A Good Clear Photo is Key

  • Take the photo outdoors, in good natural light.

  • Try for eye level - not from above, looking down. 

  • Avoid back lighting or too much shading on the face

  • If there’s a particular look that defines your pooch, try to capture that

  • The Eyes — if need be, take a close up photo of the eyes.

  • Take collars off.

  • Consider having two people during the photo shoot : one with treats, the other with the camera.

  • Take as many as possible and then choose a couple of favourites.

  • A good, clear photo is key to the process.

  • Be sure the pooch is hydrated - not panting.
