LOOKING FOR RARE BREED DOGS AND CATS TO PHOTOGRAPH IN THE TAMPA BAY AREA
I'm on a mission to photograph and showcase unique looking or rare breed dogs and cats.
We all know that Labradors, Doodles and Frenchies are awesome dogs and popular for a reason, but I would love to get some rarer breeds in front of my camera to mix it up. Let's bring awareness to the less well-known breeds, their unique characteristics and personalities!
If you're the mom or dad to one of a rare breed pets, or you know someone who is, keep on reading!
DOES MY PET NEED TO BE FULL BREED?
Nope, mixed breed is fine, as long as they look like their breed or have a unique look. Please make sure you upload a photo in your application
DOES MY PET NEED TO BE TRAINED?
Not at all, your pets don't have to be trained! I work with pets with all levels of training, or with no training at all most of the time. We photograph your dogs on leash and I edit the leash out later in Photoshop. I have all kinds of tricks to get your pets attention, noise makers, treats etc

THE PROCESS
CAN I BE PHOTOGRAPHED WITH MY PET?
Absolutely! You, your family and your other pets are more than welcome to participate at no additional cost! I'm one of the very few photographers who double specialize in people and pets. Why this is important? Because people photographers usually don't know how to get your dog to cooperate or look at the camera (I have my tricks for this!) and pet photographers have no idea how to make humans look great and pose them in a flattering way. I promise, I will make the entire family and the fur kids look amazing!
* the complimentary digital image has to be of your rare breed pet only, since that's the main focus of this project.
"Lila was absolutely fantastic. I compared a lot of photographers when choosing somebody to capture photos of my fur babies and Lila had the best quality that I could find and was able to pinpoint exactly the vision that I wanted. She was extremely flexible and understanding when plans or location had to change, and she was really understanding when it came to taking payment plans that worked with my life. I hope one day I can get additional photos taken by her the rest of my fur family. 100% recommend!!"
