Even though many of my dog clients are photographed on colorful backdrops while jumping around and catching treats; this isn’t suitable for every dog. Sometimes dogs are older and have trouble standing on slippery paper. Other times, dogs are extremely anxious about the studio light or camera, even after spending time trying to desensitize them. For dogs that can’t handle a backdrop session, there is another option.

For Senior Dogs or Dogs That Are Anxious

Natural Light Studio

My natural light studio is the perfect place for senior dogs and anxious dogs.

• large window for light

• comfy bed setup for a soft surface

• white walls for a timeless look

• no flashing lights or bright colors

It may be hard to believe looking at these pictures, but sweet Archer was VERY anxious during his colorful backdrop session, so we switched gears. Look how happy and relaxed he became for the natural light studio:
