We all love to take pictures of our family pets when a cute or playful moment presents itself. However, high end photography is hard to achieve when taken with your personal camera or smartphone. It is also impossible to achieve the same quality resolution that a professional photographer can.

Anne Lord is not only a Leesburg, Virginia wedding photographer, but an avid pet lover, who enjoys photographing pets and capturing their unique personalities. Here are three reasons to schedule your beloved pet for a portrait session.

1) Your pet is a part of your family

Pets – they grow up with us, share everyday with us, they are a part of us. Whether you want to capture your playful puppies or kittens before they grow up (which they do all too fast) or have a portrait taken of a faithful pet who is nearing the rainbow bridge; have a professional photographer capture your furry family member’s image.

We all like to get professional photos taken with loved ones, like spouses or families. So why not also capture your beloved pet with a quality shoot as well! If you are usually the one taking the pictures of your pet, sometimes it is hard to be in the photo yourself. Having a pet photographer gives you an opportunity to be participate in the picture and your relationship with your pet be the focus. Pet photography may seem like a little bit of luxury. However, once you capture those special moments and bit of personality with your pet, you will have value them forever.

2) Gallery quality pet portraits

With professional family photos that include your special pet, or portraits of just your four-legged friend, you can have unique and personalized decor for your home. There is no store-bought photo that can mean more than having a custom-made piece of art that is of your cat or dog.

A professional photographer will have the training, equipment, and experience to produce gallery quality portraits. With an experienced pet photographer, such as Anne Lord, local to the Leesburg, Virginia area, you can expect images with great lighting, details, and softness that a point-and-shoot camera or smartphone cannot achieve. By using an experienced photographer for your pet portraits, you can get finely tuned, high end, striking images that display you and your pet’s personality and bond.

3) Priceless memories of your pet that are forever

When we feel nostalgic, we like to return to our photos. Memories are priceless. They tell the story of our lives, and our animals are a part of our lives. Animals do not last forever, no matter how much we wish they did. It is great to be able to get photo opportunities while we have these special family members with us. Why not get a new photo shoot done with your pet every couple of years, when they are still strong and healthy, so that when they do pass, you will have those precious moments from every phase of their life.

You will always want to take your own photos of your pets in the moment, but for the purpose of creating important keepsakes or immortalizing your special furry family member, only a professional pet photographer can bring you the quality you desire.
