Getting Your Pet's Attention

Getting your pet to look at the camera can be challenging, but a few simple tricks can make all the difference. Have a helper make sounds or hold treats behind you to direct your pet’s gaze toward the lens. You can also use their favorite toy to capture their attention and create that perfect engaging expression. Remember to be patient – the perfect shot is worth waiting for, and it’s often best to take photos when your pet is calm and relaxed rather than during high-energy play time.

Background Considerations

When it comes to backgrounds, simplicity is key. Simple backgrounds work best, such as solid colors, grass, or plain walls, as they won’t compete with your pet for attention. Try to avoid busy patterns or cluttered settings that might distract from your pet’s face. Since the background will be removed during the design process, focus primarily on getting a great shot of your pet’s face rather than worrying about the perfect setting. Don’t stress too much about backgrounds – our team can work with most settings to create beautiful results.

What to Avoid

Certain types of photos simply won’t work well for custom pajamas, so it’s important to avoid common pitfalls. Stay away from blurry or out-of-focus images, as well as photos where your pet is moving quickly and appears motion-blurred. Extreme close-ups that cut off ears, chin, or other facial features won’t provide enough of your pet’s face to work with. Dark or heavily shadowed photos make it difficult to see your pet’s features clearly, and low-resolution or pixelated images won’t print well on fabric. Finally, avoid photos with multiple pets unless you specifically want all of them featured on the pajamas.

After You Submit

Once you upload your photo, our design team will review it to ensure it meets our quality standards. If we need a different photo or have suggestions for improvement, we’ll contact you within 24 hours.
