade arch system against a
backdrop of lush, green trees for a wedding in a park. As
an alternative to the curved colonnade arch system, this
straight arch system was setup in a line with symmetrical
straight arches flanking the angled center arch. Sheer,
white curtains focused attention on the bride and groom by
establishing a visual rear wall.
Matching pedestals topped with floral urns on each
side extended the width of the setup while the floral
decorations on and around the arch system coordinated with
the color scheme of the wedding and the greenery of the
park.
