In our experience we have found that the optimum photoshoot length is about one hour with dogs. This allows for the dog to take a break and a variety of scenes. Working with cats can be trickier and sometimes you get 10 seconds and sometimes 10 minutes or more. As long as your animal photographer has brought along his bag of patience, they’ll manage to capture some stunning photos for you, no matter how long your pet is willing to work with them for.
