Don't use a flash. (Look at Stella's eyes to see why.)

If you are shooting indoors, make sure you are in a well lit room.

You do not want a bright light source behind the subject.

Take the picture when your pet is relaxed and comfortable. Wait for the right moment, don't try to force it.

If your pet is hungry, eager to go out or exhausted from a good romp, it will probably not appear as composed as Tippy does.

Take your own pictures in a familiar environment. Both you and your pet will be more comfortable. Strangers will only serve as a distraction.

Above all, be patient.
