That $60 "pet photographer" I hired last week took a photo of my dog mid-yawn that looks like a demon possession

I booked this lady on Craigslist who claimed she was a professional pet portrait artist. Met her at the park last Saturday. She kept saying "look at the birdie" and my golden retriever Cooper just stared at the sun. Then he yawned and she snapped it right then. The photo has his tongue curled up, eyes half closed, and the lighting makes it look like he's glowing red. My mom wants to frame it for Christmas. Has anyone else ended up with a picture that made their pet look straight out of a horror movie?

The third shot my cat sitter took of Mr. Whiskers last year made him look like he was about to start speaking in tongues. I used to think pet photographers were a waste of money because I could just use my phone. But after seeing that demonic yawn photo your mom wants to frame, I totally get the appeal now. Honestly, those accidental horror shots are way more memorable than the boring professional ones. Your mom has the right idea because that picture will tell a funny story for years. Cooper might look possessed but at least he's a memorable possessed dog.

Wait wait wait, @jade_hernandez are you telling me that cat sitter got THREE shots of Mr. Whiskers looking like he was summoning demons? That's honestly impressive in a terrifying way.
