Taking good photos of your pets can be really tricky and sometimes frustrating. In this video, I will share some tips and tricks that I use when taking photos of my pets. I will aslo show some photos from Penny's 2nd birthday and some other photos that I had taken of her over the year since her 1st Birthday.
