Our dogs are our best friends in life and they can make us feel relaxed. Having your dog at your photo shoot will keep your energy happy and chill which will make for great images. Dogs are also the best at PDA (public displays of affection) which means that those pictures are going to be full of the purest love around! Dogs tend to love attention most of the time so their energy will help you enjoy the camera lens on you too!

Why pay for a dog sitter when Jasper has 18 places to stay that are all pet friendly! From AirBnb's to mainstream hotels; Jasper has a healthy attitude towards our furred friends and is happy to let them stay and enjoy the vacation with you as well. What could be better than being able to bring your best friend along for a day of adventure in the mountains and then being able to curl up with them at night in your hotel room?

Bringing your dog along on a portrait or branding session allows your clients and customers to automatically build a more authentic relationship with your images and your brand. The vast majority of people have some kind of pet, so when they see one in your branding images they can relate and feel a connection to you. Seeing a glimpse of what your life is like outside of your business helps to build a stronger emotional relationship with your potential clients, which then translates into more marketing leads for you!

Our dogs are our best buds and it's hard to imagine a life without them. However, they aren't around as long as the rest of the family, so it's important to capture images of our furry friends while we can. I've had many images requested for a re-send by my clients as a memory keepsake after their beloved dog has passed on. So make sure you work on collecting those memories now.

Like kids, pets can be tricky to photograph. They are always on the go, can be moody and might not be willing to sit for long. This makes photos tough to capture! So why not leave it to a pro? When a pet comes along on a shoot I always make sure to take a few shots of just them so that I can pass them along for my clients to cherish. I have a few tricks up my sleeve to help keep any pups interested in my camera. So let's book a photo session today for you and your fur baby, I promise you'll be glad you did!
