When it's time to snap some photos of your favorite fur friend, why not go to the people who literally wrote the book on it. Authors of Dog Photography for Dummies, Sarah Sypniewski and Kim Rodgers, started back in 2008 as some of the first pet photographers in Los Angeles, and are still going strong today. As pet owners themselves, they know how to get your pooch to sit, stay, and look amazing for the camera. Even though their name is Bark Pet Photography, they've also been known to snap a cat or two.
