If you feel like pet photography is your calling… but the business side still feels harder than it should be
You’re not alone.
In fact, this is something I hear from almost every pet photographer we speak to.
Even photographers who are incredibly talented behind the camera often feel stuck when it comes to:
- finding consistent clients
- increasing their income
- building a business that isn’t completely dependent on their local area
If we haven’t met yet, we're Nic and Nicole, the two photographers behind this kit.Â
Also, commonly referred to as 'the Nic's'.
Between the two of us, Nicole Begley and J.Nichole Smith, we've spent decades inside the pet photography world, both behind the camera shooting commercial work and mentoring photographers through building real businesses.
Nic spent 15 years as a commercial pet photographer and mentor. She started as a pet photographer and designer back in 2005, long before pet photography was the thriving niche it is today. Since then, she's worked with thousands of photographers around the world and seen inside hundreds of businesses across the US, UK, and beyond.
Nicole has been photographing animals since 2010 and mentoring photographers for over a decade, in both private client and commercial work. Her focus is the part most people skip right past: the production, the systems, and the behind-the-scenes structure that makes commercial shoots actually run like a business instead of a guessing game.Â
Two photographers. Two angles on the same commercial path.
And one thing we both agree on completely...
The Traditional Pet Photography Business has Limits.
When your work focuses entirely on private client portraits, your income is heavily tied to:
- your geographic location
- the local economy
- how many clients exist within driving distance
That’s a beautiful business model for many photographers. But it can also make it harder to:
- scale your income
- reach six figures
- or challenge yourself creatively.
That’s where commercial pet photography comes in.
Commercial work means photographing for brands and businesses, not just private clients.
And the exciting part?
Those brands don’t have to be global companies like Purina.
They could be:
- a local dog walker
- a pet sitter
- a treat company
- a boutique pet brand
Businesses everywhere need high-quality images to market their products and services. And unlike private client work…
Commercial photography isn’t limited by geography.
- Products can be shipped to you.
- Brands can hire photographers anywhere.
- And projects often come with higher budgets and repeat work.
PLUS you can actually identify, find contact info for and pursue your ideal clients (instead of just waiting and hoping they come to you let it feels like is the way with pet parents).
But here’s the problem most photographers run into
Even if the idea of commercial work sounds exciting…
Most photographers feel like they’re completely guessing their way through it.
You might be wondering:
- How do I even pitch brands?
- What do I say when a company emails me?
- How do I price commercial work?
- What actually happens on a commercial shoot?
- Do I need assistants or extra gear?
- Where do these clients even come from?
So instead of exploring the opportunity…
Many photographers simply never try.
Not because they aren’t capable.
But because they didn’t access to the right knowledge, templates or tools.
