Why start a pet photography business? Professional pet and dog photography is a very profitable business. Pets are a big part of our families, and some pet owners love to spend money to spoil their best friend.

According to the APPMA 2007-2008 National Pet Owners Survey, 63% of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 71.1 millions homes, and there really aren't that many professional photographers out there who specialize in pet photography, which means you may be one of the few photographers in your area that does it.

There's a demand for freelance photographers that specialize in pet photography. Whether it's the beloved and spoiled family pet or a prized show dog, people absolutely love pictures of their pets and surprisingly, most people buy more images of their family pet portraits than they do on the rest of their family's portraits!

The pet photography business is an ideal home based business for WAHM's (work at home moms and dads). You can choose your own hours, so it's very flexible and all you really need for this business is a camera and a true love for pets!
