I have so many client’s each year ask if they can bring their dog to the photo session. And the answer has always been YES!

I have had dogs my whole life and completely understand they are part of the family. So let’s make sure they are in some of you family photos!

Here are some of my best tips to make sure you have an amazing photo session with your furry family:

First, it’s important to come prepared.

What to Bring:

Treats
Water
Leash
Poop Bags
Favorite Toy

We’ll usually do part of the session with your dog and part without. Depending on the dog’s personality (and the weather) I recommend either having someone come with to take your dog or we’ll leash them off to the side of where we are at.

I approach having your dog in the photos the same way I approach my portraits. While one of everyone looking is great, I’d much rather capture the love and joy your furry family member brings. I want to capture their personality and how you interact with them!

Remember they are so Intune to your energy that the more calm and laid back you are, the more they will relax into our session…if you’re unsure about bringing them somewhere they have never been an in-home session is the perfect place to capture them with you!
