Blog from Sandra Ferguson Photography

I am certainly not a writer. If you have met me in person, you know I am as southern as you can get. My pronunciation and grammar may not be correct. But, I am passionate about two things. Photography and Animals. I have specialized in Pet Photography now for about 20 years. I am a professional photographer in Memphis, TN. I am a Dog Photographer, Cat Photographer, Horse Photographer, Bird Photographer. If it is an animal, I will photograph it! So from time to time, I thought I would share some of my tips on pet photography. I hope some of my blog post will catch your attention and maybe help with some pet photography of your own. Enjoy!!

Things to NOT ask your Pet Photographer

Can I have all the digitals? Can you photograph my sisters wedding? Can you give me the raw images? These will be edited tomorrow? I want to edit the photos myself? My dog is beautiful can you photograph for exposure? Can you photograph our family reunion? Can I pay after the session? Will you hold this date for me? Can I enter this photo into a contest? Can I have a painter paint a portrait from your proof? Can I just print at Walmart? I work with rescue, will you photograph

You have the best job ~ Memphis Pet Photographer

Yes ... I do ! Is it hard times .... YES it is ! Pet Photography is a challenge at times! I love the challenge! Has there ever been a "pet" I didn't get a photo of ... no. But it was a challenge!

There are many natural light photographers who do the faded blurry dreamy photos. They are beautiful! But its not my style. Yes I do in studio shots and on location shots. But I shoot with strobes and I want everything.... especially the pet to be sharp and clear. Faded blurry dr

Things to Ask your Pet Photographer, #3

So you have found a Pet Photographer.... yeahhhh!!! There are a few of us around ! I have specialized in Pet Photography over 15 years. Ask your Pet Photographer how they handle unique situations. There are fun loving happy dogs that don't want to sit. There are fearful dogs in new situations.
