What I’m Looking For: The Basics
Pets who’ve been rescued and are in furever homes
this is not a showcase for pets still up for adoptionNo humans in the photos
nope, not even your kidsHigh quality digital pictures
either 300 dpi, 12 inches or 500×500 pixelsDo NOT crop your photos, we’ll do that!
send me the biggest raw copy of your pixDo NOT try to enlarge a small photo
if it wasn’t photographed large, the quality will suffer
What I’m Looking For: The Hints
Don’t try to pose your dog/cat
sit/stays or action shots are bestConsider the lighting
best lighting is natural sun outdoorsAvoid “busy” or “messy” backgrounds
Good: Flowers, grass, brick walls, fences, etc.Be creative, be funny!
capture your pet’s personalityTwo or more pets in a picture?
make sure they are really close together
Other Suggestions
Pets wet from swimming or bathing
The sillier the better!Pet muddy or misbehaving
great caught-in-the-act shots!Buddy/buddy with another animal
Birds, rabbits, horses, guinea pigs, cows…On vacation or in an unusual setting
beaches, camping, mountain tops, car tripsAction shots!
running, jumping, playing with toys, etc.
The #1 reason pictures are rejected is the image is TOO SMALL!
Just because the image looks good on your computer or phone, doesn’t mean the quality is there to transfer to print.
(see above under “The Basics” for sizing preferences)
#2: Please no instagram filters or frames on the photo!
It ruins the image for print in the calendar. Those photos will automatically be rejected.
#3: Do not SCREENCAP from your phone. Send the actual photo from your photo album.
Besides being WAY too small to begin with, once I crop the image to get rid of your phone’s date/time display, etc. the image is absolutely unusable. If you can screencap it on your phone, you should have it in your photo album to send.
