Capture the Magic of Summer with Simply Dog Photography: 

Summer is the perfect time to create lasting memories with your furry companions. The warm weather, long days, and vibrant scenery provide an ideal backdrop for beautiful photos. At SDP, I'm passionate about capturing these moments. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your summer dog photography experience!

Beat the Heat: How to Handle Excessive Temperatures

Summer can be hot, but with a little planning, we can ensure a comfortable and enjoyable session for both you and your dog. I always schedule my sessions for just a few hours before sunset. The light is gorgeous and the temps have typically cooled down dramatically making for beautiful portrait sessions. Make sure to bring plenty of water and take breaks in the shade. If your dog is particularly sensitive to heat, consider a stylish cooling vest to keep them comfortable. Remember, your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

Dress to Impress: What to Wear to a Summer Dog Session

Choosing the right outfit can make a big difference in your photos. Opt for light, breathable fabrics that keep you cool and comfortable. Soft pastels and light colors complement the summer vibe and look great against lush green backgrounds or vibrant flower fields. Don’t forget about your dog’s accessories! A cute collar can add a pop of personality to their photos. Coordinating your outfits with your dog’s accessories can create a harmonious and visually appealing look.

Finding the Perfect Spot: Best Locations for a Summer Dog Session

Columbus offers a variety of stunning locations perfect for a summer dog photography session. Consider a serene park with sunlit fields, a blooming flower garden, or a scenic lakeside spot. These locations provide natural beauty and allow your dog to explore and have fun during the session. Longer days and gorgeous sunsets add a magical touch to your photos, creating a warm and golden glow that’s simply irresistible. We can help you choose the best location that matches your vision and showcases your dog’s personality.

The Benefits of Summer Sessions: Why Book Now?

Summer sessions offer unique advantages that make them a popular choice among pet owners. The extended daylight hours provide more flexibility in scheduling and more time for your dog to get comfortable and playful. The vibrant summer colors and lush landscapes create stunning backdrops for your photos. Plus, summer sessions often result in happy, relaxed dogs, which translates to more natural and joyful images. With only a few spots left for the summer, now is the perfect time to book your session and take advantage of these seasonal benefits.

Dos and Don’ts for a Successful Summer Dog Session

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable session, here are a few dos and don’ts:

• Do: Bring plenty of water, arrive on time, and keep your dog’s favorite treats handy for motivation.
• Don’t: Schedule during the hottest part of the day, force your dog into uncomfortable situations, or forget to check for ticks after your session.
