The new trend for pet lovers is photographing their pets. We caught up with Professional Pet Photographer and owner of Cow Dreamz Photography, Michelle Pelberg, for some tips on how to photograph your pet.

A pet in action makes a good photograph. People often complain that their pet won’t sit still for a picture and fail to realize that the pet in action can work for their advantage. You can capture your pet practicing their adorable habits by switching your camera setting to “motion.”

Use treats. Treats will get your pet to look at you, and in turn, the camera. However, you have to be careful because sometimes treats make your pet want to be in your face. This can also be used to get good shots.
