Starting Your Pet Photography Business – with Jeff Otto

Jeff is a member of PPA (Professional Photographers of America) and insured through Tom C. Pickard and Co. He has been around dogs his entire life. His furry best pal Badonkadonk, a red Doberman with a penchant for goofiness and a weakness for human food, often served as his muse and was the inspiration for Shaggy Shutterbug. Jeff has volunteered with a host of dog-related organizations including K9 Connection, The Sol Foundation and Pets for Vets.

And if your dog needs a little training before or after their photo session, Shaggy Shutterbug works hand-in-hand with one of L.A.’s top dog trainers and the official dog trainer of the City of Santa Monica, Pawsitively Perfect Pooches. Jeff also happens to be engaged to PPP’s founder, Melissa Hummer.
