Family Portraits - Pet Edition

Around 65% of Australian families own a pet and we love them dearly.

Photo tip: It is particularly hard to photograph animals with black or dark fur indoors, and using a flash doesn't often do them any favours. Lots of natural light is a must, and you'll need to increase your shutter speed if they are on the move!
