A Fun Take on Family and Pet Portraits

It was a privilege to finally meet "The Pawtographer" at a local celebrity event. Why such a unique privilege, you wonder? Well, in addition to his celebrity clientele, a chance to make it to the front of one of his very long lines, marks a truly special occasion. He does travel nationwide in addition to shooting in his studio, to offer photo oppurtunities to pets and owners, alike, but is rather known for drawing a crowd, due to his overwhelming popularity.

A Pawtography portrait is nothing short of an experience beacsue the most unique and imaginative sets are used for the photo shoots. Every last detail is attended to, since real props are used instead of 1-dimensional backdrops. In fact, it even feels like you are on the mini version of a movie set at Universal Studios. Perhaps, that is what sets him apart from the competition.

Daisy was equally enthused about this, as you can see by her facial expressions and adorable head tilt in the photo below. She really was captivated by the man standing behind the Pawtographer, squeaking toys and calling her name. If you are considering an appointment with the Pawtogapher, it is worth mentioning that your pet should be able to sit and stay on command for the best outcome. Daisy of course is quite capable of that, since she knows a treat is a likely reward for such good listening. In fact, if she is shown a treat in advance, she will demonstrate all of her tricks in a row, as if it were a choreographed routine. If she had her own personals add, it would read; cute, funny and highly motivated.

The Pawtographer used two separate scenes with Daisy, a pirate ship and a dock scene, complete with pilings and sand. I opted out of dressing her in the pirate costume, but I did pose with her in the dock scene. Right now Daisy is an only child, but if she had siblings, human or otherwise, I would certainly do this annually for the perfect holiday greeting or family portrait. The Pawtographer does photograph many children and families in addition to pets.

If you should get an opportunity to meet the Pawtographer at a pet event or if you are local to his studio, you should definitely have a photo taken. Worth the wait and it will be a memorable event, guaranteed.
