Talk to Your Photographer in Advance
It’s so important to not only inform your photographer that your dog will be tagging along, but to also discuss how you’d like to include them. Perhaps there is a specific photo you’re looking to recreate or maybe your dog is a bit anxious when meeting new strangers & so your photographer may want to allow them to warm up before trying to take their photo.
This will also allow your photographer to select an appropriate location that is dog friendly & plan their photo timeline accordingly.

2. Pack Their Supplies
Any time you take your dog out for an adventure it’s a good idea to pack anything they might need. After all, you can’t expect them to remember to do it! You wouldn’t want to forget to bring poop bags or water for them, but you also may want to add a lint roller to the pack.
If you bought any attire for them to wear during the shoot be sure not to leave it behind. And of course, don’t forget the treats!

3. Let Them Take Breaks
Not every dog is cut out to be a professional model so while you may be eager to have them in your photos & keep working until you get the perfect shot, it’s a good idea to allow them to take breaks. If they don’t have a chance to be free in between shots, they may get frustrated & tire out too quickly.

4. Practice Ahead of Time
Take the time before the big shoot to practice with your pup a bit. Find out what gets their attention & better yet, what may get them a little TOO excited.
Do they have any favorite words or phrases that elicit a head tilt or make their ears perk up? Knowing this ahead of time can make the actual photo shoot run much smoother.

5. Get Their Attention
Time to put that practice into action! When it comes time for your pup to be in front of the camera, you’ll want someone to help get their attention. If you want them looking at the camera, you’ll need to bring their focus there.
It can be helpful to have a squeaky toy, or a treat in hand to ensure they’re looking at the right place. Be aware to not have too many people trying to get their attention at once as it can get them too riled up or confuse them.

6. Hire a Professional!
Believe it or not, there are actual professionals that will tend to your pet at your photo shoot. Hiring a professional is the absolute best way to ensure you get that paw-fect shot without it being too overwhelming or to time consuming.
They’ll be there to help your pet pose for the photos, get their attention & then step away with them to ensure they have a break without taking time away from your photo session. This also allows your photographer to truly focus on you & all the important aspects of their job instead of trying to wrangle your pup & keep their focus.

Pet Project by Jess
Service Offered: Professional Pet Photography Service
Woman Owned Small Business
Calling all dog moms and dads! FairyTail Pet Care - Las Vegas has recently partnered with an amazing new small business located here in Vegas. Meet Jess, the owner of Pet Project by Jess. She is a dogtographer offering dreamy, whimsical, custom photography designed for the pet obsessed. If you're the type of pet parents who consider your dog family and want to include them in all of life's big milestones, she has got you covered. Her style of photography is made for the modern day pet parents that want to show off and obsess over their fur babies.
Jess is married and has a rescue pup named Ellie, who many times makes guest appearances in her mommy’s photography. Pet Project By Jess began as a challenge to learn a new skill to add to her media related talents but once she was hooked, that quickly turned into a pretty regular hobby outside of her full time job. She has since turned that little pet project of her’s into something special and meaningful by combining two of her favorite things - dogs and photography and turning it into her everyday, full time job. Over the years, her skill level and equipment grew into what it is today. Over the past 10 years she has experience photographing families, engagement, maternity, newborn and grads, but found a real passion working with pets. “ I believe it’s a niche that’s not as widely offered to those who are just as obsessed about their beloved dogs as I am, so I’d like to change that and offer something a little different for people like me.” - Jess Rodriguez
Jess is also our preferred puptographer for our twice a month Foster Field Trip (hyperlink blog post for foster field trips). We host two monthly field trips for the pups located at The Animal Foundation, this is where we get to check out a pup from the shelter for the day so we can help get them socialized which hopefully helps get them adopted faster. We take this time with the adopdatple pup and we ensure their day is magical and exciting. We also take this time to get some fun loving pictures of the pup for their shelter profile. We both volunteer our time and money for these field trips as we are dedicated to finding animals their furever home!
Book a stress free engagement session with just the two of you and your pup to be sure you get all the photos you need to celebrate this special occasion!
