Have you ever wanted to do a photoshoot with your pet? Maybe you’re getting flashbacks of those cheesy, double-exposure ‘80s portraits that have been memed in recent years. Yes, you know the ones we’re talking about — those awkward family photos with Mr. Fluffles that we love to cringe at. Although the mullets have stayed in the past, this type of pet photography has come back into fashion. Ironically, of course.

And there’s no one doing it better than Danielle Spires. Her creative portrait photography captures people and their furry friends in a unique way. Some of her shots are quite dramatic, others, very whimsical. Either way, her retro photos perfectly capture the kitschiness of an era that fell so hard out of fashion. 

However, it’s all in good fun and if you look at the effort that goes into Danielle’s pet portraits, you’ll see she’s truly an artist. Not to mention, her subjects will have a wonderful reminder of their dearest pets to display on the mantelpiece for all time. When you’re ready, check out the wholesome but funny cat photos from the past that inspired this meme in the first place!

Irene poses with pet Elvis Costello, whose favorite song is "Radio, Radio": Iguana bite the hand that feeds me. Iguana bite that hand so badly. Iguana make them wish they'd never seen me.
