Photo Upload
Brie has requested that you upload multiple photos of your pet for her to work from. See below for tips on the best photos to submit.

1. Photos should be taken in clear lighting conditions, avoiding low-light photos that result in low-resolution. High-resolution images are preferred.

2. Photos taken at or near your pet’s eye level.

3. Look for a photo where your pet’s expression captures their personality and character.

4. Ensure your pet’s face is free from any obstructions, like toys in their mouth. If you have multiple suitable photos, feel free to share a few different angles or poses.
