My pet is very active/shy. Is that a problem?

As an owner, can I also have my photo taken with my pet?
- "Yes, absolutely! The bond between you and your pet is beautiful to capture. I actually encourage this."
What should I bring to the shoot?

Our children never want to be photographed. How do you deal with that?
- Don't worry! I'll make a game of it. We won't be posing statically, but rather walking, playing, and having fun. Those spontaneous photos are the most valuable.
