How to have a successfull pet photo shoot.

Pet photography is one of the hardest things to photograph.  Animals can be very unpredictable.  I find when I shoot pets it is helpful to have an assistant come and help with the animals. Especially is there is more than one pet involved. 


This shoot was so fun I had the pleasure of photographing to adorable bulldogs. They were so much fun to photograph. I always bring some props to a photo shoot for pets.  I like to bring a few toys and something that is squeaky and makes some noise.  This will get the animals attention and you can quickly snap a photo. I also like to bring some funny outfits for them to wear. I like floral kids headbands work well to put around there neck.  I also have no tutus for little kids that I use on the medium to larger dogs.  These just add a little something fun to the photos.


We choose a park in Parkersburg, WV for the location of our photo shoot. I felt it was important to get there early before it got to hot for the dogs.  The owner was very well prepared also and had water for her fur babies.  The park had beautiful grass lots of room for us to find a nice location. 


Overall the dogs did great for their photo session.  Please View my sample video below and some sample photos. To set up your own pet photo session in Parkersburg, WV Contact Amanda Buckley Imaging at 740-683-6339

Try a floral hat for your 6 month kids photo session.

I love adding the cutest props for childrens photos. One of my favorite new props to use is a flora bonnet or hat.  The have a nice rim of flowers that frame out a child face.   I purchase my flora hats from a local distributor or from Etsy.  
The floral bonnet adds the cutest touch to your 6 month olds photo session. The floral bonnets I have been using are up cycled.  They are made from the arms of old shirts and sweaters.  The flowers are then sewn or glued onto the hats.
