What makes a great pet photo? The photos we send to our clients are a snapshot into their pet's lives while they're away. Caitlin J. McColl, founder and co-President of the Pet Photographers Club, joins the show to share how to get the best photos possible for your clients. The best camera is the one you have on you, so Caitlin gives us tips for making the most out of our cellphone. We discuss how to know when you've got the best shot. Caitlin also shares how we can showcase each pet’s personality in the photo. Topics on this episode:  Unique challenges in pet photography Picking good photos Making the most out of your cellphone Taking great action shots How can we go pro?  Main take away: Photos mean so much more than just an update. They are a gift we can give the client. About our guest: Caitlin J. McColl is a multi-award winning professional pet photographer based in Melbourne, Australia. She launched her business, Ragamuffin Pet Photography after adopting her own scruffy dog twelve years ago. She is now the author of five dog-filled books, founder of the Tails of the World Collective and co-president of The Pet Photographers Club. She's passionate about celebrating the joy that dogs bring to our world through emotive, beautiful photography and teaching others how to do the same.
